New study tracks safety of efgartigimod during pregnancy and breastfeeding
NCT ID NCT06299748
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows pregnant women who have taken efgartigimod for myasthenia gravis or CIDP, as well as women exposed only during breastfeeding. Researchers will monitor pregnancy outcomes and infant health, including birth defects, to better understand the drug's safety. The goal is to gather real-world data to guide treatment decisions for these conditions during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Efgartigimod
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could provide crucial safety data to help doctors and patients make informed decisions about using efgartigimod during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational safety study, not a treatment trial. It does not test whether efgartigimod works, and results may take years to gather. The study is relatively small and may not detect rare risks.
