What this trial studies

This observational registry aims to compare pregnancy outcomes between women exposed to risankizumab and those not exposed, focusing on conditions like plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and Crohn's disease. Approximately 818 pregnant women will be enrolled, with half having been treated with risankizumab and the other half receiving different treatments. The study will track maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes during pregnancy and up to one year post-delivery. Participants will not receive risankizumab as part of this study.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include pregnant women diagnosed with plaque psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, Crohn's disease, or other conditions treated with risankizumab.

Not a fit: Patients who are not currently pregnant or those who have not been treated with risankizumab or comparable medications may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the safety and outcomes of pregnancies exposed to risankizumab, guiding treatment decisions for pregnant women with these conditions.

How similar studies have performed: While similar studies have been conducted, this specific comparison of risankizumab-exposed pregnancies is novel and has not been extensively tested.
