About this study

Official title: Multicentric Prospective Study to Screen Inborn Errors of Metabolism in Non-immune Hydrops Fetalis by Massively Parallel Sequencing

A fetal hydrops, also called a fetal anasarca, is the buildup of fluid in the serosa and / or fetal subcutaneous tissue. The diagnosis is made by ultrasound, possibly from the first trimester of pregnancy.

The etiologies of hydrops can be immune or non-immune. The historically classic immune causes are linked to fetal-maternal alloimmunizations in erythrocyte blood groups. The implementation of systematic prevention of these anti rhesus immunizations since the 1970s has significantly reduced the incidence of immune hydrops Non-immune hydrops (NIH) now represent 90% of fetal hydrops. Known causes of NIH can be classified in several ways depending on the mechanism or organ involved.

The prognosis for NIH is closely linked to the cause. Fetal anemia due to maternal-fetal infections can heal spontaneously or give rise to in utero transfusions. Cardiac rhythm abnormalities are accessible to medical treatment. Chylothorax compressions may benefit from in utero drainage, but chromosomal or metabolic causes cannot benefit from antenatal care. The term of pregnancy in which the hydrops is discovered also has an impact on survival, which however remains poor.

In France, certain pathologies can be considered as particularly serious without the possibility of treatment and give rise to a request for medical termination of pregnancy. This possibility is subject to acceptance by two practitioners who are members of a multidisciplinary prenatal diagnostic center (CPDPN). This preliminary multidisciplinary reflection participates in the development of prenatal counseling with the greatest precision in diagnostic hypotheses. This prenatal advice is essential for a couple on the decision to make a pregnancy in progress but also for future pregnancies, given the 25% risk of recurrence due to the autosomal recessive mode of transmission.

Thus the current screening strategy for inherited metabolic diseases on amniotic fluid is fragmented. The resulting subdiagnosis explains the objective of the study of using the new high throughput sequencing techniques (NGS) in this indication. This approach should make it possible to reduce the number of cases classified as idiopathic, to allow the parents concerned to receive suitable genetic counseling with a view to new pregnancies, and to refine the knowledge of the prenatal epidemiology of these pathologies.

    Amniotic liquid of each selected patients will be tested by both technic to describe and detect etiological information. Each patient will be tested using the current procedure with a defined panel of genes as well as with the NGS procedure. The results of both procedures will be compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of fetuses for which a genetic anomaly responsible for antenatal revelation Non Immun Hydrops by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis

    Proportion of fetuses for which a genetic anomaly responsible for antenatal revelation Non Immun Hydrops can be detected by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis of the gene panel incriminated in inherited metabolic malformation compared to the proportion of fetuses for which a genetic anomaly has been identified by the technique current standard biochemical.

    Measured: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of percentage of etiology detected between the NGS technique and the biochemical technique.

    The percentage of the following etiology of interest (Cardiovascular abnormalities, Chromosomal abnormalities, Haematological abnormalities, infections, Thoracic anomalies, Twin-to-twin transfusion syndromes, Uro-Nephrological Anomalies, Abdominal anomalies, Lymphatic dysplasia, Fetal or placental tumors, osteochondrodysplasias. syndromic, Hereditary Metabolism Diseases) will be assessed and compared between the 2 methods.

    Measured: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea

  2. time to return the results in days of NGS techniques

    The delay of answer will be defined by the time to return the results by analysis of the panel of genes tested compared to the current standard biochemical technique, measured between the date of completion of the prenatal diagnosis procedure and the date of communication of the results to the parents.

    Measured: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea

  3. number of technical failure of these new tools of NGS techniques

    Number of technical failures: unable to extract DNA, too little DNA, failed sequencing), and analysis of these failures will be measured and compared to the current standard biochemical technique.

    Measured: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea

  4. Number of cases where the interpretation of the genetic variants did not lead to a conclusion

    by the number of cases where the interpretation of the genetic variants highlighted did not allow concluding on the imputability for the clinical picture will be assessed of these new tools of NGS techniques

    Measured: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea

  5. number of week of amenorrhea of gestation

    number of week of amenorrhea of gestation will be measured

    Measured: immediately after the child birth

  6. issue of the pregnancy

    The percentage of death in utero, the percentage of medical termination of pregnancy, the percentage of neonatal survival and the percentage of pregnancy continued until the end will be calculated

    Measured: immediately after the child birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NON-IMMUNE HYDROPS FETALIS diagnosis in people with Non-Immune Hydrops Fetalis, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 17 sites 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 11 inclusion and 4 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 8 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 sites 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?

Proportion of fetuses for which a genetic anomaly responsible for antenatal revelation Non Immun Hydrops by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis (time frame: during pregnancy after the 14th week of amenorrhea). 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 8 Nov 2024.
