NIH Intramural Research Program's Pregnancy Registry Protocol for Subjects and Their Partners
Overview
Background: In 2018, the NIH intramural research program had almost 23,000 people taking part in active clinical research studies. Half of those people were female. More than a third were of child-bearing age. Researchers want to use data from this group to create a pregnancy registry. It will be used to collect data about pregnancy and birth outcomes related to unplanned exposure to research products. These products may include drugs, vaccines, treatments, and interventions. Objective: To collect data about pregnancies and births from people who took part in an NIH clinical trial and their partners who became pregnant while in the study or shortly after. Eligibility: People of any age and their partners who took part in an NIH clinical trial and became pregnant while in the study or within 1 year after. Design: Participants will be screened by phone. Their clinical trial history will be verified. Participants will be interviewed in person, by phone, or virtually. They will be asked about their health and their trial experience in relation to their pregnancy. They will give details about their pregnancy and baby (if appliable). They will be interviewed every 6 months for 1 year after the birth of their baby, as applicable. Data from both NIH and outside medical records will be used. Participants will give their doctor s name and contact details. They will provide a release for their records to be used. If needed, they will provide a release for their baby s records. Data will be coded and stored in a database on an in-house NIH secure server. Data may be used in future studies
Detailed description
Study Description:
This protocol will serve as a pregnancy registry to collect prospective and retrospective health information from current and former NIH intramural research participants, their partners and offspring that became pregnant during or within 1 year after participating in an NIH intramural clinical trials. The registry will provide supplemental data on outcomes of clinical trial interventions on pregnancy and delivery of offspring as this information is seldom available because pregnant women are often immediately excluded from study participation upon becoming pregnant and data from women who became pregnant and their offspring outcomes is not systematically or routinely collected and evaluated in the intramural program at the NIH. Partners of women who became pregnant within 1 year following research study participation in clinical trials will be invited to participate to evaluate if participation in clinical trials extends to those in close contact.
Objective:
To collect information about pregnancy and offspring outcomes from NIH intramural clinical trial participants and/or partners of current and former NIH research participants.
Study Population:
Adult participants:
Females that participated in NIH intramural clinical trials and became pregnant while on study or within 1 year after.
Male or female partners of women that participated in NIH intramural clinical trials that became pregnant while they were on study or within 1 year after.
Female partners of NIH intramural clinical trials participants that became pregnant while their partner was or within 1 year after their partner was on a study.
Offspring from birth to 12 months of age and born to:
Females that participated in NIH intramural clinical trials and became pregnant while on study or within 1 year after.
Male or female partners of women that participated in NIH intramural clinical trials that became pregnant while they were on study or within 1 year after.
Female partners of NIH intramural clinical trials participants that became pregnant while their partner was or within 1 year after their partner was on a study.
