What is being measured

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

  1. Evolution over 48 hours of the fetal lung elasticity coefficient measure in kilopascals (kPa) (compared to the fetal liver)

    The dates of elastography exams controls patients will be distributed a week of amenorrhea (WA) between 24 and 34 WA.

    Measured: For pretern larbor group: day of hospitalization for preterm labor, then 2 days later. For control group, both measurements at 2-day intervals

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing lung and liver elastography measurement of fetus in people with Pregnancy Complications and Obstetric Labor, Premature, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Besancon 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 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jul 2018. 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?

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?

Evolution over 48 hours of the fetal lung elasticity coefficient measure in kilopascals (kPa) (compared to the fetal liver) (time frame: For pretern larbor group: day of hospitalization for preterm labor, then 2 days later. For control group, both measurements at 2-day intervals). 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 NCT02870608, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Jul 2018.
