Could IBD medications during pregnancy shape a Child's development?
NCT ID NCT00904878
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows pregnant women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and their children for up to four years after birth. Researchers want to see whether the mother's disease activity or use of immunosuppressant or biologic medications affects pregnancy outcomes or the child's development. By comparing these children to those of mothers without IBD, the study aims to uncover any potential risks and help guide safer treatment decisions during pregnancy.
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
- This research could help doctors better understand how inflammatory bowel disease and its treatments during pregnancy might affect a child's development, potentially guiding safer medication choices for expectant mothers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it can show links but not prove cause and effect. Results may take years to emerge, and many factors beyond IBD could influence child development.
