717 The Vedolizumab Pregnancy Exposure Registry: An OTIS Pregnancy Study Update
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Vedolizumab is a gut-selective immunoglobulin (Ig) G1 monoclonal antibody that binds to α4β7 integrin; it is approved for the treatment of moderately to severely active Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) in the U.S. and elsewhere. Published studies on the effect of vedolizumab during human pregnancy are limited. Data from the ongoing Vedolizumab Pregnancy Exposure Registry (NCT02678052) in the U.S. and Canada have been collected by the MotherToBaby Pregnancy Studies conducted by the Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS). This prospective observational cohort study intends to enroll and analyze the outcomes of 100 vedolizumab-exposed participants compared to 100 disease-matched (DM) comparison and 100 healthy comparison (HC) participants. This abstract describes progress of the study through March 1, 2019. METHODS: Pregnant women treated with vedolizumab for UC or CD for at least some part of the first trimester were enrolled in the vedolizumab-exposed group. Pregnant women with no exposure to vedolizumab were enrolled in a DM comparison group. Pregnant women with no exposure to any biologic during pregnancy and not diagnosed with an autoimmune disease or any other disease as defined by the OTIS Research Center were enrolled in a HC group. Pregnancy exposure and outcome data were collected from telephone interviews and medical records. The Short Quality of Life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) was administered to women with CD or UC at enrollment and 32 weeks' gestation. Follow-up of live born children included a dysmorphological exam, pediatric records review and developmental screening at one year of age. RESULTS: Between December 2015 and March 2019, outcomes were collected for 223 women, 53 in the vedolizumab group, 88 in the DM group, and 82 in the HC group. Preliminary descriptive data are shown in Table 1. No major structural birth defects were reported in the vedolizumab group, compared to 5 (5.7%) in the DM group, and 4 (5.3%) in the HC group. There was no evidence of a pattern of minor structural defects in the vedolizumab group. CONCLUSION: Updated data indicate pregnant women treated with vedolizumab in at least the 1st trimester have similar birth outcomes to disease-matched and healthy comparison women. The Vedolizumab Pregnancy Exposure Registry is ongoing with formal statistical analysis to be performed when the study is completed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
