Betaseron Pregnancy Registry
Betaseron Pregnancy Registry
This is a prospective, observational, registration and follow-up study of women exposed to
 Betaseron® at the time of conception (i.e., any time from the first day of the last menstrual
 period) and/or during pregnancy. The Betaseron® Pregnancy Registry is designed to determine
 whether there is an increased risk or a pattern of birth defects in the offspring of women
 exposed to Betaseron® at conception and during pregnancy compared to rates from women in the
 general US population. Secondarily, the Registry will examine rates of spontaneous abortions
 and other negative pregnancy outcomes in this population. This study will be conducted in the
 United States (US). The Betaseron® Pregnancy Registry is sponsored by Bayer HealthCare
 Pharmaceuticals and is managed by the Post Approval & Strategic Services group at INC
 Research, LLC. The scientific conduct and analysis of the Registry will be overseen by an
 Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (IDSMB) consisting of external specialists in
 teratology, epidemiology, maternal and fetal medicine, and neurology (external member details
 available upon request).
Because informed consent is required, the Registration process must be initiated by the
 patient. An HCP who contacts the Registry may request an authorization for release of medical
 information packet or have the eligible patient contact the Registry directly. Once an
 eligible subject provides consent and permission to obtain information from her HCP, the
 Registry will contact the obstetric HCP and obtain information on demographics, history of
 previous pregnancies, maternal risk factors, pregnancy outcome, and neonatal health. Data
 will be collected from the maternal HCP at enrollment, during the second trimester (around
 week 20), and at outcome. Data on live born infants will be collected from the pediatrician
 at 4 months of age. If a birth defect is reported, targeted follow-up may be conducted.

 NOTE: This study has previously been posted by Berlex, Inc. which has since been renamed to
 Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is the sponsor
 of this pregnancy registry.
