About this study

Official title: Clinical Research: Effect of Chorioamnionitis on Platelet Activation and Placental Vessel Among Preterm Infants by Wnt-Flt1 Signal Pathway

Objective:The purpose of this study was to explore the effect and mechanism of maternal chorioamnionitis on placental microvasculature and platelet activation among preterm infants by activating Wnt-Flt1 signal pathway .

Methods:With clinical randomized controlled trial (RCT), the cases were matched with 1:1 according to gestational age and divided into 2 groups according to the placental pathology result: chorioamnionitis group and control group. (1) To observe the platelet parameter, birth weight, thrombrocytopenia and hemorrhage complication, such as intracranial hemorrhage, retinal hemorrhage, pulmonary hemorrhage and gastrointestinal hemorrhage. (2) To observe the miscrovascular density (MVD) in placenta, platelet activating factor (CD62p,CD63) and thrombopotetin (TPO) in preterrn infants.The placental MVD was assessed by immunohistochemical method. The platelet activating factors were detected by flow cytometry. TPO was detected by ELISA. (3) To observe Wnt5a, Flt1 and VEGF in placenta and fetal circulation.The measurement data were analyzed by pair t test and conditional logistic regression. Pearson correlation analysis was used for relationship.

What participants receive

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

  • chorioamnionitisOther

    It is a observation research. We didn't intervene anything. The chorioamnionitis groups included the infants whose mothers were diagnosed chorioamnionitis by placental histopathology.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chorioamnionitis and Placenta Diseases, run by Guangdong Women and Children Hospital.

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 17 Aug 2018. 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?

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?

Placental Microvascular Density(%) (time frame: 24 hours). 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 17 Aug 2018.
