About this study

Mother with severe Iodine deficiency are more likely to have neonates with further poor mental development . In order to select population which could benefit from iodine supplementation, ioduria has been tested but cannot be routinely practised. Strong background data suggest that iodine status could be antenatally correlated with foetal thyroid volume. The aim of that study is to examine correlation between these two parameter in a population of 130 healthy pregnant women.

Read the detailed description

Iodine is an essential element in thyroid homeostasis, particularly in pregnant woman and her fetus. Various studies have clearly shown that antenatal thyroid disorders at both the mother and the fetus could cause in extreme situations of neurological consequences.

At a broader scale, subtle alterations of thyroid hormone balance has been implicated in developmental delays and deviations of the IQ bell curve in newborn infants of mothers with elevated TSH.

The clinical implications of these basic data and public health are yet to confirm.

It has been clearly established that there is a moderate iodine deficiency in France with a decreasing gradient from west to east. In the Ile de France, there is a moderate iodine deficiency, this has led some teams to propose a systematic supplementation of all women in iodine.

One way to target women who really need supplements systematic determination of urinary iodine tongue; this assay is reliable but is difficult to implement in an ad hoc practice at the individual level.

Our team has expertise in the field of fetal thyroid, particularly in its sonographic and reference curves of the perimeter and diameter of the thyroid are now clearly established reliably.

Knowing that iodine deficiency is causing a decline in maternal urine iodine with a phenomenon goitrigénèse and biological hypothyroidism and that some studies have shown that neonatal thyroid volumes were higher in iodine deficient mothers . We postulate that the measurement of fetal thyroid by our criteria can be correlated with maternal urinary iodine.

If this were the case, we will have a simple test to identify iodine supplementation in pregnant women.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing echography in people with Deficiency Disease, 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 26 Jul 2012. 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?

establish a relationship between maternal urinary iodine and thyroid measurements of fetal (time frame: final time frame at the end of the study). 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 NCT00162539, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Jul 2012.
