About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Non-Randomized Pharmacokinetic Study of Makena® (Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate Injection, 250 mg/mL) and Its Metabolites in Blood of Women With a Singleton Pregnancy and a Previous Singleton Spontaneous Preterm Delivery

This study will evaluate the levels of hydroxyprogesterone caproate and it's metabolites in blood throughout pregnancy

There will be 3 cohorts of subjects

Read more

Cohort 1 (6 subjects) will have daily blood draws in the morning at approximately the same time each day for one week following their first dose of Makena and will have blood drawn immediately prior to 2 successive Makena doses during Epoch 1 (24 - 28 weeks) and Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

Cohort 2 (8 subjects) will have blood drawn to determine the trough concentration 7 days after their first dose of Makena. Subjects will have daily blood draws for one week following a dose of Makena given in Epoch 1 (24 - 28 weeks) and blood drawn immediately prior to 2 successive doses during Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

Cohort 3 (16 subjects) will have blood drawn to determine the trough concentration 7 days after their first dose of Makena. Subjects will have blood drawn immediately prior to 2 successive doses in Epoch 1 (24 - 28 weeks) and daily blood draws for one week following a dose of Makena given during Epoch 2 (32 - 36 weeks)

A maximum of 10 subjects will be monitored on selected days following a completed course of Makena therapy to determine the terminal elimination phase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Hydroxyprogesterone caproate 250 mg/ml in people with Pregnancy, run by Lumara Health, Inc. at 6 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 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 18 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Plasma concentrations of hydroxyprogesterone caproate and metabolites (time frame: First dose, 24 - 28 weeks gestation, 32 - 36 weeks gestation). 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 18 Aug 2014.
