Scientific titleMicroparticle Orientated Risk Evaluation and Prediction of Pre-eclampsia Among Risk gravidas: a multicentre prospective phase I prognostic marker study
Study acronymMORE PrePARd
Study objectivesThe objective is to elucidate whether serum microparticle concentrations of pregnant women with abnormal uterine perfusion (a high risk group), both measured at 20th week of gestation, can discriminate between women who will develop preeclampsia (case group) and those who will not (control group).
Ethics approval(s)Local ethics committee (Ethik-Kommission der Universitätsklinikum Jena) approved on the 26th August 2008 (ref: 2370-08/08)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPre-eclampsia/pregnancy
InterventionTotal of 80 - 100 pregnant women with abnormal uterine perfusion, including 20 women who develop pre-eclampsia during pregnancy (cases) and 60 - 80 woman who do not develop pre-eclampsia (controls). Patients with risk pregnancies for preeclampsia will be recruited for marker measurement between 19th and 21st week of gestation.

Experimental test:
Measurement of syncytiotophoblast microparticle (STBM) concentration in maternal serum at time of study inclusion.

Reference test:
Assessment of objective clinical symptoms of preeclampsia according to the German Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (DGGG)-diagnostic criteria at 8-week intervals:
1. Hypertension defined as blood pressure (RR) systolic greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and/or diastolic greater than or equal to 90 mmHg, and
2. Proteinuria: Dipstick-Test greater than or equal to 1+ or greater than or equal to 300 mg total protein in 24-hour urine collection

There are two optional visits between the 19th and 21st week of gestation and birth: first visit at 27th to 29th week of gestation and second visit at 35th to 37th week of gestation to monitor these risk pregnancies. Final outcome will be assessed at 6 weeks post-partum.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureDevelopment of pre-eclampsia during current pregnancy. Final outcome will be assessed 6 weeks post-partum either by study doctor or attending doctor.
Secondary outcome measuresPre-eclampsia associated complications:
1. Differentiation early onset/severe and late onset/mild pre-eclampsia
2. Intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) or small for gestational age (SGA)
3. Induction of preterm labour/delivery
4. Intra-uterine foetal demise (IUFD)
5. Placental abruption

Final outcome will be assessed 6 weeks post-partum either by study doctor or attending doctor.
