New Biomarkers Associated With the Risk of Premature Delivery. (PROTEOMAP)

August 26, 2019 updated by: University Hospital, Bordeaux

Study of New Biomarkers Associated With the Risk of Premature Delivery During Spontaneous Work With Intact Membranes Before 37 Weeks of Amenorrhea.

Despite the progress made in the organization of care and neonatal care, prematurity remains the main cause of morbidity and perinatal mortality.

This study aims to estimate the prognostic value of new biomarkers (proteomic markers) on the occurrence of preterm birth.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Despite the progress made in the organization of care and neonatal care, prematurity remains the main cause of morbidity and perinatal mortality. With 7.2% of premature deliveries in France, threat of premature labor remains the leading cause of maternal transfer and hospitalization. In terms of mortality, morbidity and cost, the fight against prematurity remains a national priority in terms of public health.

The diagnosis of threat of premature labor at high risk of preterm labor is difficult and clinical and laboratory criteria often remain insufficient. Measurement of the cervix by endovaginal ultrasound lacks sensitivity and specificity. Among the biological criteria, only fibronectin, which has a good negative predictive value, is used in current practice. Despite the use of these two prognostic criteria, only 40% of hospitalized patients will give birth prematurely.

Recent advances in proteomics allow us to study complex proteomes and compare them. Preliminary studies already carried out have revealed families of proteins expressed differently in situations of work or premature delivery. We therefore hypothesize that the study of a woman's vaginal proteome with threat of premature labor may reveal new markers of preterm labor. These markers could help the clinician in its therapeutic management and thus reduce hospitalizations, better target patients requiring tocolytic treatment and optimize the use of corticosteroids. In addition, variations in the proteome may help to understand the physiopathological mechanisms of premature delivery, which are necessary for the development of effective therapeutics.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: woman giving birth prematurely
Proteome: by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Fibronectin: by vaginal sampling. Ultrasound of the cervix. Cytokines: ELISA kit of a panel of several cytokines.
Other: 2 tubes of 5ml during the blood collection and 2 swabs during vaginal sampling
The samples taken during this study are taken at the same time as those taken in routine during the diagnosis of threat of premature labor. There are added 2 tubes of 5ml during the blood collection and 2 swabs during vaginal sampling.

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.
