8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no available data on ZELSUVMI use in pregnant women to evaluate for a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of berdazimer to pregnant rats and rabbits increased malformations in the presence of severe maternal toxicity ( see Data ). The clinical relevance of this finding is unknown given the bioavailability of berdazimer following oral administration is significantly higher than topical application.
