Trial summary

Infections remain a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. At birth, multiple microorganisms, to which they are particularly vulnerable given the immaturity and naïve nature of their immune system, may infect newborns. Read more about this study

About this study

Infections remain a major cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. At birth, multiple microorganisms, to which they are particularly vulnerable given the immaturity and naïve nature of their immune system, may infect newborns. Passive immunity by transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies is therefore of major importance in the first weeks and months of life before their own vaccination or until this period of immunological vulnerability has passed. Some factors are known to affect transplacental passage of antibodies but these have generally been studied in small series and many other parameters have not yet been investigated. The transmission rate of antibodies, particularly neutralizing antibodies, remains little explored, as well as the difference in transfer between antibodies induced by vaccination and those induced by natural infection, or the influence of maternal factors such as multiple pregnancy, other infections and treatment of these infections. A better identification and understanding of the factors that can affect transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies is crucial for optimization of vaccination strategies and close monitoring of particularly vulnerable newborns.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aim to include 4050 patients and collect a maternal at delivery cord blood sample.

The aim of the investigators is to measure and compare ratio of transplacental transfer of maternal anti-virus antibodies according to the mode of acquisition of immunity (post-vaccination, or post-natural or mixed infection), gestational age at birth (< 32 Weeks of Gestation -WG-, 32-37 WG and > 37 WG) for several virus (Hepatitis B virus, Varicella zoster virus, Rubella virus, Measles, Influenza Virus, Mumps Virus, SARS-CoV-2, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2, Respiratory Syncitial Virus, Parvovirus B19, HTLV). The investigators also aim to identify factors likely to influence negatively or positively transplacental transfer of maternal antibodies as maternal age, maternal ethnic origin, parity and gestation, sex of the newborn, maternal chronic or acute infection/disease occurring during pregnancy; Birth weight, vaccine boost carried out during pregnancy (etc.) will also be studied.

What participants receive

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

  • Blood sample and data collectionOther

    Solicitation of parturients during a prenatal visit between 22 and 41 weeks of gestation or during their hospitalization in a high-risk pregnancy sector and at the latest on the day of their delivery.

    Blood sample :

    • Maternal sample within 72 hours before or after delivery during a care-based venipuncture (additional 10 mL sample) ;
    • The cord blood sample (10 mL) immediately after delivery.

    Data collection :

    • A data collection sheet for the attention of the investigator (doctor or midwife) ;
    • Additional data relating to the history of vaccination and infection completed by the patients included during their stay in the maternity ward and before their discharge from the hospital (Delay between 0 and 6 days after inclusion).

What is being measured

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

  1. Measure the transplacental transfer ratio of maternal anti-virus antibodies according to the mode of acquisition of immunity, gestational age at birth of specific viruses

    This is a descriptive study that aim to measure the ratio of transplacental transfer of maternal anti-virus antibodies according to the mode of acquisition of immunity (post-vaccination, or post-natural or mixed infection), gestational age at birth (< 32 WA, 32-37 WA and > 37 WA) for the following virus : Hepatitis B virus, Varicella zoster virus, Rubella virus, Measles, Influenza Virus, Mumps Virus, SARS-CoV-2, Cytomegalovirus, Herpes Simplex Virus 1 and 2, Respiratory Syncitial Virus, Parvovirus B19, HTLV.

    Ratios will be expressed in absolute values : "antibody level in the newborn (units/ml) / antibody level in the mother (units/ml).

    Measured: 15 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Compare transplacental transmission ratios of the different specific antibodies.

    Ratios will be expressed in absolute values : "antibody level in the newborn (units/ml) / antibody level in the mother (units/ml)

    Measured: 15 months

  2. Identify factors likely to influence transplacental transfer of the maternal antibodies as maternal age, ethnic origin, parity and gestation, sex of the child, maternal chronic or acute infection/disease occurring during pregnancy

    Identify factors likely to influence negatively or positively transplacental transfer of the maternal antibodies as maternal age, maternal ethnic origin, parity and gestation, sex of the newborn, maternal chronic or acute infection/disease occurring during pregnancy,birth weight, vaccine boost carried out during pregnancy.

    Ratios will be expressed in absolute values : "antibody level in the newborn (units/ml) / antibody level in the mother (units/ml)

    Measured: 15 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnant Woman and Adult Patient, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 4 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 25 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Christelle VAULOUP FELLOUS, Doctor (+33 1.45.59.33.14, christelle.vauloup-fellous@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Measure the transplacental transfer ratio of maternal anti-virus antibodies according to the mode of acquisition of immunity, gestational age at birth of specific viruses (time frame: 15 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 25 Apr 2023.
