About this study

Official title: Establishment of a Clinical Perinatal Database and Bank of Biological Materials

The aim of this project is to establish a clinical database and a bank of biological materials which will be used to improve the pathophysiologic understanding of the mechanisms underlying various pregnancy diseases. The US-Mexico Reproductive Health Research Development Workshop, sponsored by the NIH, recommended that the setting up of "tissue, blood, and placental banks from human and relevant animal models should be developed to aid in understanding how prenatal conditions relate to pathological consequences in adult life".

A large observational study in the United States of America, the National Collaborative Perinatal Project (NCPP), was conducted over 30 years ago (1959-1966) and has yielded a large amount of useful information. However standards of obstetrical and neonatal care have changed significantly over the last 30 years. Thus the setting up of a contemporary clinical perinatal database and bank of biological materials is required. In order to obtain sufficient data for statistical analysis a large sample size is necessary.

We propose to carry out this project at Sotero del Rio Hospital, Santiago Chile as this hospital has a delivery rate of approximately 14,000 women per year. Previous research collaborative efforts between the Sotero del Rio Hospital and the PRB have been carried out in compliance with NIH research regulations. Sotero del Rio Hospital has had previous successful negotiations of Single Project Assurances (SPA) with the NIH.

Information will be collected from clinical history taking, physical examination, sonographic examination and standard laboratory procedures. The bank of biological fluids and tissues will include maternal blood, umbilical cord plasma, amniotic fluid, maternal urine and placental tissue. No procedures will be carried out on patients that are not part of standard of care at Sotero del Rio Hospital.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preterm Labor and Preterm Birth, run by Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) at 1 site 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?

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 24 Feb 2023. 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 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?

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?

1.Maternal mortality 2.Route of delivery 3.Infection related complications 4.Bleeding, blood loss and transfusion requirements 5.Hypertensive disorders 6.Venous and arterial thrombotic events 7. Any other complications of pregnancy, labor or del... (time frame: Ongoing). 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 NCT00339235, which also lists 3 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 24 Feb 2023.
