Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:
Women meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from the cohort study:
Cohort 1: Kesimpta-Exposed Cohort
Women who have enrolled in the Kesimpta cohort study with a previous pregnancy
Women who have used Kesimpta for an indication other than a currently approvedindication
Women with exposure to any of the following medications within 5 half-lives (orpharmacodynamic effect when relevant) prior to conception:
Other anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody: same class as Kesimpta
S1P modulators: same class as Mayzent
Cladribine (Mavenclad): Based on the US label, animal studies indicate thatthere is positive evidence of teratogenicity for Cladribine
Teriflunomide (Aubagio): The teratogenecity of teriflunomide is unknown andcurrently under investigation.
New medications (marketed after 2021) indicated for the treatment of MS will beevaluated for inclusion/exclusion criteria as the study progresses.
Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancyhas ended prior to enrollment)
Results of diagnostic test(s) that are positive for a major structural defect priorto enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screeningor diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result doesnot indicate a major structural defect.
Cohort 2: Disease-Matched Comparison Cohort (Comparison Group 1)
Administered Kesimpta 166 days before the first day of LMP or anytime duringpregnancy
Women with exposure to any of the following medications within 5 half-lives (orpharmacodynamic effect when relevant) of conception:
Anti CD-20 monoclonal antibody
Cladribine (Mavenclad)
S1P modulators
Teriflunomide (Aubagio) New medications (marketed after 2021) indicated for thetreatment of MS will be evaluated for inclusion/exclusion criteria as the studyprogresses.

Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancyhas ended prior to enrollment)
Results of diagnostic test(s) that are positive for a major structural defect priorto enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screeningor diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result doesnot indicate a major structural defect.
Cohort 3: Healthy Comparison Cohort (Comparison Group 2): Only applicable to Kesimpta-OTIS sub-study
Administered Kesimpta 166 days before or Mayzent 4 days after the first day of LMPor anytime during pregnancy
Women who have a diagnosis of a MS
Women who have a current diagnosis of any autoimmune disease
Women who have first contact with the project after prenatal diagnosis of any majorstructural defect
Women treated with Mayzent or Kesimpta for non-MS indication
Retrospective enrollment after the outcome of pregnancy is known (i.e. the pregnancyhas ended prior to enrollment)
Results of diagnostic test(s) that are positive for a major structural defect priorto enrollment. However, women who have had any normal or abnormal prenatal screeningor diagnostic test prior to enrollment are eligible as long as the test result doesnot indicate a major structural defect.
