Trial summary

Neonatal thrombocytopenia isoimmunization maternal-fetal is related to maternal immunization against fetal platelet antigens with paternal origin not present in the mother. It is considered the equivalent of hemolytic disease of the newborn. The incidence of this disease is about 1 in 800-1000 births. Read more about this study

About this study

Neonatal thrombocytopenia isoimmunization maternal-fetal is related to maternal immunization against fetal platelet antigens with paternal origin not present in the mother. It is considered the equivalent of hemolytic disease of the newborn. The incidence of this disease is about 1 in 800-1000 births. The most severe forms associated petechiae, purpura or cephalhematoma at birth with a major risk of cerebral hemorrhages (20% to 25% of cases) can cause the death of the child (15%) or severe neurological troubles (15-30%) Biologic diagnosis requires the detection of anti-platelet antibodies with maternal determination of platelet phenotypes and genotypes of the two parents.

The objective of this work is to develop specific molecular tools to fetal platelet genotyping from maternal blood. We are particularly interested to antigens HPA-1, HPA-5 , HPA-3 and HPA-4. We evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this test by comparing these results with those obtained from an invasive sampling of amniotic fluid.

This is a prospective study to assess the technical and diagnostic performance of a new molecular method noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of platelet genotyping.

Neonatal thrombocytopenia isoimmunization maternal-fetal is related to maternal immunization against fetal platelet antigens with paternal origin not present in the mother. It is considered the equivalent of hemolytic disease of the newborn. The incidence of this disease is about 1 in 800-1000 births. The most severe forms associated petechiae, purpura or cephalhematoma at birth with a major risk of cerebral hemorrhages (20% to 25% of cases) can cause the death of the child (15%) or severe neurological troubles (15-30%) Biologic diagnosis requires the detection of anti-platelet antibodies with maternal determination of platelet phenotypes and genotypes of the two parents. When it is diagnosed, genetic counseling to the couple for a future pregnancy is necessary because the risk of recurrence is important and severity increases with the number of pregnancies. The risk depends on the nature of paternal antigens, homozygous or heterozygous. In case of heterozygosity, prenatal diagnosis is based on fetal platelet genotyping by an invasive procedure (amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling) associated with a risk of fetal loss. The alloantibodies responsible for fetal damage are directed against platelet alloantigens: this is HPA system (human platelet alloantigen). 24 alloantigens have been described and 12 of them have a biallelic polymorphism (a: the most frequent allele and b the rare allele) divided into 6 groups (HPA-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 15). The genotype-phenotype correlations were performed for 22 of the 24 alloantigens and show that the antigenic polymorphism results from the presence of a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism-).

In 1997, Lo et al showed the presence of 3-6% of fetal DNA in maternal blood. This discovery led to the development of methods of non-invasive prenatal diagnosis: 1/ the determination of fetal Rhesus 2/ fetal sex by real-time quantitative PCR.

The objective of this work is to develop specific molecular tools to fetal platelet genotyping from maternal blood. We are particularly interested to antigens HPA-1, HPA-5 , HPA-3 and HPA-4. We evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this test by comparing these results with those obtained from an invasive sampling of amniotic fluid.

This is a prospective study to assess the technical and diagnostic performance of a new molecular method noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of platelet genotyping.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Extra blood draw samples and extra amniotic fluid samples in people with Neonatal Thrombocytopenia Isoimmunization Maternal-fetal, run by Assistance Publique Hopitaux De Marseille 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 2 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jul 2023. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

number of Fetomaternal platelet incompatibilities detected (time frame: 30 months). 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 28 Jul 2023.
