An alternative approach is to prescribe Certolizumab during pregnancy or in women with a pregnancy wish. Certolizumab is a pegylated antibody against TNF-alpha. Since it lacks an Fc-tail it is not transported across the placenta and only trace amounts can be detected in the newborn. In the Erasmus MC a protocol was recently developed to standardize care for patients (already pregnant or with a pregnancy wish) that in theory might benefit from treatment with anti-TNF therapy. This protocol is being evaluated in the Pre-CARA study.
