Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Primary endpoint: Negative CMV PCR (<500 IU/ml) in neonatal blood collected in the first day of life or in cord blood at termination of pregnancy","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Negative CMV PCR defined as <500 IU/ml measured in neonatal blood collected on the first day of life or in cord blood at termination of pregnancy (PCR assay threshold <500 IU/ml)."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Secondary objectives: (step 2) The following are to be compared between the 2 arms: -Proportion of asymptomatic neonates\n- Overall growth\n- Proportion of long-term sequelae at 2 years\n- Tolerance of treatment for mothers, fetuses and neonates\n- Adherence to treatment\n- Evolution of ultrasound features between Day0 and Week 2, Week 4, and Week 6 of treatment\n- Changes in cerebral and placental features between Day 1st magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within the first month of inclusion and 2nd MR","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Comparative assessments between study arms using clinical evaluation for symptomatic status, growth measurements, longitudinal follow-up for sequelae at 2 years, safety/tolerability assessments for mothers/fetuses/neonates, treatment adherence measures, serial ultrasound assessments at Day 0, Week 2, Week 4, Week 6, and MRI comparison between the first-month MRI and the second MRI as specified."}

Other endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Post-mortem examination in cases with medical termination of pregnancy (TOP)\n- CMV DNA levels in amniotic fluid and fetal blood (if done) at diagnosis (inclusion); amniotic fluid and saliva at birth; blood at day 3; saliva at day 3 and at M1 with the doctor discretion; urine retrieved in the first 3 days of life; saliva sampled at M6 (+/-2), M12 (+/-3), M18 (+/-3) and M24 (+/-3)\n- Anti-viral Letermovir transfer from mother to fetus\n- Search for mutation(s) in CMV genes associated with Letermovir resistance (UL56 and UL89)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Laboratory measurements: quantitative CMV PCR on specified sample types and timepoints as listed; measurement of letermovir concentrations in maternal and fetal compartments to assess transfer; post-mortem examinations where applicable; genetic sequencing of CMV UL56 and UL89 to search for resistance-associated mutations."}
