TLDR
Available data do not indicate any teratogenic signals in patients treated with teriflunomide.
Abstract
Introduction Teriflunomide, indicated for the treatment of relapsing–remitting multiple sclerosis, is contraindicated in pregnancy based on signs of developmental toxicity in the offspring of rats and rabbits; developmental toxicity has also been observed in preclinical studies of other disease-modifying therapies. Despite the requirement to use reliable contraception in clinical trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of teriflunomide, a number of pregnancies have been reported. This work reports pregnancy outcomes in teriflunomide clinical trials.
