About this study

Information on pregnant women undergoing non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) at one of the Obstetrix Medical Groups Outpatient Centers between January 2012 and June 2014 will be retrospectively gathered and an analysis of the impact and prevalence of NIPT. This will be compared to a control group of pregnant women in those same practices undergoing prenatal testing during the months of January 2010-July 2010.

Read the detailed description

Information regarding the frequency of non-invasive testing (NIPT), the impact of screening on the need for and frequency of invasive testing, and the indications for testing are important for the clinicians in this country to not only understand the impact that this testing has had but also to plan for allocation of personnel and resources in their prenatal testing units, as well as many other more subtle changes including describing changes to referring clinicians and patients and projecting financial impacts. Information on pregnant women undergoing NIPT at one of the Obstetrix Medical Groups Outpatient Centers between January 2012 and June 2014 will be retrospectively gathered and compared to a control group of pregnant women in those same practices undergoing invasive prenatal diagnostic testing for fetal karyotype (IDTFK) during the months of January 2010-July 2010. An analysis of the impact of NIPT will be done.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
IDTFK Group Post NIPT - (January 2012-June 2014)Pregnant women who present to participating centers between January 2012-June 2014, after the release of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), who are undergoing invasive prenatal diagnostic testing for fetal karyotype (IDTFK).
Receives: Other: non-invasive prenatal testing
IDTFK Group pre-NIPT (January 2010-July 2010)A control group of pregnant women, prior to the release of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), who present to participating centers between January 2010-June 2010 and are undergoing invasive prenatal diagnostic testing for fetal karyotype (IDTFK).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Patient Undergoing IDTFK Before (Control) and After (Test) NIPT Testing Came to Market

    Total Number of patient undergoing invasive diagnostic testing for fetal karyotype (IDTFK) before (control group = Jan - July 2010) and after (test group=Jan 2012-June 2014) NIPT testing came to market

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Frequency of Positive Tests for Abnormal Karyotype Before and After the Adoption of NIPT Testing.

    Will determine if frequency of positive tests for abnormal karyotypes between the control period and the study period where different.

    Measured: 4 years

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aneuploidy, run by Obstetrix Medical Group at 7 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 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record lists 7 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jun 2019). 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?

Number of Patient Undergoing IDTFK Before (Control) and After (Test) NIPT Testing Came to Market (time frame: 4 years). 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 19 Jun 2019.
