MS drug safety in pregnancy under scrutiny: new study tracks birth outcomes
NCT ID NCT05688436
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study observes over 1,100 pregnant women with multiple sclerosis to see if taking the drug diroximel fumarate (VUMERITY) affects their babies' health. Researchers will compare birth defects, miscarriages, preterm births, and stillbirths among women who took DRF, other MS drugs, or no MS drugs during pregnancy. No treatments are changed—only medical records are reviewed.
