  Purpose

The Prevention Agent Pregnancy Exposure Registry, also known as EMBRACE (Evaluation of Maternal and Baby Outcome Registry After Chemoprophylactic Exposure) is a prospective observational cohort investigation of exposures to study agents under investigation for HIV prevention. The study population will consist of female participants who are identified as becoming pregnant during microbicide or PrEP trials, or who have had planned exposures in pregnancy safety studies as well as their babies resulting from these pregnancies. This study will only enroll babies who have not yet reached their 1 year birth date.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pregnancy loss as evidenced by negative urine pregnancy test, clinical confirmation of intrauteine demise, or ultrasound evidence of pregnancy loss at any gestation. [ Time Frame: Duration of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Major malformation (structural abnormality with surgical, medical, or cosmetic importance) identified before one year of life [ Time Frame: Duration of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Adverse pregnancy outcomes, including but not limited to ectopic pregnancy, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, and postpartum hemorrhage [ Time Frame: Duration of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Growth parameters in the first year of life (birth, 1, 6, and 12 months) [ Time Frame: Duration of Study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Detailed Description:

The Prevention Agent Pregnancy Exposure Registry, also known as EMBRACE (Evaluation of Maternal and Baby Outcome Registry After Chemoprophylactic Exposure) is a prospective observational cohort study of maternal exposures to investigational HIV prevention agents. Approximately 500 pregnant participants and 300 live infants will be offered enrollment. The study population will consist of current or recent female participants identified as becoming pregnant during microbicide or PrEP trials, or who have had planned exposures in pregnancy safety studies. This study will also include infants resulting from those pregnancies. This protocol will monitor for adverse pregnancy outcomes, evaluate growth parameters of infants during the first year of life, and provide a cohort of infants not exposed to active study agents during pregnancy. In an exploratory manner, it will monitor for select risks of prevention agents identified during preclinical reproductive toxicology studies by trimester of exposure, evaluate the prevalence and persistence of HIV drug resistance mutations in plasma among HIV-infected infants, and compare the results of developmental screening at select time points in the first year of life among participating infants.

  Eligibility

Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

The study population will consist of female participants who become or became pregnant during HIV prevention agent trials, or who have or had planned exposures in pregnancy safety studies, and the infants resulting from those pregnancies. Mother participants must still be pregnant, or have had a pregnancy outcome diagnosis less than one year before screening/enrollment, and infant participants must be less than one year old. The study may include HIV-uninfected and -infected participants.

Criteria

  2. During participation in a parent protocol, has/had a known confirmed pregnancy, meeting at least one of the following sets of criteria in A or B:

    • A: Two consecutive monthly study visits with positive pregnancy tests
    • B: One or more of the following assessments:

      • Auscultation of fetal heart tones
      • Positive pregnancy test confirmed by clinic staff in the presence of clinically confirmed enlarged uterus
      • Positive pregnancy test confirmed by clinic staff in the presence of missed menses by participant report
      • Clinical assessment of fetal movement
      • Demonstration of pregnancy by ultrasound
  3. Able and willing to provide adequate locator information, as defined in site SOPs

INFANT COHORT

  1. Has written informed consent provided by parent(s)/guardian to take part in the study in a manner consistent with local standards, site Institutional Review Board (IRB) guidance and the US Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
  2. Born to EMBRACE participant mother from pregnancy concurrent with participation in parent study

Exclusion Criteria:

MOTHER COHORT

  1. Has any condition that in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would complicate interpretation of study outcome data, make participation in the study unsafe, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives
  2. Pregnancy outcome was diagnosed greater than one year ago

INFANT COHORT

  1. Has any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator or designee, would complicate interpretation of study outcome data, make participation in the study unsafe, or otherwise interfere with achieving the study objectives
  2. Has reached 1 year birth date
