(PROTECT)
What this study is about
The goal of this observational study is to learn about exposure to tralokinumab during pregnancy, as well as atopic dermatitis (AD) during pregnancy.
View original scientific description
The goal of this observational study is to learn about exposure to tralokinumab during pregnancy, as well as atopic dermatitis (AD) during pregnancy. The main question the study aims to answer is whether pregnant people who have been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy experience any differences in pregnancy and infant outcomes compared to women with atopic dermatitis who have not been exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy. Participants are not required to take tralokinumab during the study. Participants will be asked to: * Complete 1-3 phone interviews during pregnancy and 1-2 phone interviews after delivery * Release medical records for pregnancy and for their child * Complete an online survey about their baby's development at 4 months and 12 months of age * May be asked to have a study doctor examine their child All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.
Interventions
DRUG
Tralokinumab
This is a prospective observational cohort study. There is no treatment allocation. Participants that have been exposed to tralokinumab before enrollment into the study will be enrolled.
Primary outcome measures
Prevalence of Major Structural Birth Defects
Time frame: Up to 1-year of age
Major structural defects is defined and classified using the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) coding manual that is used for the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) classification of major structural defects. All major structural defects will be adjudicated by the co-investigator on this study.
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Eligibility for the cohort study includes the following:
- Currently pregnant at the time of enrollment
- Reside in the US or Canada at the time of enrollment
- Verbal informed consent to participate OTIS Pregnancy Registry
- Current diagnosis of AD at the time of enrollment Cohort 1: Tralokinumab-Exposed Cohort
- Diagnosed with AD
- Exposure to tralokinumab for any number of days, at any dose, and at any time during pregnancy or within 16 weeks prior to the date of conception
- Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, dysmorphology exam (for the first 80 pregnancies resulting in live born infants), developmental screening, and release of medical records Cohort 2: AD Comparator I- Phototherapy or Systemic Treatment
- Diagnosed with AD
- Exposed to phototherapy and/or systemic therapy for the treatment of AD for any number of days, at any dose, and at any time within 5 half-lives prior to the date of conception or during pregnancy
- Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, dysmorphology exam (for the first 80 pregnancies resulting in live born infants), developmental screening, and release of medical records Cohort 3: AD Comparator II - With or Without Treatment
- Diagnosed with AD
- May or may not have received treatment for AD, but have not been exposed to any dose of phototherapy or systemic therapy for the treatment of AD within 5 half-lives prior to the estimated date of conception or any time during pregnancy.
- Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, dysmorphology exam (for the first 80 pregnancies resulting in live born infants), developmental screening, and release of medical records
Exclusion criteria
- Pregnant women meeting any of the following criteria will not be included in the cohort study: Cohort 1: Tralokinumab-Exposed Cohort
- Women who have enrolled in the tralokinumab cohort study with a previous pregnancy
- Exposure to any dose of methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil within 5 half-lives prior to the estimated date of conception or anytime during pregnancy
- Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e., the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)
- Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural birth defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect Cohort 2: AD Therapy Comparator I- Phototherapy or Systemic Treatment
- Pregnant women who have enrolled in the tralokinumab cohort study with a previous pregnancy
- Exposure to any dose of tralokinumab, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil within 5 half-lives prior to the estimated date of conception or anytime during pregnancy.
- Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e., the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)
- Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect Cohort 3: AD Therapy Comparator II - With or Without Treatment
- Pregnant women who have enrolled in the tralokinumab cohort study with a previous pregnancy
- Exposure to any dose of tralokinumab, methotrexate or mycophenolate mofetil within 5 half-lives prior to the estimated date of conception or anytime during pregnancy
- Exposure to any dose of phototherapy and/or systemic therapy for the treatment of AD within 5 half-lives prior to the estimated date of conception or during pregnancy
- Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e., the pregnancy has ended prior to enrollment)
- Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior to enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening or diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does not indicate a major structural defect Case-Series: Tralokinumab-Exposed Case Series Pregnancies with tralokinumab exposure that do not meet the exposed cohort (Cohort 1) criteria will be excluded from the cohort, but will be included in the Exposure Series. Women who are eligible for enrollment in the Exposure Series include, but are not limited to the following: exposed to tralokinumab during pregnancy for an indication other than AD, women who enrolled with a previous pregnancy in the cohort, and retrospective reports of a tralokinumab-exposed pregnancy after the outcome of pregnancy is known. With informed consent, data will be collected from those enrolled in the Exposure Series from maternal interviews and medical record review using the same protocol as the cohort study to the extent possible.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
