Trial summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate performances of a NIPT test based onto the study of the maternal blood to search known genetic mutations already detected in the family and potentially inherited by the fetus. This test will avoid an invasive prenatal diagnosis in those families with a known genetic risk. Read more about this study

About this study

The aim of this study is to evaluate performances of a NIPT test based onto the study of the maternal blood to search known genetic mutations already detected in the family and potentially inherited by the fetus. This test will avoid an invasive prenatal diagnosis in those families with a known genetic risk.

The performance of this test will be evaluated in terms of sensitivity and specificity with an adapted statistic model.

Secondary objectives of the protocol are

  • To adapt NIPT to small DNA quantity (5-50 ng)
  • To adapt bioinformatics pipeline to low rate of mosaicism
  • To develop a tool to quantify the fetal fraction
  • To evaluate the robustness of the method

This test is based onto capture and high throw put sequencing adapted to cell free plasmatic DNA of pregnant women in order to detect point mutation present in her fetus. This approach has been previously described for others clinical applications such as liquid biopsy in cancers but not for NIPT analysis.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detection yield of fetal paternally transmitted single nucleotid variations (SNV) in free cell maternal DNA Absence of non fetal paternally transmitted single nucleotid variations (SNV) in maternal free cell DNA (cfDNA)

    Measured: Measurement will be performed at the end of the protocol (12 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Comparison of SNV detection efficiency of several bioinformatics pipeline Robustness evaluation in function of - Fetal percent in cfDNA - Genomic region - Initial input of cfDNA

    Measured: Measurement will be performed at the end of the protocol (12 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NIPT Test in people with Genetic Disorders in Pregnancy, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Bénédicte GERARD, PharmD, PhD (03 69 55 07 77, benedicte.gerard@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detection yield of fetal paternally transmitted single nucleotid variations (SNV) in free cell maternal DNA Absence of non fetal paternally transmitted single nucleotid variations (SNV) in maternal free cell DNA (cfDNA) (time frame: Measurement will be performed at the end of the protocol (12 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 Sep 2018.
