Purpose: To present the main findings of a post-authorization safety study assessing pregnancy and infant outcomes after prenatal golimumab exposure in a real-world setting.

Methods: This observational population-based cohort study included data from pregnancies ending in 2006-2018 (Finland) or 2019 (Denmark, Sweden). Infants born to women with rheumatic diseases or ulcerative colitis diagnoses were identified.

Purpose: Studies focusing on safety outcomes typically require large populations to comprehensively characterise the patient groups exposed to the medicines under investigation. However, there is often less information for subpopulations, such as pregnant or breastfeeding women, particularly when new medicines are considered. It is important to understand what information can be obtained from drug utilization studies (DUS) involving pregnant women in the early years postmarketing to provide supportive information for safety studies.

Purpose: Most pregnant people take at least one medication during gestation or while breastfeeding, however data are lacking on the safety of medication use in these populations. We conducted a landscape review of real-world data sources specific to medication use in pregnancy and breastfeeding populations that have met, or have potential to meet, health authorities' requirements for post-authorization safety studies.

Methods: A 2-phase approach identified data sources from literature, publicly available registers of non-interventional post-authorization studies of pregnant women, existing database inventories, and emerging data sources known to the authors.

Background: Ustekinumab, a human immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23, is indicated for multiple immune-mediated diseases. Ustekinumab is actively transported across the placenta and theoretically could impact pregnancy outcomes. Limited data on pregnancy outcomes with ustekinumab exposure are available.
