About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Evaluation of the Pharmacokinetics, Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Antithrombin Versus Placebo in Preterm Preeclampsia (PRESERVE-1)

The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of recombinant human antithrombin (ATryn) in addition to expectant management for the treatment of preterm preeclampsia (PPE). Efficacy will be assessed by comparing the difference in extension of gestational age from the time of randomization into the study until delivery between ATryn and placebo treated subjects. In addition, the effect of ATryn on fetal and neonatal clinical outcomes will be assessed. The PK characteristics of ATryn in the subjects will be investigated by measuring AT activity levels in the mother during treatment and in cord blood.

Read the detailed description

Hospitalized PPE patients who are being expectantly managed, after initial assessment and stabilization period, will be considered for the study. After informed consent has been obtained subjects will be screened for eligibility. Screening includes obtaining the subject's medical/obstetric history and a physical examination which includes an assessment of maternal and fetal status. Blood samples for hematology, clinical chemistries, biomarkers, coagulation, immunogenicity and AT activity levels will be drawn. Urine will be collected for baseline urinalysis, protein/creatinine ratio and biomarkers. Eligible subjects who meet inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive a continuous infusion of either ATryn or placebo.

Sampling for AT activity will be performed immediately prior to the first dose of study drug and at specified times thereafter.

Subjects will continue on study drug until maternal and/or fetal indications for delivery necessitate cessation of expectant management or until 34 0/7 weeks of gestation. The average extension of pregnancy with standard of care expectant management in this patient population is approximately 7 days. It is assumed that treatment with ATryn will provide an additional increase in gestational age of 5-7 days as compared to this standard of care. Total duration on study drug is therefore estimated to be approximately 7 to 14 days on average.

Post treatment assessments of the mother will be performed at hospital discharge and approximately 4-6 weeks after delivery of the neonate. Information on the neonates will be collected until they reach a post-menstrual age (PMA) of 36 weeks. If the neonate reaches 36 weeks PMA < 28 days following delivery, the final neonatal follow-up visit should be done at the 4-6 week post-delivery visit.

After the primary study completion and follow-up period, the neonate total number of days in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), days on a ventilator, days requiring supplemental oxygen (FiO2 ≥21%),the neonate hospital discharge date and whether the neonate is discharged from the hospital with a requirement for supplemental home oxygen therapy will be collected to help assess health care utilization. In addition, the date of death will be collected if the neonate expires before hospital discharge. These data will be considered supplemental to the primary study data set.

What is being measured

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

  1. Increase in Gestational Age in Days

    Increase in gestational age is defined as the gestational age at delivery minus the gestational age at randomization.

    Measured: Subjects will continue on study drug until maternal and/or fetal indications for delivery necessitate cessation of expectant management or until 34 0/7 weeks of gestation.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Composite Measure of Specific Fetal and Neonatal Outcomes Based on Protocol Defined 5-point Scale (Scores of 0 to 4)

    Composite score was calculated based on the following fetal and neonatal events: bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), cystic periventricular leucomalacia (PVL), retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), late Sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and mortality (fetal and neonatal). The endpoint is measured on a 5 point scale where 0 represents no outcomes experienced and no mortality, and 4 represents death, as shown below. Should the same outcome occur more than once, it will only be counted once.

    Score Outcome 0 No events, no mortality

    1. One event, no mortality
    2. Two events, no mortality
    3. Three or more events, no mortality
    4. Death

    Measured: Neonatal outcomes were assessed from birth until the later of 36 weeks (wks) Post Menstrual Age (PMA) and the 36 wks PMA visit, or through the 4-6 weeks post-delivery visit (if both 36 wks PMA and the 36 wks PMA visit occurred < 28 days post delivery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Recombinant human antithrombin (ATryn) and Normal Saline 0.9% in people with Preeclampsia, run by rEVO Biologics at 23 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 28 inclusion and 25 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 9 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 23 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Increase in Gestational Age in Days (time frame: Subjects will continue on study drug until maternal and/or fetal indications for delivery necessitate cessation of expectant management or until 34 0/7 weeks of gestation.). 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 NCT02059135, which also lists 2 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 9 Aug 2017.
