Post-Marketing Study of Prucalopride Safety In Pregnancy
United States127 participantsStarted 2021-05-21
Plain-language summary
This study collects information on pregnant women with ongoing constipation who took prucalopride and those who did not take prucalopride. The main aim of the study is to learn if any medical problems in pregnant women or their infants might be related to taking prucalopride during pregnancy.
Participants are not required to take prucalopride during the study. The study is non-interventional. Women and their infants are followed during pregnancy and for 1 year after pregnancy to collect information on maternal, pregnancy, and infant outcomes.
During the study, participants will be asked questions during 3 telephone interviews; 2 during pregnancy and 1 just after their expected delivery date. Participants who took or are taking prucalopride will be asked more detailed questions about this during these interviews. All information is collected remotely, and no visits to the study site are required.
Also, all participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire about their baby when their baby is about 1 year old.

Inclusion Criteria:
Cohort 1: Prucalopride-Exposed (MOTEGRITY, RESOTRAN) Cohort:
* Pregnant women.
* Exposure to MOTEGRITY or RESOTRAN (generic forms of prucalopride not allowed) for the treatment of chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) or irritable bowel syndrome-constipation (IBS-C), for any number of days, at any dose, and at any time from the 1st day of the LMP up to and including the 12th week after the first day of the LMP. If the date of LMP is unclear, or if a first-trimester ultrasound has been done and the estimated date of conception is more than one week discrepant from the menstrual period calculation, the first-trimester ultrasound-derived date will be used to calculate a date for LMP and conception.
* Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, and release of medical records.
Cohort 2: Disease-Matched Comparison Cohort:
* Pregnant women.
* Diagnosed with CIC or IBS-C; frequency matched to the exposed group by disease indication, with the indication validated by medical records when possible.
* Agree to the conditions and requirements of the study including the interview schedule, and release of medical records.
Exclusion Criteria:
Cohort 1: Prucalopride-Exposed (MOTEGRITY, RESOTRAN) Cohort
* Women who have first contact with the project after prenatal diagnosis of any major structural defect.
* Women who have enrolled in the prucalopride cohort study with a previous pregnancy (women may only enroll once in the…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
