PK/PD Modeling of Magnesium in the Mother and Neonate

November 19, 2014 updated by: Brendan Carvalho, Stanford University

Pharmacokinetics (PK)/Pharmacodynamics (PD) Modeling of Magnesium Sulfate In the Mother and Exposed Neonate

Determine significant correlations between maternal serum magnesium levels, and maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

We will construct a pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic model of intravenous magnesium sulfate administered antenatally to expectant mothers and exposed fetuses with the aim of optimizing maternal and fetal outcomes while preventing maternal and neonatal overdosing and morbidity associated with current magnesium treatment protocols. Once we have developed a PK/PD model in our own hospital cohort, we will apply this model to a large existing NICHD database to mathematically calculate optimal dosing protocols.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Neonatal
Neonates born to pregnant women exposed to magnesium sulfate for preeclampsia, tocolysis, or neuroprotection.
Participants will be given magnesium sulfate infusion as part of their normal care for either preeclampsia, tocolysis, or neuroprotection.
Maternal
Pregnant women exposed to magnesium sulfate for preeclampsia, tocolysis, or neuroprotection
Participants will be given magnesium sulfate infusion as part of their normal care for either preeclampsia, tocolysis, or neuroprotection.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maternal and neonatal blood magnesium levels
Time Frame: 24 months
Pregnant women and neonates exposed to magnesium sulfate for preeclampsia, tocolysis, or neuroprotection will have blood samples drawn at set time points around the time of delivery.
24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maternal and neonatal side effects
Time Frame: 24 months

Maternal drug side effects (flushing, sedation, nausea, vomiting, respiratory rate, oxygen saturations, blood pressure, heart rate, and patella tendon reflex depression) will be assessed prospectively.

Neonatal drug effects: Incidence of cerebral palsy, neonatal mortality, NICU and special care admissions, respiratory distress, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, and diagnosis of hypermagnesemia will be recorded, We will use validated and standardized definitions for diagnoses and all clinical outcome measurements.
