A Worldwide Pregnancy Safety Study to Assess Maternal, Fetal, and Infant Outcomes Following Exposure to Efgartigimod During Pregnancy and/or Breastfeeding.
What this study is about
This is a multi-country, forward-looking safety study of pregnant women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during pregnancy. Women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC only during breastfeeding will also be eligible to enroll.
View original scientific description
This is a multi-country, prospective safety study of pregnant women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during pregnancy. Women exposed to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC only during breastfeeding will also be eligible to enroll. Background rates of major congenital malformations (MCMs) will be obtained from populations within the same countries/regions as the countries/regions in which the efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC exposed pregnancies were reported.

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
- Women with exposure to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC any time within 25 days prior to conception or any time during pregnancy, or women with exposure to efgartigimod or efgartigimod PH20 SC during breastfeeding. The timeframe of 25 days prior to conception is calculated based on five times the efgartigimod half-life, which is 3 to 5 days.
- Written/verbal informed consent or eConsent (depending on country regulations) (for adolescents under the age of majority, written/verbal informed assent or eConsent by the pregnant minor (where applicable) and written/verbal informed consent or eConsent by the parent/legal guardian).

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.
