About this study
Official title: Testing the Effect of a Dietary Intervention Program on the Incidence of Pre-eclampsia in Women at Risk
Aims: Pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia frequency is 2-8% from all pregnancies. Dietary factors and dietary status have been suggested to play a role in development of preeclampsia. Low intake of nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, is related to increased risk of preeclampsia. Also high triglyceride levels, high BMI, low Omega 6: omega 3 ratio and high calories consumption are possible risk factors.
Material and Methods: A prospective study will be carried out. Woman medically diagnosed as high risk for preeclampsia will randomly be assigned to dietary treatment or no dietary treatment groups. In the dietary treatment group, besides medical care, all woman will get calcium and vitamin D supplementation from 8th to 16th gestational weeks, and thereafter until delivery personal extensive nutritional guidance. A 3 day food diary will be collected at inclusion and thereafter at Gestational weeks 16 and 28. All routinely collected data during pregnancy (blood tests, weight, blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms) will be documented.
In both groups incidence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, blood pressure and protein in urine will be recorded.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Aims: Pre-eclampsia is one of the leading causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Preeclampsia frequency is 2-8% from all pregnancies. Dietary factors and dietary status have been suggested to play a role in development of preeclampsia. Low intake of nutrients such as calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, omega 3 fatty acids, is related to increased risk of preeclampsia. Also high triglyceride levels, high BMI, low Omega 6: omega 3 ratio and high calories consumption are possible risk factors.
Material and Methods: A prospective study will be carried out. Woman medically diagnosed as high risk for preeclampsia will randomly be assigned to dietary treatment or no dietary treatment groups. In the dietary treatment group, besides medical care, all woman will get calcium and vitamin D supplementation from 8th to 16th gestational weeks, and thereafter until delivery personal extensive nutritional guidance. A 3 day food diary will be collected at inclusion and thereafter at Gestational weeks 16 and 28. All routinely collected data during pregnancy (blood tests, weight, blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms) will be documented.
In both groups incidence of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, blood pressure and protein in urine will be recorded.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing 1500 mg Calcium and 1200 IU Vitamin D for 2 months and balanced diet in people with Pre-eclampsia, run by Rambam Health Care Campus.
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 2 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 15 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
lower incidence of pre-eclampsia during pregnancy (time frame: up to 42 weeks gestation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02706158, which also lists 7 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 15 Mar 2016.
