Better Safety Info in Pregnancy Starts with Your Referral

Rigorously Designed Research

We partner with physicians and patients to monitor pregnancy exposure to medications. Our strong cohort study design allows our team to tease apart risks that may be associated with underlying disease versus those associated with a medication exposure.

Referral Is Easy & Patient Self-Enrolls 

1- Refer:  All you need to do is refer your patients to us. Women self-enroll, so after you make the referral nothing further is required from you.

2 – Observation:  Our research is by observation only — we will not ask your patient to take or change any medications or change any part of her healthcare routine

3 – Participation:   Women complete 1-3 phone interviews during pregnancy and at least 1 after pregnancy, and authorize the release of medical records for the pregnancy and for their baby.

Please consider referring your patients if they fall into either of these two groups:

  1. Patients who have taken any of the following medications during a current pregnancy:
  • Actemra® (Tocilizumab)
  • Arava® (Leflunomide)
  • Aubagio® (Teriflunomide)
  • Cimzia® (Certolizumab)
  • Dupixent® (Dupilumab)
  • Fasenra® (Benralizumab)
  • Ilumya™ (Tildrakizumab)
  • Kevzara® (Sarilumab)
  • Motegrity® (prucalopride)
  • Nucala® (Mepolizumab)
  • Otezla® (Apremilast)
  • Tremfya® (Guselkumab)
  • Xeljanz® (Tofacitinib)

2. Patients who have the following conditions and have not taken the above medications during pregnancy.

  • Ankylosing Spondylitis
  • Asthma
  • Atopic Dermatitis
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Functional Constipation
  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
  • Multiple Sclerosis
