What this trial studies

This observational study aims to compare maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes between women with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis who used ruxolitinib cream during pregnancy and those who did not. The study will enroll women in the US, allowing for both prospective and retrospective enrollment based on their pregnancy outcomes. Participants will be monitored for the frequency of major congenital malformations among infants born to these women. The goal is to gather data that can inform the safety of ruxolitinib cream in pregnant patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are pregnant women aged 15 to 50 years with a confirmed diagnosis of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.

Not a fit: Patients who are not pregnant or those with severe atopic dermatitis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide critical insights into the safety of ruxolitinib cream for treating atopic dermatitis during pregnancy.

How similar studies have performed: While there may be limited data on the specific use of ruxolitinib cream during pregnancy, similar observational studies have provided valuable safety data for other treatments in pregnant populations.

  * Ruxolitinib cream cohort: consisting of pregnancies in women with AD and exposure to at least 1 application of ruxolitinib cream during the pregnancy period.
  * Nonexposed cohort: consisting of pregnancies in women with AD but not exposed to ruxolitinib cream during the pregnancy period
* Reporter (eg, participant, maternal HCP) contact information available to allow for follow-up.
* Permission to contact the participant's and her infant's HCPs.

Exclusion Criteria:

* If no longer pregnant and pregnancy outcome occurred more than 12 months prior to enrollment.
* Current treatment or treatment within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) before enrollment with another investigational medication or current enrollment in another investigational drug study.
