Pregnancy outcome after cabergoline treatment in early weeks of gestation.

We collected information on 61 pregnancies in 50 women treated with cabergoline. These pregnancies resulted in 12 (19.7%) early terminations (five induced abortions, six spontaneous abortions, one hydatidiform mole) and 49 (80.3%) live births. In one case, malformations were suspected by a gynecologist based on ultrasound at 12 gestational weeks and the pregnancy was terminated; additional information was not available. There was one case of trisomy 18. The frequency of spontaneous and induced abortions and major congenital malformations was comparable with rates in the general population. The data did not indicate any potential adverse effect of the drug on pregnancy. The data from this study in combination with previous reports can exclude a congenital malformation risk greater than 10% associated with pregnancy exposure to cabergoline.

[A complete clinical trial register is already a reality in the paediatric field].

Clinical trials have a fundamental role in promoting an evidence based use of drugs in adults and in children. However, it is often difficult to identify the few paediatric studies carried out and to thus implement knowledge derived from them. Furthermore, studies that are stopped prematurely or that have insignificant or negative results often remain unpublished, leading to duplication of effort by researchers, waste of resources and concealment of potentially toxic risks. The European Community decided to support the development of a European register of clinical trials in children as part of the Fifth Framework Thematic Programme "Quality of Life" in 2002. The project DEC-net is coordinated by the Laboratory of Mother and Child Health of the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmaceutical Research in Milan and currently involves members of four countries; France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. It is unique in that it is the first population oriented clinical trial register. Such a register represents a useful source for planning new studies, promoting communications and collaborations between researchers, facilitating patient access and recruitment into trials, preventing trial duplication and inappropriate funding and identifying the therapeutic needs of children that remain neglected. It will also allow for active monitoring of new or evolved knowledge of drug therapies.
