Trial summary

Preeclamptic women with and without chronic periodontitis were recruited for the study. Subgingival plaque samples and placental tissue samples(postpartum) were obtained from the participants for the microbial analysis(bacteria, viruses) and MIR155 levels and comparison was done among groups.

About this study

Official title: Evidence Linking the Role of Viruses, Bacteria and Placental MIR155 in Chronic Periodontitis and Preeclampsia- A Genetic Microbiological Study

Preeclamptic women with and without chronic periodontitis were recruited for the study. Subgingival plaque samples and placental tissue samples(postpartum) were obtained from the participants for the microbial analysis(bacteria, viruses) and MIR155 levels and comparison was done among groups. this study was designed in order to evaluate the role of periodontal microorganisms in preeclampsia and to find compare the MIR155 levels among participants, so as to check its importance as a biomarker for inflammatory disease like preeclampsia.

Read the detailed description

Four hundred forty five pregnant women, aged 18-35 yrs were selected and were divided into four groups. Controls- 145 systemically and periodontally healthy, Group A-100 Systemically healthy women with chronic periodontitis, Group B- 100 Preeclamptic women with chronic periodontitis, Group C-100 Preeclamptic women without chronic periodontitis. Age, BMI, Socioeconomic status and periodontal parameters such as plaque index(PI), bleeding on probing(BOP), probing pocket dept(PPD), clinical attachment level(CAL) were recorded. Subgingival plaque and placental tissues (postpartum) were collected and assessed for periodontal pathogens such as Tannerella forsythia(Tf), Treponema denticola(Td), Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg), Prevotella intermedia(Pi), Fusobacterium nucleatum(Fn). Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV), Ebstein Barr Virus(EBV), Human Cytomegalovirus(HCMV). microRNA155 levels were also assessed and compared between the groups.

    Subgingival plaque was collected with sterile curette and placental tissue sample(postpartum with surgical blade with the help of gynecologist. all the samples were subjected to RTPCR for analysis of microorganisms likeTannerella forsythia(Tf), Treponema denticola(Td), Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg), Prevotella intermedia(Pi), Fusobacterium nucleatum(Fn). Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV), Ebstein Barr Virus(EBV), Human Cytomegalovirus(HCMV). and MIR155 levels were also estimated

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 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 25 Feb 2020. 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 India. 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?

Viruses, Bacteria and placental mir155 in Chronic Periodontitis and Preeclampsia (time frame: it took approximately 15 minutes to collect samples for DNA extraction.). 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 NCT04277390, 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 25 Feb 2020.
