About this study

Official title: Cell-based Non-invasive Prenatal Testing - Evaluation of Time of Blood Sampling and Whole Genome Amplification Prior to Genetic Testing

The study aims to evaluate cell-based non-invasive prenatal testing (cbNIPT) as an alternative to invasive chorionic villus sampling (CVS) in patients who achieve pregnancy following preimplantation genetic testing for hereditary disorders.

Read the detailed description

The study has three main objects:

  1. to evaluate the optimal time of blood sampling (gestational week 7-8 or 11-14)
  2. to evaluate whole genome amplification prior to genetic analysis og isolated fetal cells (only relevant for monogenic disorders)
  3. evaluating specificity and sensitivity
Being tested
Whole genome amplification
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Whole genome amplificationGenetic

    DNA is amplified by whole genome amplification

Study groups in NCT05453474
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
WGAExperimentalDNA from the cells are amplified by whole genome amplification prior to genetic testing.
Receives: Genetic: Whole genome amplification
No-WGANo interventionDNA from the cells are tested directly without whole genome amplification

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the fetal cell yield when blood sampling is performed at Gestational weeks 7-8 compared to gestational weeks 11-14.

    Evaluation of whether cbNIPT be performed in gestational week 7-8.

    Measured: Within 2 years

  2. Percentage of test with an informative test result from genetic testing following whole genome amplification or direct testing without whole genome amplification.

    Analysis of whether genetic testing on whole genome amplified material is inferior to genetic testing directly on DNA purified from single cells.

    Measured: Within 2 years (since data analysis is carried out later than sample collection)

  3. Specificity and sensitivity of single cell analysis.

    Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of single cell analysis.

    Measured: Within 2 years

Model description
All patients had either one or two blood samples collected. Each blood sampled had either all cells lyzed or cells were split between lysis and whole genome amplification. Hence, the study is considered to have to seperate analysis each with two arms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Whole genome amplification in people with Hereditary Diseases, run by Aalborg University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 31 Jan 2024. 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 Denmark. 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?

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?

Evaluation of the fetal cell yield when blood sampling is performed at Gestational weeks 7-8 compared to gestational weeks 11-14. (time frame: Within 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05453474, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2024.
