Pregnancy Registry, Infants, Serum/Milk Analysis (PRISMA): Pregnancy Registry for Women With Chronic Conditions
University of California, San Francisco
Summary
PRISMA, is a pregnancy registry study, focused on comprehensively collecting information about pregnancy in women with chronic neurological conditions from across the United States and internationally. Depending on their specific condition (MS, CIS, NMOSD, or other) and their specific treatment, participants will be asked to contribute to different aspects of the study. (1) The biosamples will be blood, breast milk, infant stool, maternal stool and vaginal swab samples, collected at specific time points. (2) The online surveys will be collected at specific time points. All study activities will be discussed with participants upon enrollment. By collecting this information, the investigators hope to gain deeper insights into the relationship between pregnancy, the neurological condition, and maternal and infant health. For example, one of the sub-studies focuses on breast milk collection for women planning postpartum treatment with Ocrevus, Rituxan, Briumvi or Kesimpta. This study is fully remote and all sample collection is optional, so participants can choose which types of samples they wish to provide. For blood draws, participants can schedule a home visit through ExamOne, making participation even more convenient. The investigators aim to enroll women with chronic neurological conditions who are planning pregnancy, currently pregnant, or within one year postpartum.
Description
The aim of this project is to develop a repository of samples for women who are pregnant and have chronic conditions, including demyelinating diseases -- either multiple sclerosis (MS), clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) or NMOSD (neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders), chronic inflammation --- inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), lupus, myasthenia gravis (MG), primary headache disorders, or other chronic neurological conditions. Please note that the investigators refer to "MS" in the rest of the application. This repository will include: 1. Maternal Outcomes (disea…
