Exposure to certain medications can disrupt processes of fetal development, including brain development, leading to a continuum of neurodevelopmental difficulties. Recognizing the deficiency of neurodevelopmental investigations within pregnancy pharmacovigilance, an international Neurodevelopmental Expert Working Group was convened to achieve consensus regarding the core neurodevelopmental outcomes, optimization of methodological approaches and barriers to conducting pregnancy pharmacovigilance studies with neurodevelopmental outcomes. A modified Delphi study was undertaken based on stakeholder and expert input. Stakeholders (patient, pharmaceutical, academic and regulatory) were invited to define topics, pertaining to neurodevelopmental investigations in medication-exposed pregnancies. Experts were identified for their experience regarding neurodevelopmental outcomes following medicinal, substances of misuse or environmental exposures . Two questionnaire rounds and a virtual discussion meeting were used to explore expert opinion on the topics identified by the stakeholders. Twenty-five experts, from 13 countries and professionally diverse backgrounds took part in the development of 11 recommendations. The recommendations focus on the importance of neurodevelopment as a core feature of pregnancy pharmacovigilance, the timing of study initiation and a core set of distinct but interrelated neurodevelopmental skills or diagnoses which require investigation. Studies should start in infancy with an extended period of investigation into adolescence, with more frequent sampling during rapid periods of development. Additionally, recommendations are made regarding optimal approach to neurodevelopmental outcome measurement, comparator groups, exposure factors, a core set of confounding and mediating variables, attrition, reporting of results and the required improvements in funding for potential later emerging effects. Different study designs will be required depending on the specific neurodevelopmental outcome type under investigation and whether the medicine in question is newly approved or already in widespread use. An improved focus on neurodevelopmental outcomes is required within pregnancy pharmacovigilance. These expert recommendations should be met across a complementary set of studies which converge to form a comprehensive set of evidence regarding neurodevelopmental outcomes in pregnancy pharmacovigilance.
接触某些药物会扰乱胎儿发育过程,包括大脑发育,导致一系列神经发育问题。认识到孕期药物警戒中神经发育调查的不足,一个国际神经发育专家工作组召开会议,就核心神经发育结果、方法学方法的优化以及开展具有神经发育结果的孕期药物警戒研究的障碍达成共识。基于利益相关者和专家的意见,开展了一项改良的德尔菲研究。邀请利益相关者(患者、制药公司、学术界和监管机构)确定与药物暴露妊娠中的神经发育调查相关的主题。根据其在药物、滥用物质或环境暴露后神经发育结果方面的经验确定专家。通过两轮问卷调查和一次虚拟讨论会来探讨专家对利益相关者确定的主题的意见。来自13个国家、专业背景各异的25位专家参与制定了11项建议。这些建议聚焦于神经发育作为孕期药物警戒核心特征的重要性、研究开始的时间,以及一组需要调查的独特但相互关联的神经发育技能或诊断。研究应在婴儿期开始,并延长至青春期进行调查,在快速发育阶段增加采样频率。此外,还就神经发育结果测量的最佳方法、对照组、暴露因素、一组核心的混杂和中介变量、失访、结果报告以及为潜在的后期出现的影响所需的资金改善提出了建议。根据所研究的具体神经发育结果类型以及所涉药物是新批准的还是已广泛使用的,将需要不同的研究设计。孕期药物警戒需要更加关注神经发育结果。这些专家建议应通过一系列互补的研究来实现,这些研究汇聚起来形成一套关于孕期药物警戒中神经发育结果的全面证据。
