About this study

Preterm birth (PTB), preeclampsia (PE), fetal growth restriction (FGR) and intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD) constitutes the main causes of perinatal morbidity and mortality and are called "Great Obstetrical Syndromes". Algorithms to predict those outcomes have been developed by combining maternal characteristics (history, age, BMI, blood pressure), biochemical (sFlt-1, β-hCG, PlGF, AFP) and sonographic (uterine artery Doppler, 3D of placenta, cervical length, nasal bone measurement, nuchal translucency) markers. Another prospective observational study ("PREDICTION study" NCT 02189148) is also ongoing, which aims to validate those algorithms at the first trimester of pregnancy.

Recent data suggest that repeating the same measurements later in pregnancy could improve the detection rates, allowing closer monitoring of high-risk patients and potential therapeutics under investigation. The current study (PREDICTION2) is an ancillary study of PREDICTION and aims at validating the use of these markers in a combined iterative manner in the prediction of preeclampsia and other obstetrical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this study is to validate the predictive values of biophysical (maternal blood pressure); biochemical (sFlt-1, β-hCG, PlGF, and AFP) and ultrasonographic (cervical length, Doppler, 3D evaluation of the placenta, 3D nasal bone) biomarkers at several timepoints for the prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes including preterm birth, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction and intra-uterine fetal death.

These biomarkers will be evaluated at 14-16 weeks, 20-24 weeks and 30-34 weeks. Those specific gestational ages have been selected because they correspond to the typical clinical/hospital visits for prenatal blood and/or ultrasound screening.

What is being measured

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

  1. preeclampsia

    1. de novo hypertension with systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure >90 mmHg on two occasions at least four hours apart, after 20 weeks of pregnancy, and 2) associated with proteinuria ≥300 mg/24 h or at least '2 +' protein on urine dipstick or an adverse conditions

    Measured: >20 weeks of preeclampsia

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Fetal growth restriction

    defined as a birth weight below the 10th centile (or below the 3rd centile for severe FGR) of Canadian reference growth charts.

    Measured: neonatal weight at birth (on the day of birth)

  2. Preterm birth

    defined as delivery <37 weeks of gestation.

    Measured: between 20-37 weeks of gestation

  3. Intra uterine fetal death

    fetal death during pregnancy

    Measured: from the 20th week of gestation to the moment of birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preeclampsia and Preterm Birth, run by Emmanuel Bujold at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 15 Mar 2022. 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 Canada. 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?

preeclampsia (time frame: >20 weeks of preeclampsia). 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 15 Mar 2022.
