About this study

Official title: Prevention of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) Mother-to-child Transmission (MTCT): Impact of Serovaccination in Lariboisiere Hospital, Paris, France.

The prevalence of HBsAg carriage in pregnant women varies in France, according to the native country, with highest rates in those originating from sub-Saharan Africa and Asia (5 to 8 % in Parisian area). The level of HBV-DNA varies according to HBe status and geographical origin, and is strongly predictive of the risk of HBV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). It has been shown that the rate of vertical transmission (Chinese study by Yuan J et al) was 0 % in newborns to mothers whom HBV-DNA was < 105 copies/mL and up to more than 40 % in newborns to mothers with high viral loads > 108 copies/mL, despite HBIg and vaccine at birth. Thus, data are needed concerning the current practices about the prevention of HBV MTCT in France, and their results.

Read the detailed description

This monocentre, observational study will include pregnant women whom HBV-DNA is > 105 IU/mL. HBV MTCT rates will be evaluated, according to the level of HBV-DNA in the women during the last three months of pregnancy and at childbirth (between 105 and 108 IU/mL, or > 108 IU/mL), and according to the clinical practices of serovaccination in the participating center. The evaluation will be based on the rate of HBsAg positivity in infants at 9 months, despite a correct immunization at birth. The rate of detectable HBV-DNA will be also evaluated in infants at the same date.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B, run by Hopital Lariboisière at 2 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 6 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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?

Rate of HBsAg positivity in infants at 9 months, despite a correct immunization at birth (time frame: 9 months of life). 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 6 Dec 2013.
