However, because pregnant and lactating women are traditionally excluded from clinical trials, and because premarketing animal studies do not necessarily predict the experience of humans, little information is available about the safety of most prescription medications during pregnancy and lactation at the time they are marketed. Nevertheless, many women inadvertently use medications early in gestation before realizing they are pregnant, and many maternal conditions require treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding to safeguard the health of both mother and infant. Currently, the United States does not does not conduct comprehensive monitoring for pregnancy or infant outcomes related to medication exposures. To try to address these concerns, a number of pharmaceutical manufacturers have established pregnancy drug registries to monitor the effects of use of selected medications during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes and fetal and infant health. In some instances, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has required postmarketing monitoring of pregnancy outcomes after medication E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1 49382 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 186 / Monday, September 28, 2009 / Notices exposure as a condition of new drug approval. However, registries such as these monitor only a small number of medications, and many suffer from methodologic limitations including high loss to follow-up rates and incomplete or nonspecific outcome information. Teratology Information Services (TIS) utilize trained specialists to provide free phone consultation, risk assessment, and counseling about exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding—including medications—to women and healthcare providers. Altogether, they respond to approximately 70,000–100,000 inquiries each year in the United States and Canada. Because they have direct contact with pregnant and breastfeeding women, TIS are in a unique position to monitor the effects of medication exposures during pregnancy and lactation. The objective of this project is to assess the quality of information on (1) pregnancy outcomes (e.g., live birth, stillbirth, premature birth, low birth weight, etc.) and (2) maternal and infant health following medication use during pregnancy and lactation that can be obtained from maternal interviews conducted by TIS in the U.S. The project will assess the willingness of pregnant and breastfeeding women who contact a TIS about medication exposure to participate in and complete a follow-up study; whether these women are similar in demographic characteristics to the U.S. population of child-bearing age women; the specificity and completeness of the information obtained from such a study about pregnancy outcomes, and maternal and infant health; and the amount of time required to conduct the follow-up. Within a continuous six-month period, three individual TIS will recruit all women who contact their service (up to a maximum of 250 enrollees per TIS) who have used any prescription or overthe-counter medication, vitamin, herbal, or other dietary supplement during pregnancy or while breastfeeding to participate in a follow-up study. Informed consent to participate will be obtained from each woman by telephone. For each pregnant woman who agrees to participate, the TIS will then conduct 4 telephone interviews: (1) At enrollment; (2) during the third trimester of pregnancy; (3) approximately one month after delivery; and (4) when the infant is about 3 months old. For each breastfeeding woman who agrees to participate, the TIS will then conduct 3 telephone interviews: (1) At enrollment; (2) approximately one month after enrollment; and (3) 3 months after enrollment, if the woman is still taking medication and still breastfeeding. The interviews will assess maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy, and maternal and infant health at delivery, during the newborn and early infancy period, and while breastfeeding, and correlate these outcomes with medication exposure during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized burden is 516 hours.

Proposed Project

    Evaluating the Quality of Interview Data Collected by Teratology 
Information Services About Pregnancy Outcomes, Maternal and Infant 
Health, Following Medication Use During Pregnancy and Lactation--New--
National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities 
(NCBDDD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    This data collection is based on the following components of the 
Public Health Service Act: (1) Act 42 USC 241, Section 301, which 
authorizes ``research, investigations, experiments, demonstrations, and 
studies relating to the causes, diagnosis, treatment, control, and 
prevention of physical and mental diseases and impairments of man.'' 
(2) 42 USC 247b-4, Section 317 C, which authorizes the activities of 
the National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities. 
This section was created by Public Law 106-310, also known as ``the 
Children's Health Act of 2000.'' This portion of the code has also been 
amended by Public Law 108-154, which is also known as the ``Birth 
Defects and Developmental Disabilities Prevention Act of 2003''.
    The use of a number of medications during pregnancy is known to be 
associated with serious adverse effects in children. However, because 
pregnant and lactating women are traditionally excluded from clinical 
trials, and because premarketing animal studies do not necessarily 
predict the experience of humans, little information is available about 
the safety of most prescription medications during pregnancy and 
lactation at the time they are marketed. Nevertheless, many women 
inadvertently use medications early in gestation before realizing they 
are pregnant, and many maternal conditions require treatment during 
pregnancy and breastfeeding to safeguard the health of both mother and 
infant. Currently, the United States does not does not conduct 
comprehensive monitoring for pregnancy or infant outcomes related to 
medication exposures. To try to address these concerns, a number of 
pharmaceutical manufacturers have established pregnancy drug registries 
to monitor the effects of use of selected medications during pregnancy 
on pregnancy outcomes and fetal and infant health. In some instances,

exposure as a condition of new drug approval. However, registries such 
as these monitor only a small number of medications, and many suffer 
from methodologic limitations including high loss to follow-up rates 
and incomplete or nonspecific outcome information.
    Teratology Information Services (TIS) utilize trained specialists 
to provide free phone consultation, risk assessment, and counseling 
about exposures during pregnancy and breastfeeding--including 
medications--to women and healthcare providers. Altogether, they 
respond to approximately 70,000-100,000 inquiries each year in the 
United States and Canada. Because they have direct contact with 
pregnant and breastfeeding women, TIS are in a unique position to 
monitor the effects of medication exposures during pregnancy and 
lactation. The objective of this project is to assess the quality of 
information on (1) pregnancy outcomes (e.g., live birth, stillbirth, 
premature birth, low birth weight, etc.) and (2) maternal and infant 
health following medication use during pregnancy and lactation that can 
be obtained from maternal interviews conducted by TIS in the U.S. The 
project will assess the willingness of pregnant and breastfeeding women 
who contact a TIS about medication exposure to participate in and 
complete a follow-up study; whether these women are similar in 
demographic characteristics to the U.S. population of child-bearing age 
women; the specificity and completeness of the information obtained 
from such a study about pregnancy outcomes, and maternal and infant 
health; and the amount of time required to conduct the follow-up.
    Within a continuous six-month period, three individual TIS will 
recruit all women who contact their service (up to a maximum of 250 
enrollees per TIS) who have used any prescription or over-the-counter 
medication, vitamin, herbal, or other dietary supplement during 
pregnancy or while breastfeeding to participate in a follow-up study. 
Informed consent to participate will be obtained from each woman by 
telephone. For each pregnant woman who agrees to participate, the TIS 
will then conduct 4 telephone interviews: (1) At enrollment; (2) during 
the third trimester of pregnancy; (3) approximately one month after 
delivery; and (4) when the infant is about 3 months old. For each 
breastfeeding woman who agrees to participate, the TIS will then 
conduct 3 telephone interviews: (1) At enrollment; (2) approximately 
one month after enrollment; and (3) 3 months after enrollment, if the 
woman is still taking medication and still breastfeeding. The 
interviews will assess maternal and fetal health throughout pregnancy, 
and maternal and infant health at delivery, during the newborn and 
early infancy period, and while breastfeeding, and correlate these 
outcomes with medication exposure during pregnancy and while 
breastfeeding. There is no cost to respondents other than their time. 
The total estimated annualized burden is 516 hours.
