About this study

Official title: Esomeprazole Alone or With Sildenafil Citrate in Women With Early-onset Preeclampsia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Previous studies have shown that expectant management of preeclampsia in the context of extreme prematurity may improve perinatal outcomes. Indeed, it has been estimated that for each additional day of pregnancy prolongation between 24 and 32 weeks of gestation, there is a nonlinear corresponding gain of 1% in fetal survival. In this study, we evaluate the use of Esomeprazole alone or with Sildenafil Citrate for the treatment of singleton pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. We hypothesized that the potential increase in uteroplacental and fetoplacental blood flow with the use of Esomeprazole alone or with Sildenafil Citrate may be associated with pregnancy prolongation (the primary study outcome) and improved maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The etiology and pathophysiology of preeclampsia have not been clearly established; impaired immunologic adaptation and genetic incompatibility seem to be involved in deficient trophoblastic implantation. Placental hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction may lead to preeclampsia through an exacerbated systemic inflammatory reaction. Increased placental expression and secretion of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 appear to play a central role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 antagonizes the proangiogenic biologic activity of circulating vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor, leading to a failure of nitric oxide signaling to smooth muscle The investigators will conduct a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Esomeprazole alone or with Sildenafil Citrate in preterm pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esomeprazole with Sildenafil Citrate and Sildenafil Citrate in people with Preeclampsia, run by Aswan University Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 10 Jan 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

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

Contact hany f sallam (01022336052 ext. 002, hany.farouk@aswu.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prolongation of gestation measured from the time of enrollment to the time of delivery. (time frame: 3 weeks). 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?
