Pregnancy
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of etanercept when used in the first trimester of pregnancy with respect to major structural birth defects of newborns. This is an observational study only -- no investigational product is used.
Eligible subjects will be pregnant women residing in the United States or Canada who have had any exposure to etanercept for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), juvenile RA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsoA) or psoriasis (PsO) at any time during the first trimester of pregnancy. This is defined as the period between the first day of the last menstrual period (i.e., within two weeks of conception) up to and including the 12th week after the first day of the last menstrual period.
The research site is in San Diego.
