Continuous Glucose Monitoring of Late Preterm Birth After Corticosteroids

August 6, 2020 updated by: Mednax Center for Research, Education, Quality and Safety

An Observational Study to Predict Neonatal Hypoglycemia Using Antenatal Continuous Glucose Monitoring Among Late Preterm Parturients Receiving Corticosteroids

Women undergoing late preterm birth are at high risk of delivering a newborn with neonatal hypoglycemia. The investigators plan to monitor interstitial glucose levels prior to delivery in these women in order to develop a better understanding of the relationship between maternal hyperglycemia and neonatal hypoglycemia.

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

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

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Pregnant women admitted in the late preterm period who are at high risk for late preterm birth and receiving betamethasone in accordance to current American College of Obstetrician and Gynecologist guidelines are screened.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnancy admitted to labor and delivery between 34w0d and 36w5d
  • English speaking women

  • High probability of delivery in late preterm period defined by any of the following:

    1. Membrane rupture by 2 criteria (pooling, positive nitrazine, or ferning) OR leaking amniotic fluid from the cervix
    2. Preterm labor with intact membrane, defined as at least 6 uterine contractions in 60 minutes and at least: cervical dilation greater than or equal to 3cm dilated OR 80% effaced OR planned delivery by induction of labor or cesarean in no less than 24 hrs and no more than 7 days, for any indication as deemed necessary by the provider
  • Received at least one dose of corticosteroid within twelve hours of enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any prior antenatal corticosteroid course in current pregnancy
  • Systemic corticosteroid administration during current pregnancy
  • Fetal demise or known major fetal anomaly, including cardiac anomaly or hydrops
  • Maternal contraindication to betamethasone: hypersensitivity reaction to any component of the medication, idiopathic thrombocytopenic, purpura, systemic fungal infection, or current use of amphotericin B
  • Diabetes, pregestational or gestational
  • Preexisting plan for intrapartum monitoring of maternal glucose levels for any reason

  • Delivery expected within 12 hours of randomization, because of insufficient time for corticosteroids to confer benefit, including:

    1. Ruptured membranes with cervical dilation ≥ 3cm or with more than 6 contractions per hour unless Pitocin is deferred for at least 12 hours
    2. Chorioamnionitis
    3. Cervical dilation ≥ 8cm
    4. Evidence of non-reassuring fetal status requiring immediate delivery
  • To ensure that there is an adequate proportion of women presenting at 34 to 35 weeks gestation, enrollment will be restricted so that no more than 50% of the women in the trial present at 36 weeks.

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.

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Anticipated)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
December 1, 2019

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

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.
April 1, 2020

Study Completion (Anticipated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
