Study Summary

This study collects information on pregnant women with ongoing constipation who took prucalopride and those who did not take prucalopride. The main aim of the study is to learn if any medical problems in pregnant women or their infants might be related to taking prucalopride during pregnancy.

Participants are not required to take prucalopride during the study. The study is non-interventional. Women and their infants are followed during pregnancy and for 1 year after pregnancy to collect information on maternal, pregnancy, and infant outcomes.

During the study, participants will be asked questions during 3 telephone interviews; 2 during pregnancy and 1 just after their expected delivery date. Participants who took or are taking prucalopride will be asked more detailed questions about this during these interviews. All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.

Also, all participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their baby when their baby is about 1 year old.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

Cohort 1: Prucalopride-Exposed (MOTEGRITY, RESOTRAN) Cohort:

  • Pregnant women.

  • Exposure to MOTEGRITY or RESOTRAN (generic forms of prucalopride not allowed) forthe treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) or irritable bowelsyndrome-constipation (IBS-C), for any number of days, at any dose, and at any timefrom the 1st day of the LMP up to and including the 12th week after the first day ofthe LMP. If the date of LMP is unclear, or if a first-trimester ultrasound has beendone and the estimated date of conception is more than one week discrepant from themenstrual period calculation, the first-trimester ultrasound-derived date will beused to calculate a date for LMP and conception.

  • Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interviewschedule, and release of medical records.

Cohort 2: Disease-Matched Comparison Cohort:

  • Pregnant women.

  • Diagnosed with CIC or IBS-C; frequency matched to the exposed group by diseaseindication, with the indication validated by medical records when possible.

  • Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interviewschedule, and release of medical records.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

Cohort 1: Prucalopride-Exposed (MOTEGRITY, RESOTRAN) Cohort

  • Women who have first contact with the project after prenatal diagnosis of any majorstructural defect.

  • Women who have enrolled in the prucalopride cohort study with a previous pregnancy (women may only enroll once in the Prucalopride Pregnancy Cohort Study).

  • Women who have used prucalopride for an indication other than CIC or IBS-C.

  • Women who do not have exposure in the first trimester of pregnancy.

  • Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancyhas ended prior to enrollment).

  • Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior toenrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening ordiagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does notindicate a major structural defect.

Cohort 2: Disease-Matched Comparison Cohort:

  • Women who have first contact with the project after prenatal diagnosis of any majorstructural defect.

  • Exposure to prucalopride (brand name or generic) anytime during the currentpregnancy; may or may not have taken another medication for their disease in thecurrent pregnancy.

  • Women who have enrolled in the prucalopride cohort study with a previous pregnancy (women may only enroll once in the Prucalopride Pregnancy Cohort Study).

  • Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancyhas ended prior to enrollment).

  • Results of a diagnostic test are positive for a major structural defect prior toenrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screening ordiagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result does notindicate a major structural defect.
