About this study

Troponin T-us is a cardiac marker for myocardial infarction. Its use in neonates is increasing, yet normal values are still to be determined for the latest generation of tests, such as High sensitivity cardiac troponin T test. This study is an observational study designed to determine biological normal values of High sensitivity cardiac troponin T test (troponin T -us) in newborns.

Read the detailed description
  • Approximately 400 subjects will be recruited over a planned recruitment period of 2 months. During labour, or pre natal hospitalization, information about the study will be given to every mothers by the midwife or the pediatrician. Absence of opposition will be notified in the medical file.
  • At birth, every child born alive is possibly eligible for this study, if he doesn't meet the exclusion criteria.
  • After clamping the umbilical cord, the midwife realizes the systematic sample for assessment of pH and lactate. If the mother did not object to the study, the midwife will use 200µl of this very same sample to assess Troponin T blood level. This sample goes to the same laboratory to be analyzed. The blood sample for troponin T measurement must be brought to the laboratory within 2 hours, just as pH and lactate must be. The midwife in charge of this patient also fills a form with informations from the patient's medical file. This form is anonymized for the study.
  • Samples will not be stored, remaining swab after analysis will be destructed.
  • Before discharge, all children undergo a medical exam by a pediatrician, whether they are in maternity or in neonate. The pediatrician who examines the child fills a second form that summarizes the noteworthy events of his hospital journey.

Subjects have the right to withdraw from the study at any time for any reason. If one of the parents wishes to withdraw from the study after the first Troponin T measurement is made, we will ask for their permission to use the collected data.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Troponin T blood levelBiological

    assess Troponin T blood level for every child born from the same sample of blood (after clamping the umbilical cord) used for assessment of pH and lactate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of cardiac high sensitive Troponin T in umbilical cord blood

    T level will be analyzed by the biochemistry laboratory and collected by a study investigator.

    Measured: At birth - Time 0

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Noticeable events during pregnancy ; Delivery conditions

    Any event, disease, treatment during pregnancy. Those data will be collected in the mothers pregnancy file.

    Measured: Within the two hours following birth

  2. Noticeable events in post partum

    Infection, jaundice… Those data will be collected in the baby's maternity file or intensive care unit file

    Measured: Before discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Newborn; Newborn, Transient, run by Hôpital NOVO 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 29 Jul 2019. 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?

Level of cardiac high sensitive Troponin T in umbilical cord blood (time frame: At birth - Time 0). 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 NCT02880098, which also lists 4 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 29 Jul 2019.
