NCT ID NCT06053749
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at how many women with multiple sclerosis (MS) use the drug interferon-beta during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy in Finland and Sweden. Researchers want to know if there are enough cases to study whether the drug affects pregnancy outcomes like birth defects or preterm birth. The study uses existing health records from 1996 to 2022 and does not involve any new treatments or direct contact with participants.
