About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Prognostic Value of Clinical, Imaging, Immunological and Virological Markers in the Neonatal Period for the Development of Neurosensorial Sequelae at 1 Year in Children Infected by Cytomegalovirus in Utero.
The main objective of this study is to validate , in the neonatal period, a prognostic score for the development of neurosensorineural sequelae at 1 year and at 2 years in neonates infected in utero by cytomegalovirus. This score will be based on clinical, imaging and biological criteria .
The second objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of this infection in France and to describe its epidemiology through the screening of 12,000 consecutive neonates.
Read the detailed description
Infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most frequent cause of congenital neurological handicap of infectious origin in industrialized countries. Around 10% of infected neonates have symptoms and more than 50% of those will develop long term neurological sequelae and sensorineural hearing loss. Among asymptomatic infected neonates 10 to 15% will ultimately develop hearing loss. To establish the prognosis of infected neonates remains difficult and the purpose of the study is to better define early prognosis factors The true burden of CMV congenital infection is unknown in France: the prevalence of the infection as well as the description of its epidemiology (proportion of symptomatic and asymptomatic cases, rate of long term sequelae, proportion of cases following primary or secondary maternal infections) are unknown.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Prognostic value of neonatal markers (clinical, imaging and biological) for the development of neurosensorial sequelae at 1 year of age
Assessment will include standardised clinical evaluation, cerebral ultrasound, cerebral MRI, audiometric tests, developmental tests, virological tests (viral load in blood and saliva) and immunological tests (cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4), cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8), Natural Killer (NK) and cytokines).
Measured: One year
Secondary outcomes (5)
to evaluate the prevalence of congenital CMV in France:
screening by CMV PCR in a saliva sample collected in delivery room will be proposed to all mothers with a live birth neonate born in the Necker or Poissy
Measured: At birth
Prognosis value of antenatal imaging
To compare neurodevelopmental and sensorineural sequelae at one year with the result of antenatal imaging (ultrasound and MRI)
Measured: one year
Prognostic value of the periodic measurement of the kinetics of viral load shedding
To evaluate the prognostic value of the kinetics of CMV viral load in blood and in saliva from birth to 1 year old for the occurrence of neurodevelopmental and sensorineural sequelae
Measured: One year
neurodevelopmental and sensorineural sequelae according to the type of maternal infectionsequelae
Compare the proportion of neurodevelopmental and sensorineural sequelae according to the type of maternal infection (primary or secondary).
Measured: One year
Prevalence and description of congenital CMV infection in 10,000 French neonates

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing detection of CMV in people with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 5 inclusion and 1 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 5 Sep 2025. 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?
Prognostic value of neonatal markers (clinical, imaging and biological) for the development of neurosensorial sequelae at 1 year of age (time frame: One year). 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 NCT01923636, which also lists 4 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 5 Sep 2025.
