NCT ID NCT01246765

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This registry enrolls 5,000 pregnant women aged 18-45 who take psychiatric medications like antidepressants or ADHD drugs. Researchers track infant health for one year after birth to see if these medications increase the risk of major birth defects. The goal is to provide better safety data for a group where information is currently limited.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to

If successful, this registry could provide clearer safety information about psychiatric medication use during pregnancy, helping doctors and patients make informed decisions.

What could go wrong

This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may take years and could still leave unanswered questions.
