Trial summary

the attendants of the clinic with a one-missed period (T0) underwent determination of baseline blood pressure (BP) measures and gave blood samples for estimation of levels of placental growth factor (PLGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and pregnancy protein 13 (PP13).

About this study

Official title: Low Serum Pregnancy Protein 13 Early in Pregnancy Might Predict the Oncoming Gestational Hypertensive Disorders, Especially Early-onset Preeclampsia

the attendants of the clinic with a one-missed period (T0) underwent determination of baseline blood pressure (BP) measures and gave blood samples for estimation of levels of placental growth factor (PLGF), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and pregnancy protein 13 (PP13). The same evaluation was repeated on the 6th, 24th, 32nd, and 36th gestational week (GW). Twenty non-pregnant women gave samples as a negative control group.

What participants receive

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

  • Estimation of Protein 13Diagnostic test

    Serum biomarkers' levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits according to the manufacturer's instructions and were read using a 96 well microplate ELISA reader (Dynatech. MR 7000)

    1. Human placental growth factor (PLGF) was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. DPG00 SPG00 PDPG00, R\&D Systems Inc., Minneapolis, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (20).
    2. Human soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. MBS601616, MyBioSource, Inc., California, San Diego, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (21).
    3. Human pregnancy protein 13 was measured with the enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) kit (catalog no. ab100553, Abcam Inc., Cambridge, USA) by quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique (22).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gestational Hypertension, run by Benha University 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 26 Aug 2022. 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. 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?

Serum biomarkers and GHD (time frame: 9 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 26 Aug 2022.
