To report pregnancy outcomes and disease activity (DA) in women with MS, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSDs), and other neuroimmunologic diseases (ONID) after treatment with rituximab (RTX)/ocrelizumab (OCR) 12 months before or during pregnancy.
Data were collected in the German MS and pregnancy registry and centers from the Neuromyelitis Optica Study Group. Sixty-eight known outcomes of 88 pregnancies from 81 women (64 MS, 10 NMOSD, and 7 ONID) were included and stratified in 3 exposure groups: >6M-group = RTX/OCR >6 but ≤12 months before the last menstrual period (LMP) (n = 8); <6M group = RTX/OCR <6 months before the LMP (n = 47); preg group = RTX/OCR after the LMP (n = 13).
Pregnancy outcomes were similar between groups, but significantly more preterm births (9.8% vs 45%) occurred after exposure during pregnancy. Overall, 2 major congenital abnormalities (3.3%), both in the preg group, were observed. Three women had severe infections during pregnancy. All women with MS (35) and 12/13 women with NMOSD, RTX/OCR exposure before the LMP and known pregnancy outcomes after gestational week 22 were relapse free during pregnancy. Five of 29 (17.2%) women with relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) and 1 of 12 (8.3%) with NMOSD and at least 6 months postpartum follow-up experienced a relapse postpartum. Duration of RTX/OCR and early retreatment but not detection of B-cells were possible predictors for postpartum relapses in patients with RRMS/NMOSD.
Although RTX/OCR might be an interesting option for women with RRMS/NMOSD who plan to become pregnant to control DA, more data on pregnancy outcomes and rare risks are needed.
报告在怀孕前 12 个月或怀孕期间接受利妥昔单抗(RTX)/奥瑞珠单抗(OCR)治疗的多发性硬化症(MS)、视神经脊髓炎谱系障碍(NMOSD)和其他神经免疫疾病(ONID)女性的妊娠结局和疾病活动(DA)。
数据来自德国 MS 和妊娠登记处和视神经脊髓炎研究组的中心。纳入了 81 名女性 88 例妊娠的 68 例已知结局,并分为 3 个暴露组:>6M 组=RTX/OCR 在末次月经(LMP)前 6 至 12 个月(n=8);<6M 组=RTX/OCR 在 LMP 前 6 个月内(n=47);妊娠组=RTX/OCR 在 LMP 后(n=13)。
各组间妊娠结局相似,但妊娠期间暴露后早产发生率明显更高(9.8% vs 45%)。总体上,观察到 2 例主要先天畸形(3.3%),均发生在妊娠组。3 名女性在怀孕期间发生严重感染。所有 MS 女性(35 例)和已知妊娠结局后达到妊娠 22 周的 13 例 NMOSD 女性中,有 12 例在妊娠期间未复发。5 例复发缓解型多发性硬化症(RRMS)女性(5/29,17.2%)和 1 例 NMOSD 女性(1/12,8.3%)在产后至少 6 个月随访时发生产后复发。RRMS/NMOSD 患者产后复发的可能预测因素为 RTX/OCR 的持续时间、早期再治疗,但与 B 细胞检测无关。
虽然 RTX/OCR 可能是计划怀孕以控制 DA 的 RRMS/NMOSD 女性的一个有趣选择,但仍需要更多关于妊娠结局和罕见风险的数据。
