Can MS drug vumerity be safe during pregnancy? a global registry seeks answers
NCT ID NCT05658497
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This registry study follows women with multiple sclerosis (MS) who become pregnant, comparing those who took the medication Vumerity (diroximel fumarate) with those who took other MS treatments or no treatment at all. The main goal is to estimate the risk of major birth defects in babies born to women exposed to Vumerity early in pregnancy. By tracking pregnancy outcomes, the study aims to provide better safety information for women with MS who are planning a family.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diroximel fumarate (Vumerity), an oral medication for multiple sclerosis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could provide clearer safety data on using Vumerity during pregnancy, helping women with MS and their doctors make more informed treatment decisions.
- What could go wrong
- As an observational registry, it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be influenced by underlying disease severity or other factors, and the study relies on voluntary reporting, which may introduce bias.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population will include pregnant female participants with MS who were exposed to DRF at any time from 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP up through any time during pregnancy and compared with pregnancies among women with MS who were exposed to DMF, women with MS who were exposed to other DMTs (e.g., Avonex and Tysabri Pregnancy Registries), women with MS who were unexposed to DMTs, and women without MS. Participants will be classified into 2 enrolment types, Prospective and Retrospective. Prospective registration:a report of a pregnancy enrolled prior to knowledge of the pregnancy outcome, including prior to the detection of a congenital malformation at prenatal testing. Women who enrol after any knowledge of the pregnancy outcome will be enrolled as retrospective cases but will not be included in the primary analysis, i.e.,pregnancies with a prenatal testing result indicative of any congenital malformation/pregnancies with known outcomes at time of initial report.

Key Inclusion Criteria: * Participant must have a diagnosis of MS * Documentation that the participant was one of the following: 1. exposed to DRF at any time from 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP (i.e., conception date) up through any time during pregnancy. (If exact exposure dates are unknown, the reporter must be able to specify or estimate trimester of exposure). 2. unexposed to any DMT during pregnancy, defined as having never received DMT therapy; discontinued treatment with DRF at least 1 day before 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP (i.e., conception date); or discontinued a non Registry-specified MS DMT more than 5 times its half-life prior to 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP (i.e., conception date) * Participants with knowledge of the outcome of the pregnancy (e.g., pregnancy loss or live birth) Key Exclusion Criteria: \- None NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion criteria may apply
