About this study

Official title: Prenatal Non-invasive Aneuploidy Test Utilizing SNPs Trial (PreNATUS)

This prospective blinded study will assess the diagnostic capability of an informatics enhanced SNP based technology (Parental Support) to identify pregnant women who are carrying a fetus with an aneuploidy from fee floating DNA in the maternal blood.

Read the detailed description

First trimester screening is the current standard of care for pregnant women in the United States. Women with a high screening risk for trisomy then have invasive testing, which carries a risk of miscarriage, to definitively determine if the fetus has trisomy. Because of the high false negative rate of the first trimester screening, an unacceptable number of trisomic fetuses are not detected. Moreover, because of the high false positive rate, an unacceptable number of women undergo invasive follow up testing. Additional screening tests are needed that combine a high sensitivity, a low false positive rate, and minimal or no risk to the fetus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Sensitivity and Specificity of the test to diagnose aneuploidy in a fetus at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y.

    The primary objective is to determine the diagnostic capability of the test to detect autosomal aneuploidy (chromosomes 13, 18, 21) and sex aneuploidy (X and Y).

    Measured: Between first trimester screening (10-14 weeks GA) and invasive testing (amniocentesis or CVS).

Timeline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Trisomy 13 and Trisomy 18, run by Natera, Inc. at 29 sites in 6 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Canada, Ireland, Italy, South Korea and 1 more country. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Non-invasive Prenatal Screening CLIA test performance validated in other cohort. Decided samples not required, study aims achieved through other studies.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Sensitivity and Specificity of the test to diagnose aneuploidy in a fetus at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y. (time frame: Between first trimester screening (10-14 weeks GA) and invasive testing (amniocentesis or CVS).). 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 23 Mar 2023.
