Background

A 2011 study using U.S. data from 1976-2008
reported that about 90% of women take at least
one medication during pregnancy

Over the last 30 years


70% take at least one prescription medication

First trimester use of prescription medications has
increased more than 60%

First trimester use of 4 or more medications tripled

Use of 4 or more medications anytime during
pregnancy more than doubled

Origins
Under sections 502 and 505 of the Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act, the FDA has responsibility for ensuring
that prescription drug and biological products have
labeling that summarizes scientific information
concerning their safe and effective use
 In 1979, FDA issued labeling for use during
pregnancy, labor and delivery, and nursing to be
found in the “Precautions” section of drug labeling
 Rule revised January 2006

Increased use of prescription medications during
pregnancy has reinforced need for better labeling
Overview of Physician
Labeling Rule

Rationale Behind FDA
Pregnancy Labeling Changes
Pregnancy subsection:

Commonly referred to as the “Physician Labeling
Rule”

Subsections on labeling for pregnancy, labor and
delivery, and nursing mothers moved from
“Precautions” to “Use in Specific Populations”
portion of drug labeling
Overview of Physician
Labeling Rule

Nursing mothers subsection:

Drug’s teratogenic effects

Excretion of drug in human milk

Effects on reproduction and pregnancy

Effects on nursing infant

Available data regarding later growth, development,
and functional maturation of the child

Description of pertinent adverse effects observed in
animal offspring

A, B, C, D, or X categories

Standard statements depending on whether drug
was known to be excreted in human milk and
whether it was associated with serious adverse
reactions
Labor and Delivery subsection:

Effect of drug on mother and fetus

Duration of labor and delivery

Effect of drug on later growth, development, and
functional maturation of the child

Sections were only present if drug was absorbed
systemically

Review of Pregnancy
Categories
A
• No risk in controlled
human studies
B
• No risk in other studies
C
• Risk not ruled out
D
• Positive evidence of risk
X
• Contraindicated in Pregnancy
Development of Proposed
Changes

May 2008: the FDA proposed a revision of the
pregnancy and lactation labeling on prescription
drug and biological products

Part of a broad effort to improve content and
formatting of prescription drug labeling

Goal was to provide information for healthcare
professionals to make an educated decision

Eliminate pregnancy categories
Development of Proposed
Changes

FDA received feedback on the 1979 regulations

In response to feedback, FDA held public hearings,
conducted focus groups, and convened two advisory
committees

Feedback provided:

Labeling lacked clarity

Failed to provide meaningful clinical information about
drug exposure

Did not address potential maternal and fetal
consequences of discontinuing needed maternal drug
therapy during pregnancy

Pregnancy categories often misinterpreted
Misinterpretation of
Pregnancy Categories

Clinicians and patients often believed that
Category A represents lowest risk whereas
Category X represents highest risk

Drugs in the same category have the same level of
risk or that data supporting classification is similar

Assumption that drugs within the same category
share the same extent of risk for congenital
disorders


Mental Models Research
Classifications based on levels of evidence
65%-70% of all prescription drugs are assigned to
Pregnancy Category C but have drastically different
supporting evidence and risks
Research Findings

FDA contracted third-party to conduct a Mental
Models Research study in 2009

Findings consistent with feedback the FDA
received

Established risk analysis using structured
interviews to evaluate decision-making process

Showed pregnancy categories relied on almost to
exclusion of other information found in labeling

Purpose: to understand how healthcare providers
used FDA prescribing information to influence
treatment decisions for pregnant and lactating
women with chronic conditions

Providers often relied on secondary sources to find
the pregnancy category rather than product
labeling

Suggestions from interviewees were provided

54 healthcare providers interviewed

Improved prescribing information

Simplifying information presented

Centralizing relevant information

Making information on label clinically relevant

Final Rule
Pregnancy and Lactation
Labeling Final Rule
Overview of Section Changes
Pregnancy
Labor and
Delivery
Nursing Mothers
Pregnancy

FDA published the Pregnancy and Lactation
Labeling Rule on December 3, 2014

New labeling effective June 30, 2015

Labeling will remain under “Use in Specific
Populations” section of labeling for prescription
drug products

Replaces letter categories with detailed
subsections describing risks within real-world
context of caring for pregnant women or those
planning on getting pregnant

Draft guidance for industry also issued to help
manufacturers comply with new rule and format
requirements
Final Rule

3 subsections: “Pregnancy”, “Lactation”, and
“Females and Males of Reproductive Potential”

“Pregnancy” and “Lactation” categories will have
three subheadings
Lactation
Females and
Males of
Reproductive
Potential
Pregnancy Subheadings

Pregnancy Exposure Registry

Risk Summary

Clinical Considerations

Data

Risk Summary replaces the pregnancy categories


Risk Summary

Clinical Considerations

Data

Clinical Considerations and Data are required only
to extent of relevant information available
Pregnancy Exposure Registry required under
“Pregnancy” if a registry exists
Pregnancy Exposure Registry

Required under Pregnancy subsection if there is a
scientifically acceptable pregnancy exposure
registry for the drug

Requires contact information needed to enroll in
or obtain information about the registry

FDA is hoping that since this data will be easy
accessible, this will encourage participation in
registries, improving data collection in pregnant
women





Implementation

Along with the final Pregnancy and Lactation
Labeling Rule, the FDA issued a draft guidance

Application holders required to remove pregnancy
category designation by June 30, 2018

Intended to help manufacturers to develop and
revise professional labeling that meets the new
format requirements

Content and format changes required for drugs for
which an application was approved on or after
June 30, 2001

One in a series of guidances the FDA is developing
to assist applicants with content and format

FDA proposed phased-in implementation plan that
would stagger required dates for when labeling
with new pregnancy/lactation content must be
submitted to the FDA for approval

Others include adverse reactions, dosage and
administration, etc.

Exercise 1

Go to
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drug
satfda/ to search for FDA approved drug labels

Look up drug labeling for thalidomide (NDA
020785) and Yaz (NDA 021676, 2010 label)

Compare pregnancy information on each label

Category

Data supporting the category
Exercise 1
Thalidomide labeling
Exercise 1
Exercise 1
Thalidomide labeling
Labeling for Yaz
Exercise 1
Exercise 2

Both thalidomide and Yaz were both pregnancy
category X

Thalidomide is contraindicated in pregnancy
because it has shown to cause embryo-fetal harm,
death, and developmental malformations with
documented cases and studies in animals

Yaz was considered pregnancy category X because
the designation is based on the fact that it lacked
efficacy in preventing pregnancy (its FDA labeled
indication) in a woman already pregnant

Lack of human data

Findings of congenital disorders in animal studies

Go to
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drug
satfda/ to search for FDA approved drug labels

Look up Entresto (NDA 207620)

Read through the “Pregnancy” section of the
labeling information only

Would you recommend this medication to a
pregnant patient?
