PG - 31-40 LID - 10.1002/ajh.26743 [doi] AB - Treatment for immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) in pregnancy is hampered by the lack of fetal safety evidence of maternally-administered medications. The Pregnancy Surveillance Program (PSP) collected patient information from 2017-2020 for pregnancy, birth outcomes, and adverse events (AEs) for 186 women exposed to romiplostim from 20 days before pregnancy to the end of pregnancy. Timing of exposure was available in 128 women. Seventy-one mothers (38%) had prepregnancy exposure to romiplostim; intrapartum exposure was known for the first (for many mothers when they discovered their pregnancy), second, and third trimesters for 74 (40%), 22 (12%), and 44 (24%) mothers, respectively, with 15 mothers exposed during >1 trimester. Among the 86 mothers with known pregnancy outcomes, 46 (53%) had at least one pregnancy-related serious AE (SAE); approximately 2/3 of SAEs were due to underlying ITP. Of 92 mothers with known birth outcomes, 60 (65%) had a normal pregnancy and 16 (17%) had complications, with both categories including term and preterm births; there were 12 (14%) spontaneous miscarriages/stillbirths, 3 (3%) ectopic pregnancies, and 1 (1%) molar pregnancy. Most abnormal births resulted from abnormal pregnancies. There were five neonatal/postnatal AEs of note: inguinal hernia, cytomegalovirus infection, trisomy 8 (third trimester single-dose romiplostim exposure), single umbilical artery without known anomalies, and development of autism at age 2 years. Seven of 12 infants with neonatal thrombocytopenia had resolution of thrombocytopenia before discharge; all 12 were discharged. Review of pregnancies in women exposed to romiplostim did not reveal any specific safety concerns for mothers, fetuses, or infants. CI - (c) 2022 The Authors.
