Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 50 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who have provided written informed consent
  • Patients covered by a Health Insurance scheme
  • Age > 18 years
  • Normal pregnancy
  • or pre-eclampsia defined according to the following classical criteria: (i) de novo hypertension defined by arterial blood pressure of at least 140 mm Hg (systolic) or at least 90 mm Hg (diastolic) confirmed by at least two measurements separated by at least 4-6 h, occurring after the 20th week of gestation in a women known beforehand to have a normal blood pressure, (ii) proteinuria defined by urinary excretion of at least 300 mg of protein per 24 h. If 24-hour urine is not available, proteinuria is defined as a concentration of urinary protein of 300 mg/L or more (or >1 + on the urinary dip) in at least two samples of urine taken randomly, but at an interval of at least 4-6 h [7]. Pre-eclampsia is defined as severe if: persistent systolic BP > 170 mm Hg and/or diastolic BP > 110 mm Hg, and/or diuresis < 30 ml/hour, and/or at least 2 of the following signs (headache, phosphenes, epigastric pain or vomiting, pyramidal-type patellar reflexes, papilledema, hepatic pain, thrombopenia < 100x106 /l, ALT AST > 70 UI/l and or hemolysis manifesting as haptoglobin < 0.06 g/l, or a fall in LDH or the presence of schistocytes, the latter three signs define the HELLP syndrome) and/or seizures.
  • Term> 26 SA.

Who cannot join

  • Refusal to provide consent
  • Context of patent infection.
  • Premature rupture of the fetal membranes.
  • preexisting or gestational diabetes.
  • Vasculoplacental diseases other than pre-eclampsia: placental abruption or infarction, intrauterine growth retardation of in utero fetal death not occurring in a context of pre-eclampsia.
  • Chronic or gestational AHT not meeting the criteria for pre-eclampsia.
  • Twin/multiple pregnancies

About this study

The aim of this study is to explore a mechanism that could potentially explain why women with a pregnancy complicated by pre-eclampsia are described as having an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life.

If the hypothesis of this study turns out to be true, that is to say that women with pre-eclampsia have a higher level of oxidative stress than women with a normal pregnancy and that this difference persists after the delivery (6 months), a controlled randomized interventional study aiming to evaluate either therapeutic supplementation with antioxidant vitamins (Vit C and E) or modifications in diet could be envisaged.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing blood sample in people with Pregnancy Complicated by Pre-eclampsia. and Normal Pregnancy, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

quantification of radical species (time frame: baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 25 Jul 2013.
