The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted this study within the Sentinel System to assess the prevalence of Mayzent (siponimod) exposure among females of childbearing age, both overall and during pregnancy. This evaluation was initiated to investigate the feasibility of continuing two ongoing pregnancy postmarketing requirements (PMRs).
Using data from six Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD) Data Partners with mother-infant linkage capabilities, spanning April 15, 2019, to July 31, 2024, the study identified 772 females of childbearing age who were exposed to siponimod and met the baseline enrollment requirements. This represented 0.16 patients per 10,000 eligible members and accounted for 43.7% of the 1,766 total female siponimod users across all age groups. Among 3,626,656 pregnancy episodes recorded during the study period, fewer than 11 were exposed to siponimod.
These findings supported the FDA’s decision to release PMRs 3591-4 and 3591-5 and instead require a descriptive pregnancy safety study as a new PMR.
