available studies with use of adalimumab during pregnancy do not reliably establish an association between adalimumab and major birth defects. clinical data are available from the organization of teratology information specialists (otis)/mothertobaby pregnancy registry in pregnant women with rheumatoid arthritis (ra) or crohn's disease (cd) treated with adalimumab. registry results showed a rate of 10% for major birth defects with first trimester use of adalimumab in pregnant women with ra or cd and a rate of 7.5% for major birth defects in the disease-matched comparison cohort. the lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects (see data). adalimumab is actively transferred across the placenta during the third trimester of pregnancy and may affect immune response in the in utero exposed infant (see clinical considerations). in an embryo-fetal perinatal development study conducted in cynomolgus monkeys, no fetal harm or malformations were observed with intravenous administration of adalimumab during organogenesis and later in gestation, at doses that produced exposures up to approximately 373 times the maximum recommended human dose (mrhd) of 40 mg subcutaneous without methotrexate (see data). the estimated background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations 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 defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively. clinical considerations disease-associated maternal and embryo/fetal risk published data suggest that the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in women with ra or inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is associated with increased disease activity. adverse pregnancy outcomes include preterm delivery (before 37 weeks of gestation), low birth weight (less than 2500 g) infants, and small for gestational age at birth. fetal/neonatal adverse reactions monoclonal antibodies are increasingly transported across the placenta as pregnancy progresses, with the largest amount transferred during the third trimester (see data) . risks and benefits should be considered prior to administering live or live-attenuated vaccines to infants exposed to adalimumab products in utero [see use in specific populations (8.4)] . data human data a prospective cohort pregnancy exposure registry conducted by otis/mothertobaby in the u.s. and canada between 2004 and 2016 compared the risk of major birth defects in live-born infants of 221 women (69 ra, 152 cd) treated with adalimumab during the first trimester and 106 women (74 ra, 32 cd) not treated with adalimumab. the proportion of major birth defects among live-born infants in the adalimumab-treated and untreated cohorts was 10% (8.7% ra, 10.5% cd) and 7.5% (6.8% ra, 9.4% cd), respectively. the lack of pattern of major birth defects is reassuring and differences between exposure groups may have impacted the occurrence of birth defects. this study cannot reliably establish whether there is an association between adalimumab and major birth defects because of methodological limitations of the registry, including small sample size, the voluntary nature of the study, and the non-randomized design. in an independent clinical study conducted in ten pregnant women with ibd treated with adalimumab, adalimumab concentrations were measured in maternal serum as well as in cord blood (n=10) and infant serum (n=8) on the day of birth. the last dose of adalimumab was given between 1 and 56 days prior to delivery. adalimumab concentrations were 0.16–19.7 mcg/ml in cord blood, 4.28–17.7 mcg/ml in infant serum, and 0–16.1 mcg/ml in maternal serum. in all but one case, the cord blood concentration of adalimumab was higher than the maternal serum concentration, suggesting adalimumab actively crosses the placenta. in addition, one infant had serum concentrations at each of the following: 6 weeks (1.94 mcg/ml), 7 weeks (1.31 mcg/ml), 8 weeks (0.93 mcg/ml), and 11 weeks (0.53 mcg/ml), suggesting adalimumab can be detected in the serum of infants exposed in utero for at least 3 months from birth. animal data in an embryo-fetal perinatal development study, pregnant cynomolgus monkeys received adalimumab from gestation days 20 to 97 at doses that produced exposures up to 373 times that achieved with the mrhd without methotrexate (on an auc basis with maternal iv doses up to 100 mg/kg/week). adalimumab did not elicit harm to the fetuses or malformations. risk summary limited data from case reports in the published literature describe the presence of adalimumab in human milk at infant doses of 0.1% to 1% of the maternal serum concentration. published data suggest that the systemic exposure to a breastfed infant is expected to be low because adalimumab is a large molecule and is degraded in the gastrointestinal tract. however, the effects of local exposure in the gastrointestinal tract are unknown. there are no reports of adverse effects of adalimumab products on the breastfed infant and no effects on milk production. the developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for abrilada and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from abrilada or from the underlying maternal condition. the safety and effectiveness of abrilada have been established for: pediatric assessments for abrilada demonstrate that abrilada is safe and effective for pediatric patients in indications for which humira (adalimumab) is approved. however, abrilada is not approved for such indications due to marketing exclusivity for humira (adalimumab). due to their inhibition of tnfα, adalimumab products administered during pregnancy could affect immune response in the in utero -exposed newborn and infant. data from eight infants exposed to adalimumab in utero suggest adalimumab crosses the placenta [see use in specific populations (8.1)] . the clinical significance of elevated adalimumab concentrations in infants is unknown. the safety of administering live or live-attenuated vaccines in exposed infants is unknown. risks and benefits should be considered prior to vaccinating (live or live-attenuated) exposed infants. postmarketing cases of lymphoma, including hepatosplenic t-cell lymphoma and other malignancies, some fatal, have been reported among children, adolescents, and young adults who received treatment with tnf-blockers including adalimumab products [see warnings and precautions (5.2)] . juvenile idiopathic arthritis in study jia-i, adalimumab was shown to reduce signs and symptoms of active polyarticular jia in patients 4 to 17 years of age [see clinical studies (14.2)] . in study jia-ii, the safety profile for patients 2 to <4 years of age was similar to the safety profile for patients 4 to 17 years of age with polyarticular jia [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . adalimumab products have not been studied in patients with polyarticular jia less than 2 years of age or in patients with a weight below 10 kg. the safety of adalimumab in patients in the polyarticular jia trials was generally similar to that observed in adults with certain exceptions [see adverse reactions (6.1)] . the safety and effectiveness of adalimumab products have not been established in pediatric patients with jia less than 2 years of age. pediatric crohn's disease the safety and effectiveness of adalimumab products for the treatment of moderately to severely active crohn's disease have been established in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older. use of adalimumab products for this indication is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies in adults with additional data from a randomized, double-blind, 52-week clinical study of two dose concentrations of adalimumab in 192 pediatric patients (6 years to 17 years of age) [see adverse reactions (6.1), clinical pharmacology (12.2, 12.3), clinical studies (14.6)] . the adverse reaction profile in patients 6 years to 17 years of age was similar to adults. the safety and effectiveness of adalimumab products have not been established in pediatric patients with crohn's disease less than 6 years of age. a total of 519 ra patients 65 years of age and older, including 107 patients 75 years of age and older, received adalimumab in clinical studies ra-i through iv. no overall difference in effectiveness was observed between these patients and younger patients. the frequency of serious infection and malignancy among adalimumab-treated patients 65 years of age and older was higher than for those less than 65 years of age. consider the benefits and risks of abrilada in patients 65 years of age and older. in patients treated with abrilada, closely monitor for the development of infection or malignancy [see warnings and precautions (5.1, 5.2)] . abrilada (ah brill-ah-dah) (adalimumab-afzb) 40 mg/0.8 ml single-dose prefilled pen injection, for subcutaneous
