Trial summary

For the prediction of late-onset preeclampsia (PE) in low risk women, the investigators established a cut-off value for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and evaluated the combination models of Elecys, second trimester uterine artery (UtA) doppler, and fetoplacental proteins for Down syndrome screening.

About this study

Official title: Screening Models for Early Detection of Late-onset Preeclampsia With Various Markers in Low-risk Pregnancy Populations

For the prediction of late-onset preeclampsia (PE) in low risk women, the investigators established a cut-off value for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio and evaluated the combination models of Elecys, second trimester uterine artery (UtA) doppler, and fetoplacental proteins for Down syndrome screening.

Read the detailed description

A prospective study was carried on in Cha hospital. Serum samples for Down syndrome screening were assayed to estimate pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A), alpha-fetoprotein , unconjugated estriol, human chorionic gonadotrophin , and inhibin-A. Women screened for Down syndrome were offered UtA Doppler at 20-24 weeks of gestation and then collected serial serum samples for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio at two time points (24-27 and 34-37 weeks' gestation).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Preeclampsia, run by CHA University.

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 10 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 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

identification of patients at risk for late-onset preeclampsia with sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (time frame: at delivery). 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 25 Jul 2012.
