Extended Azithromycin Treatment in Prelabor Rupture of Membranes

21 czerwca 2026 zaktualizowane przez: Alexa Henderson

Extended Azithromycin Treatment in Peri-viable and Extremely Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes: A Pilot Study

The purpose of this study is to learn whether adding extra doses of azithromycin to the standard antibiotic treatment for preterm prelabor rupture of membranes may improve pregnancy outcomes for patients between 22 weeks and 28 weeks gestational age.

Researchers will compare the standard antibiotic treatment to the standard antibiotic treatment with additional doses of azithromycin.

Participants will:

  • Be randomly assigned to one of two groups:
  • The standard antibiotic treatment
  • The standard antibiotic treatment plus 7 additional doses of oral azithromycin 500 mg every other day.
  • Participants will be asked to complete a survey regarding their experience and side effects.

Przegląd badań

Szczegółowy opis

Multiple randomized trials have shown that antibiotic treatment for preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) increases pregnancy latency and decreases maternal and neonatal morbidity. However, the optimal dosing schedule for azithromycin in PPROM is not fully understood. This pilot study will assess the feasibility of a non-blinded, randomized-controlled trial comparing maternal and neonatal outcomes between the standard PPROM antibiotic regimen and the standard regimen with extended azithromycin therapy in participants with periviable and extremely preterm PPROM between 22- and 28-weeks gestational age. Preliminary data on pregnancy latency, maternal morbidity, and neonatal outcomes will also be collected. Findings from this feasibility study will inform the design of a future, powered study.

The investigators hypothesize that extended azithromycin therapy may be associated with longer pregnancy latency and decreased rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity compared to standard therapy. This hypothesis is exploratory, and the present feasibility study is not powered to test a hypothesis.

The primary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a non-blinded, randomized controlled trial of extended azithromycin therapy in participants with periviable and extremely preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) who desire expectant management between 22 and 28 weeks gestational age. Specifically, we aim to assess feasibility metrics including recruitment and consent rates, randomization procedures, adherence to the study protocol, and completeness of follow-up.

The secondary objectives of this pilot study are to estimate the variability (standard deviation) of pregnancy latency in this population to inform sample-size calculations for a future definitive trial. The investigators will also collect preliminary data on maternal outcomes (e.g., rates of intra-amniotic infection, endometritis, and placental abruption) and neonatal outcomes (gestational age at delivery, NICU admission, morbidity) for planning purposes. Additionally, the investigators will review placental pathology reports to identify the stage/grade of chorioamnionitis per the Amsterdam criteria. The investigators will obtain an initial estimate of the effect of extended azithromycin on pregnancy latency, recognizing that this pilot study is not powered to detect clinically meaningful differences.
