March 2, 2026 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Betamethasone and Severity of Hyaline Membrane Disease in the Newborn Premature

Primary purpose: to study the relationship between betamethasone placental transfer and the occurrence and severity of the Hyaline Membrane Disease.

Detailed Description

β-Mhyalines is a prospective multicentric non interventional study. One hundred fifty pregnant women at risk of premature delivery, in the framework of Hyaline Membrane Disease of the neonate, will receive 2 intramuscular injections of Celesten (betamethasone) at 24 hours interval. Plasma samples will be collected: 2 in the mother before delivery, one maternal and one cord samples at delivery. Concentrations will be measured and analyzed using a population approach. A ratio between neonatal and maternal exposure will be calculated to represent placental transfer. The effect of covariates (genetic polymorphism for CYP3A4, CYP3A5, P-glycoprotein…, and others variables as gestational age, bodyweight at birth, apgar score, co-medication, maternal disease) will be tested to explain the variability of placental transfer. The relationship between placental transfer and the occurrence and severity of the Hyaline Membrane Disease will then be study, in order to target betamethasone maternal concentration and thus to optimize the antenatal dose to administer to the mother in the framework of Hyaline Membrane Disease.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of neonates with hyaline membrane disease
Time Frame: 3 days
respiratory symptoms (respiratory rhythm disorders, signs of retraction, cyanosis, oxgen dependance >30 %). Confirmation by radiology
3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
