About this study

Official title: Preterm Premature Rupture of Fetal Membranes: Cervical Ultrasound and Biological Markers to Diagnose Prematurity.

Our main hypothesis is to consider that the detection of biomarkers on admission combined with the length of the cervix would improve the prediction of the latency period in case of preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM). The primary purpose of the protocol is to assess the performance of these tests to predict a latency period <48 hours in case of pPROM.

Read the detailed description

Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) is defined as a spontaneous rupture before the start of labor ("premature" rupture) and before 37 weeks of gestation ("preterm"). pPROM concern 2-3% of pregnancies. It is the main cause of prematurity since it is responsible for 24 to 42% of preterm deliveries. The time between PROM and childbirth is named the latency period. Its total duration can vary from a few hours to several weeks. Childbirth occurs within 48 hours of rupture for 18 to 93% of cases, within 7 days for 56 to 96% and within 28 days for 78 to 100%. The earlier PROM occurs during pregnancy, the longer the latency period is. The factors associated with a shorter latency period are: cervical changes during admission for pPROM, a shortened cervix on ultrasound or a threat of premature delivery prior to PROM, the existence of uterine contractions, oligoamnios, and the occurrence of a materno-fetal complication of pPROM.

In a pPROM situation, a prolonged latency period improves the neonatal prognosis by increasing the gestational age of birth, gives the possibility of administering the corticosteroid treatment of fetal pulmonary maturation and also allows an in utero transfer in an adapted maternity.

Several studies have shown a correlation between the length of the cervix during rupture and the latency period in the context of pPROM.

To date, there are no effective biomarkers used in current practice to predict this latency period.

We want to assess the diagnostic performance of different vaginal (PIBF / PP14 / IGFBP1 native and total) and serum (PIBF / MIF) markers as well as the ultrasound length of the cervix to predict the duration of this latency period in order to better anticipate the risk of prematurity.

What participants receive

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

  • Vaginal secretions collectionDiagnostic test

    Vaginal secretions are collected under speculum with a swab (10 seconds of impregnation of the swab). The swab is immersed in a tube containing an extraction buffer for 10 seconds. The tube is mixed and sent to the laboratory for subsequent analysis of biomarkers (IGFBP1 T/N, PIBF, PP14) and storage.

  • Blood sampleDiagnostic test

    2 tubes of blood sample were collected and sent to the laboratory for serum storage and biomarkeurs assay (PIBF and MIF)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vaginal secretions collection and Blood sample in people with Premature Rupture of Membrane, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand 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 3 inclusion and 9 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 16 Mar 2020. 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 Lise LACLAUTRE (+334.73.754.963, promo_interne_drci@chu-clermontferrand.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

total IGFBP1 in vaginal secretion at admission (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 16 Mar 2020.
