BOOSTRIX Tdap Vaccine

We’re Collecting Info on BOOSTRIX When Taken in Pregnancy

MotherToBaby is currently enrolling pregnant people who received (or plan to receive) the BOOSTRIX Tdap vaccine in an observational study. This vaccine is recommended during the 3rd trimester of pregnancy to prevent pertussis (whooping cough) in infants under the age of 2 months. If you have already received the Tdap vaccine during the third trimester of your pregnancy or you plan to do so, we invite you to join our observational study. Participation involves providing information about your pregnancy and your baby’s development for a certain period of time after birth.

Please note that we will not ask you to receive the Tdap vaccine as part of the study; we are solely interested in gathering data from those who have already chosen to receive BOOSTRIX during the third trimester of pregnancy. If you meet this criteria, you may be eligible to participate.

We’re Collecting Info on Kesimpta® When Taken in Pregnancy

MotherToBaby is currently enrolling participants into an observational study examining the use of Kesimpta® (ofatumumab) when taken within 5 1/2 months before or during pregnancy. Our studies are strictly observational, which means we will never ask you to take any new medicines, experimental drugs or to change any part of your healthcare routine. If you enroll, you’ll simply be followed by our team through the remainder of your pregnancy, and your baby will be followed for a period of time after birth. Eligible moms-to-be who enroll in the study may receive up to $250 to compensate them for the time they spend completing study activities.

Our goal is to provide parents and their health providers with the evidence-based information that they need to make more informed healthcare decisions during pregnancy. To do that, we need your help. If you have multiple sclerosis and have taken Kesimpta® (ofatumumab) at any point in your current pregnancy, or shortly prior to pregnancy, you may qualify for this important study.
