Summary

PREGMPOXCO study addresses the escalating Mpox virus (MPXV) infections among pregnant women in South Kivu, DRC following a novel MPXV sub-lineage, predominantly transmitted through heterosexual contact, stressing critical gaps in our understanding of MPXV's impact on pregnant populations. To better understand this altered transmission pattern of MPXV and its impact on this vulnerable population, PREGMPOX will employ both passive and active surveillance techniques to methodologically capture MPXV incidence among pregnant women over two years, integrating data from routine antenatal care and targeted community outreach to timely assess the MPXV's effects on maternal and neonatal health. In sentinel study sites in hot spot areas, the incidence of mpox among pregnant women will be investigated and potential transmission routes determined. MPXV(+) pregnant women will be asked to participate in a cohort study where they will be followed until delivery to document pregnancy outcomes (e.g.: miscarriage, stillbirths, preterm deliveries, neonatal mpox), maternal immune response, virus abundance and pathological changes in the placenta. This will help to determine specific risk factors and modes and frequencies of vertical transmission to the unborn, and generate a list of clinical and immunological predictors for adverse outcomes for pregnant women and neonates. Data on MVA-BN exposure will also be captured to report on its real world effectiveness. As a prerequisite to evaluate the safety of the MVA-BN vaccine and tecovirimat treatment in pregnant women according to the new DRC guidelines, we will establish a comprehensive register of adverse pregnancy outcomes, using a pharmacovigilance model to monitor and analyse adverse events following immunization and treatment. The results of our multidisciplinary studies will be crucial for developing guidelines and recommendations to manage mpox more effectively during pregnancy, and for potentially influencing global health policies.
