New Recruiting Trial: Observational Safety Study in Women With Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD) Exposed to UPLIZNA® During Pregnancy

Researchers are looking for pregnant women with NMOSD (a rare disease that affects the nerves in the eyes and spinal cord) who have taken or are taking a medicine called UPLIZNA to join a safety study. The study will track what happens to these women and their babies to make sure the medicine is safe during pregnancy. This information will help doctors understand whether UPLIZNA can be used safely by pregnant patients with NMOSD.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is recruiting pregnant women with NMOSD who have been exposed to UPLIZNA — currently there is limited safety data on this drug during pregnancy, so this study directly addresses a critical gap for women of childbearing age managing this serious neurological condition.

New Recruiting Trial: Prophylactic Transfusion In Pregnant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease

Researchers at Emory University are looking for pregnant women with sickle cell disease to join a study about blood transfusions. The study will test whether giving blood transfusions during pregnancy can help prevent serious complications for both the mother and baby. This is a Phase 4 trial, which means the treatment has already been tested before and researchers want to learn more about how well it works.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now actively recruiting pregnant women with sickle cell disease — participation could help prevent pregnancy complications like stroke, organ damage, and miscarriage that occur at higher rates in this population.
