What this trial studies

This study investigates the pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in women diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) across multiple centers in the United States. It focuses on the effects of medication use and disease activity during pregnancy, specifically among those taking biologics and immunosuppressants. The study aims to gather data over a period of up to 18 years from birth to better understand the implications of IBD on pregnancy outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are pregnant women with a confirmed diagnosis of inflammatory bowel disease who are currently taking immunosuppressants or biologic therapies.

Not a fit: Patients who are younger than 18 years old or those with confirmed multiple gestation will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights that improve pregnancy management and outcomes for women with inflammatory bowel disease.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored pregnancy outcomes in women with IBD, suggesting that this area of research is important and has the potential for meaningful findings.
