Multiparametric Assessment of Maternal Vascular Function in the Prediction

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The present study is a single-centre prospective study that will enrol pregnant women during their first trimester of pregnancy (11+0 - 13+6 weeks of gestation). During pregnancy, women will undergo standard clinical evaluation and management. During the two study visits (enrollment and 24+0 - 27+6 weeks of gestation) the investigators will perform arterial tonometry (Pulsepen) and in vivo darkfield microscopy (Glycocheck) to evaluate endothelial and vascular function. A urine sample and a blood sample for specific study analyses on metabolic profile, endothelial and angiogenic markers will be collected. Pregnancy outcomes will be collected at delivery and five years after delivery all the participants will be interview to collect long-term cardiovascular outcomes. Serum endothelial and angiogenic markers will be evaluated only in participants who will develop hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and in an equal number of controls matched for age and body mass index at the time of conception.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary aim: To determine the role of the combination of arterial tonometry and endothelial glycocalyx measurement in predicting the risk of developing hypertensive disorders in pregnancy. Secondary aims: - To determine the association between circulating markers of angiogenesis and endothelial dysfunction (ANG-1, ANG-2, ET-1, ICAM-1 and VCAM-1) and the development of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. - To define the trends of serum uric acid, lipids and xanthine oxidase activity in normotensive and hypertensive pregnancies. - To determine the ability of the combination of arterial tonometry and endothelial glycocalyx measurement, performed in the two study visits during pregnancy, in predicting the risk of long-term maternal cardiovascular disease. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
