Maggie Little, BPhil, PhD Director, Kennedy Institute of Ethics Clinical research with pregnant women: historical context & ethical considerations Maggie Little, BPhil, PhD Director, Kennedy Institute of Ethics

Background Women in general underrepresented in research studies in the early 1990s 1993 NIH Revitalization Act Women are now more than half of all research participants (though sex- specific outcomes still need more attention) But research with pregnant women still lags far behind 3rd bullet fly in third

Disease burden in pregnancy In the US, approximately 4 million women give birth each year Many face medical conditions: Hypertension (5%; 190,000) Diabetes (4%; 150,000) Psychiatric disorders (~15%; 500,000) Lupus, cancer, et cetera Globally, approximately 130 million women give birth each year Many face medication conditions: HIV (~16% in Southern Africa) Malaria (30 million at risk globally) Active TB (216,500 globally) Emerging epidemics, et cetera

“Pregnant women as drug orphans” (Scaffidi, Mol, and Keelan, 2017) 98% of drug treatments approved by the U.S. FDA since 2000 have insufficient data to determine teratogenic risk 75% of drugs approved since 2000 do not have human pregnancy data

Why is this evidence gap a problem?

1. Efficacy Pregnant women need effective prevention and treatment Pregnancy can change PK/PD and dosing Example: glyburide

2. Fetal safety Pregnant women need preventives and treatments that are safe for use during pregnancy Some drugs are problematic for fetal health: teratogens, low birthweight, et cetera Example: ACE inhibitors during first trimester of pregnancy

3. Reticence The absence of evidence can lead to: Reluctance to use needed medication Reliance on older or less effective treatments

4. Justice Justice for the class of pregnant women and their offspring Research Clinical Risk

4. Justice Justice for individuals Fair access to trials involving the “prospect of direct benefit” Example: Zika

Endorsement for responsible research with pregnant women Pan American Health Organization American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Council for international Organizations of Medical Sciences 21st Century Cures Act 1 at a time

Research with pregnant women: allowed? YES!

Subpart B 2001 revision of HHS 45 CFR 46: - “Pregnant women or fetuses may be involved in research if all of the following conditions are met”: Background evidence on risks If prospect of direct benefit, reasonable ratio of risks to benefits If no prospect of direct benefit to either woman or fetus, risks to fetus capped at “minimal”
