How Does Lupus Impact Pregnancy?

Many pregnant people with systemic lupus erythematosus (or SLE, a type of lupus) and lupus nephritis will have healthy babies. However, some people experience complications. With your help, we can capture more information about how lupus can affect pregnancy.

“Our observational research program collects important information about lupus and its treatment during pregnancy. This information will be used by healthcare providers and future parents to better manage lupus during pregnancy.”

— Christina Chambers, PhD, MPH, Lead Investigator, MotherToBaby Pregnancy Studies

Our lupus study includes:

• 1-3 phone interviews during your pregnancy and at least 1 interview after you have your baby.
• Your permission to obtain a copy of your and your baby’s medical records from your healthcare providers.
• An opportunity to receive a specialized, non-invasive exam of your baby with a study doctor

You can help us better understand lupus and its treatment in pregnancy. Will you become our partner and join the Lupus & Pregnancy Study?

Help Us Understand the Possible Effects of Benlysta® in Pregnancy

Many people need to take medication during pregnancy to appropriately manage a chronic health condition. In some cases, avoiding or stopping medication use during pregnancy may be more harmful than taking medication. Yet fewer than 10% of medications have enough information to determine their safety for use in pregnancy — this is where you come in!

MotherToBaby is currently enrolling pregnant women in a study examining the use of Benlysta® (belimumab) to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (or SLE, a type of lupus) or active lupus nephritis (lupus-related kidney inflammation) during pregnancy.

Are you currently pregnant? Did you take Benlysta® at any point in your current pregnancy? If you answered “yes” to both of these questions, then you have the opportunity to help us learn more about Benlysta®.

“There is a huge need to generate more data for all of the drugs that people who are pregnant need to take.”
