About this study

Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) is associated with severe and recurrent obstetrical complications. A link between anti-HLA Antibodies (Ab) and CHI has recently been established. At the Etablissement Français du Sang (EFS), donors who have already given birth once and have high levels of anti-HLA are excluded from donating apheresis platelets and therapeutic plasma to prevent TRALI (Transfusion Related Acute Lung Injury). No studies have examined the obstetrical history of these donors. The question is: is there an association between anti-HLA levels and obstetrical complications?

Read the detailed description

Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) is a rare condition with an incidence of around 5 in 10,000 pregnancies. It is defined by major infiltration of the intervillous cavity by CD68+ maternal histiocytes, associated with fibrin deposition on the villous surface.

CHI is associated with severe obstetrical complications and a very high recurrence rate, estimated at between 70% and 100%. These complications include early and late miscarriage, fetal death, severe growth retardation in surviving fetuses, and premature delivery. The survival rate reported in the literature varies between 30% and 50%.

Anti-HLA antibodies are present in 54% of pregnant women at the end of pregnancy, and their rate increases towards the end of pregnancy. The presence of HLA antibodies also increases with the number of pregnancies, and is found in up to 74% of cases after more than 2 deliveries.

The research question concerns the existence of a statistically significant association between the presence of high levels of anti-HLA antibodies and the occurrence of one or more obstetric complications.

What participants receive

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

  • Obstetrical historyOther

    Selection of donors by EFS retrospectively on the basis of inclusion criteria. Information note sent by e-mail, non-opposition as well as a questionnaire to be completed online to obtain data on obstetrical history.

  • Anti-HLA Antibody testsOther

    Analyze responses in relation to the results of the anti-HLA Antibody tests performed at the time of donation.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the association between the occurrence of obstetrical complications and the level of anti-HLA Ab measured during the screening test performed by the EFS.

    Obstetrical complications are defined as (binomial qualitative variable) :

    • Preterm delivery < 37 WA
    • Fetal death in utero whatever the term
    • Early or late miscarriage
    • Early or late pre-eclampsia
    • Medical termination of pregnancy
    • Intrauterine growth retardation <3rd percentile

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Type and precocity of obstetrical complication (multinomial qualitative variable)

    • Preterm deliveries < 37 WA and ≥ 34 WA
    • Premature deliveries < 34 WA
    • Fetal death in utero regardless of term
    • Late miscarriage < 22 WA and ≥ 14 WA
    • Early miscarriage < 14 WA
    • Late pre-eclampsia > 37 WA and ≥ 34 WA
    • Early pre-eclampsia < 34 WA
    • Medical termination of pregnancy
    • Intrauterine growth retardation <3rd percentile

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Measure the association between the type and precocity of obstetrical complications according to the type of anti-HLA Ab (class I and/or class II), when these Ab are found during the screening test performed by the EFS

    • Preterm deliveries < 37 WA and ≥ 34 WA
    • Premature deliveries < 34 WA
    • Fetal death in utero regardless of term
    • Late miscarriage < 22 WA and ≥ 14 WA
    • Early miscarriage < 14 WA
    • Late pre-eclampsia > 37 WA and ≥ 34 WA
    • Early pre-eclampsia < 34 WA
    • Medical termination of pregnancy
    • Intrauterine growth retardation <3rd percentile

    Measured: 2 months

  3. Verify the absence of response bias by comparing the HLA Ab levels of responding versus non-responding donors.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Blood Donors and Anti-HLA Antibody, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 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 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 Xavier LAFARGE, Doctor (05 56 90 83 93, xavier.lafarge@efs.sante.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To measure the association between the occurrence of obstetrical complications and the level of anti-HLA Ab measured during the screening test performed by the EFS. (time frame: 2 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 24 Jan 2024.
