Trial summary

Dengue is the most common arbovirus worldwide (390 million people infected each year) and belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family like Zika. Its expansion has been rapid since the last decade with an increase in the number of cases of 400% and the first cases of indigenous dengue described in… Read more about this study

About this study

Dengue is the most common arbovirus worldwide (390 million people infected each year) and belongs to the Flavivirus genus of the Flaviviridae family like Zika. Its expansion has been rapid since the last decade with an increase in the number of cases of 400% and the first cases of indigenous dengue described in Europe.

Current data on the consequences of dengue fever on the fetus are incomplete. The risk of maternal-fetal transmission of dengue during the peripartum period has now been recorded in numerous case reports and a few case series for patients who contracted dengue in the 12 days preceding childbirth or at the time of delivery. However, the transmission of dengue is highly variable depending on the studies ranging from 1.6 to 15% and the consequences for the newborn are very variable ranging from simple thrombocytopenia to death in severe neonatal dengue.

Regarding the risk of malformation, a few old cases of heart disease, hydrocephalus and neural tube closure abnormalities have been described in the literature following exposure to dengue fever during pregnancy. Since no malformative case has been described, however, to our knowledge, no prospective study with specialized ultrasound monitoring has been performed for pregnant women who contracted dengue during their pregnancy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Study the teratogenic effects of the dengue virus on the fetus

    Rate of fetal anomalies such as infectious fetal disease or any other fetal anomaly detected during specialized antenatal ultrasound follow-up.

    Measured: at childbirth

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Study the maternal-fetal transmission of dengue fever during pregnancy

    Amniotic fluid positive dengue PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) rate

    Measured: at childbirth

  2. Study the maternal-fetal transmission of dengue fever in the peri-partum

    Umbilical cord dengue positive and / or IgM (immunoglobulin M) positive PCR rate

    Measured: at childbirth

  3. Study the materno-placental transmission of dengue fever during pregnancy and peri-partum

    Placental dengue positive PCR rate

    Measured: at childbirth

  4. Study the consequences at the placental level of dengue, in terms of anatomopathological alterations

    Placental pathology abnormalities rate

    Measured: at childbirth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dengue Fever, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de la Réunion 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 5 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 4 Nov 2021. 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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Study the teratogenic effects of the dengue virus on the fetus (time frame: at childbirth). 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 4 Nov 2021.
