Trial summary

Non invasive methods are the only available methods to stage liver fibrosis during pregnancy. The safety of elastometry - ultrasound based - is obvious, as medical supervision of pregnancy is based on ultrasonography, both methods using same wavelengths. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Validity of Non-invasive Liver Fibrosis Assessment by Ultrasound-based Elastography at the Third Trimester of Pregnancy: a Prospective Study

Non invasive methods are the only available methods to stage liver fibrosis during pregnancy. The safety of elastometry - ultrasound based - is obvious, as medical supervision of pregnancy is based on ultrasonography, both methods using same wavelengths. Therefore, this method is sometimes used in pregnant women with recent diagnosis of chronic viral hepatitis infection, whereas its validity in pregnant women has never been studied. This lack of data justifies our study.

Read the detailed description

One measurement during the third trimester of pregnancy will be compared to a second measurement, 3 months after childbirth.

Medical subject headings
Hepatitis B

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference between the fibrosis score during and after pregnancy

    Measured: 3 to 6 months after delivery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatitis B Virus Infection; Pregnant Women, run by Hopital Lariboisière 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 4 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Oct 2015. 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?

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?

Difference between the fibrosis score during and after pregnancy (time frame: 3 to 6 months after 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 2 Oct 2015.
