Study summary

This is an observational, prospective Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 milligram [mg]) Pregnancy Registry Study. The aim of this study is to compare the maternal, foetal, and infant outcomes of pregnant women who are exposed to Wegovy during pregnancy for the treatment of obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbid condition with outcomes in an internal comparison cohort of pregnant women with obesity or overweight with at least one weight related comorbid condition at conception and who are not exposed to Wegovy or other glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) during pregnancy. Infant outcomes will be assessed throughout the infant's first year of life, with active data collection by the registry occurring at 4 and 12 months after delivery.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Infants with Major Congenital Malformation (MCM)

    Number of infants with MCM is defined as an abnormality of body structure or function that is present at birth; is of prenatal origin (that is, birth defect); has significant medical, social, or cosmetic consequences for the affected individual; and typically requires medical intervention.

    Time frame: From date of conception (DOC) to pregnancy outcome for foetal losses or 12 months of infant age for live births

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Infants with Minor Congenital Malformation

    Number of infants with minor congenital malformation is defined as an anomaly or abnormality of body structure that is present at birth, is of prenatal origin (that is, birth defect), poses no significant health problem in the neonatal period, and tends to have limited social or cosmetic consequences for the affected individual.

    Time frame: From DOC to pregnancy outcome for foetal losses or 12 months of infant age for live births

  2. Number of Pregnant Participants With Pre-eclampsia

    Number of pregnant participants with pre-eclampsia is defined as pregnant participants with high blood pressure and signs of liver or kidney damage occurring at greater than (\>) 20 gestational weeks through 6 weeks postpartum.

    Time frame: From 20 0/7 gestational weeks to 6 weeks

  3. Number of Pregnant Participants With Eclampsia

    Eclampsia is defined as seizures or coma in a woman with pre-eclampsia during pregnancy through 6 weeks postpartum.

    Time frame: From 20 0/7 gestational weeks to 6 weeks

  4. Number of Pregnant Participants Experiencing Spontaneous Abortion

    Number of pregnant participants experiencing spontaneous abortion is defined as an involuntary foetal loss or the expulsion of the products of conception occurring at less than (\<) 20 gestational weeks.

    Time frame: From date of conception to 19 6/7 gestational weeks

  5. Number of Pregnant Participants Experiencing Stillbirth

    Number of pregnant participants experiencing still birth is defined by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), an involuntary foetal loss occurring at greater than or equal to (\>=)20 gestational weeks or, if gestational age is unknown, a foetus weighing \>=350 gram.

    Time frame: From 20 0/7 gestational weeks to pregnancy outcome (week 40)

  6. Number of Pregnant Participants With Elective Termination

    Number of pregnant participants with elective termination is defined as a voluntary foetal loss or interruption of pregnancy that occurs for any reason, including but not limited to for the preservation of maternal health or due to foetal abnormalities.

    Time frame: From date of conception to pregnancy outcome (week 40)

  7. Number of Pregnant Participants With Preterm Delivery

    Preterm birth is defined as a live birth occurring at \<37 gestational weeks.

    Time frame: From date of conception to 37 gestational weeks (week 37)

  8. Number of Infants Experiencing Small for Gestational Age (SGA) Birth

    Number of infants experiencing small for gestational age is defined as weight at birth in \<10th percentile for sex and gestational age using standard growth charts for full and preterm live born infants.

    Time frame: At delivery of live birth

  9. Number of Infants With Postnatal Growth Deficiency

    Number of infants with postnatal growth deficiency is defined as infants with weight, length, or head circumference in \<10th percentile for sex and age using standard growth charts.

    Time frame: At 4 and 12 months of infant age

  10. Number of infants with Developmental Delay

    Infant development delay is defined as infants with failure to achieve the developmental milestones for age, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    Time frame: At 4 and 12 months of infant age
