About this study

Official title: Non-invasive Prenatal Diagnosis (NIPD) of Cystic Fibrosis by Quantitative Real Time MEMO-PCR

The purprose of this study is to develop and validate an analytical and clinical NIPD test for cystic fibrosis from maternal blood by analysis circulating free fetal DNA (cff-DNA), searching for the paternal mutation in families with CFTR compound heterozygosity

Read the detailed description

The recent development of techniques to analyze foetal DNA circulating in blood maternal opened new perspectives for prenatal diagnosis (PD). Non-invasive PND (NIPD) is now the method of choice for the determination of fetal sex (genetic disorders linked to X chromosome) and rhesus genotype. NIPD begins to find applications in the diagnosis of monogenic diseases for mutations of paternal transmission. However a number of technical challenges still hamper diagnostic applications in routine, and have to be resolved taking into account the aspects of cost, reliability (false negative ..) and complexity of equipment and bioinformatics studies.

The investigators propose to develop and validate an analytical and clinical NIPD test for cystic fibrosis from maternal blood by analysis circulating free fetal DNA (cff-DNA), searching for the paternal mutation in families with CFTR compound heterozygosity.

The test method based on MEMO associated with a platform for real-time PCR can be used for the detection of trace DNA mutant. This technique is commonly used for mutations in mosaic (less than 1%) of genes common cancers. Positive detection of the paternal mutation is always checked by a second mini-sequencing technique.

Prior to any specific CFTR test, the DNA profile of each sample will be determined using a commercial kit of Mini STR adapted to study casework. A tri-allelic profile for markers will prove the presence of fetal DNA in the studied specimen and will thus limit false negatives associated with the lack or insufficient amounts of cff-DNA.

The validation step of the investigators analytical methods will be made on chimeric DNA control samples artificially created. Then the test will be clinicaly validated by a retrospective study of maternal serum from pregnant women, who have been the subject of PND or PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) of CF request in the laboratory during the study period (2012 to 2013).

The investigators structure is a reference center for PGD, PND and NBS (newborn screening) of cystic fibrosis. The samples will be collected in accordance with current regulations.The pre-analytical sample treatment will be done in real time and plasma will be stored for the second step of the study.

The validation of the proposed tests will permit :

  • To have an external quality control (QC) confirming the presence of a minor DNA in the studied sample. This QC could be used for all NIPD tests based on the search of a genomic sequence absent from the maternal genome
  • To have a highly sensitive method to detect trace mutant DNA which can be develop for new NIPD tests in other monogenic diseases by detecting mutations of the same nature.

The investigators project, limited to the search for the paternal allele in the family with CFTR compound heterozygosity, is a first step in the implementation of a prenatal diagnosis approach of cystic fibrosis that the investigators aim to develop in order to to reduce invasive procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Noninvasive Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma of Ovary, run by University Hospital, Montpellier at 1 site 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Anne VECHERE (33467330812, a-verchere@chu-montpellier.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Analysis circulating free fetal DNA (time frame: 10th week with regard to the term of the pregnancy). 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 31 Dec 2014.
