About this study

Official title: Two Year Developmental Follow-up for Premature Infants Receiving Milking or Delayed Cord Clamping: PREMOD2

An extension of the PREMOD2 trial, the PREMOD2 Follow-Up trial will evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes at 22-26 months corrected age of preterm children who received UCM or DCC. This prospective multi-national randomized controlled trial (RCT) is a two-arm parallel non-inferiority design of two alternative approaches of treatment.

Read the detailed description

The PREMOD2 Follow-up trial will examine the difference in early childhood neurodevelopmental outcomes of subjects enrolled in the PREMOD2 umbilical cord milking (UCM) vs. delayed cord clamping (DCC) trial, using standardized neurologic and developmental assessments at 22-26 months corrected age (CA). The corrected age may be extended out to 42 months CA due to Covid-19 pandemic for undetermined period of time.

What participants receive

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

  • Randomized to Umbilical Cord Milking at birthProcedure or surgery

    Also called UCM

    The subjects in this group were randomized to UCM X4 at birth. This procedure infuses a placental transfusion of blood by milking the umbilical cord towards the infant at birth.

  • Randomized to Delayed Cord Clamping at birthProcedure or surgery

    Also called DCC

    The subjects in this group were randomized to DCC at birth. At delivery, the obstetrician was instructed to delay clamping of the umbilical cord for 60 seconds.

What is being measured

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

  1. Developmental Outcome

    Bayley Scales of Infant Development (BSID), 3rd or 4th Ed. Composite Score (cognitive 55-145, language 45-155, motor 45-155; higher scores are better)

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age (CGA). All assessments may be extended to 42 months CGA due to Covid-19 pandemic.

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Moderate/Severe Neurodevelopmental Impairment

    Defined having at least one of the following: a cognitive score <70, GMFCS greater or equal 2, blindness (vision <20/200), or hearing impairment interfering with the ability to communicate with amplification.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  2. Mild Neurodevelopmental Impairment

    Defined having at least one of the following: a cognitive score 70-84, GMFCS =1, unilateral blindness (vision <20/200 in only one eye), or hearing impairment which does not interfere with the ability to communicate.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  3. Gross Motor Function Classification System Scale (GMFCS)

    The GMFCS is a validated system used to describe the severity of motor dysfunction. Scale measured from Level 0-5 with Level 0 being normal and Level 5 being the worst score. Measures ability to walk, sit, head control, voluntary movements and postures.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  4. Cerebral Palsy (CP)

    Classified as None, Mild, Moderate or Severe based on GMFCS score; No CP = GMFCS Level 0, Mild CP = GMFCS Level 1, Moderate CP = GMFCS Levels 2-3, Severe CP = GMFCS Levels 4-5

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  5. Developmental Outcomes assessed by Ages & Stages Questionnaire, 3rd ed. (ASQ-3) five domains: Communication, Gross motor, Fine motor, Problem solving and Personal-social in infants born between 23-32+6 weeks GA who received UCM or DCC.

    Each domain is scored from 0 to 60, the higher score is better.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  6. Developmental Outcomes in infants born at 23 -27 and 28-32 weeks GA who received UCM or DCC

    BSID Cognitive, Language \& Motor composite scores (cognitive 55-145, language 45-155, motor 45-155; higher scores are better) in infants 23-27 weeks GA and 28-32+6 weeks GA.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  7. Developmental Outcomes in infants born at 23 -27 and 28-32 weeks GA who received UCM or DCC

    ASQ-3 scores (0 to 60, the higher score is better) in infants 23-27 weeks GA and 28-32+6 weeks GA.

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  8. Compare levels of developmental impairment as assessed by BSID-3 or 4 versus the ASQ-3 screening tool.

    Mild, moderate or severe impairment

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  9. Any grade intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in premature newborns 23 - 32+6 weeks GA who received UCM or DCC by mode of delivery (C-Section vs vaginal delivery)

    Any IVH grade from 1 to grade 4, higher grade is worse

    Measured: From birth through hospital discharge, up to 6 months corrected gestational age (CGA)

  10. Death in premature newborns 23 - 32+6 weeks GA who received UCM or DCC by mode of delivery (C-Section vs vaginal delivery)

    Death

    Measured: From birth through hospital discharge, up to 6 months corrected gestational age (CGA)

  11. Compare neurodevelopmental outcomes from BSID assessments in newborns 23-32 weeks GA delivered by C-Section with those born by vaginal delivery receiving UCM or DCC.

    BSID Cognitive, Language \& Motor composite scores (cognitive 55-145, language 45-155, motor 45-155; higher scores are better)

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age

  12. Compare neurodevelopmental outcomes from ASQ assessments in newborns 23-32 weeks GA delivered by C-Section with those born by vaginal delivery receiving UCM or DCC.

    ASQ-3 scores (0 to 60, the higher score is better).

    Measured: 22-26 months corrected gestational age
