Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary Based on its mechanism of action, Alhemo may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.1 )] . There are no available data on Alhemo use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with Alhemo. Although there are no data on concizumab-mtci, monoclonal antibodies can be actively transported across the placenta, and concizumab-mtci may cause fetal harm. It is unknown whether Alhemo can affect reproductive capacity. Alhemo should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit for the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. The estimated background risk of birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of major birth defect and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively.
