Trial summary

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAMs) are theorized to be growing immature lung tissue. Administration of maternal steroids in the mid-trimester may stop the growth or decrease the size of the CCAM, thus increasing normal lung tissue and improving survival in fetuses with large CCAMs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Prenatal Steroids for Treatment of Prenatally Diagnosed CCAMs

Congenital cystic adenomatoid malformations (CCAMs) are theorized to be growing immature lung tissue. Administration of maternal steroids in the mid-trimester may stop the growth or decrease the size of the CCAM, thus increasing normal lung tissue and improving survival in fetuses with large CCAMs. This is a prospective, blinded, randomized trial comparing administration of a single course of antenatal steroids (Betamethasone) to control (i.e., placebo). The primary outcome variable will be incidence of hydrops. One month postnatal survival and relative size of the CCAM as determined by CCAM volume:head circumference ratio (CVR) between treatment/no treatment groups will be secondary outcome variables. Change in size of CCAM will be serially followed for both groups with individual growth curves being plotted prenatally and these will be compared with pathology weigh and volume to evaluate treatment effect. Other prenatal data collected will include: incidence of polyhydramnios, incidence of premature rupture of membranes, incidence of material complications. We will also compare mode of delivery, postnatal respiratory compromise, need for resection in the first week of life, and occurrence of complications during newborn administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Betamethasone in people with Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation, run by University of California, San Francisco at 3 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Mar 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Hydrops Fetalis (time frame: Delivery, up to approximately 20 weeks post-enrollment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00670956, which also lists 11 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2015.
