Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main purpose of the trial is to demonstrate efficacy and safety of Cytotect CP Biotest in preventing maternal-fetal transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV). Primary Objective • To determine the overall rate of maternal-fetal transmission at the time of amniocentesis (week 20 [-1 week / +2 weeks] of gestation) ;Secondary Objective: Efficacy: • To determine the rate of maternal-fetal transmission at the time of amniocentesis (week 20 [-1 week / +2 weeks] of gestation) in the 2 subgroups: o Subjects with periconceptionally acquired infection o Subjects with infection acquired during first trimester • To measure maternal CMV viral load, anti-CMV IgG Levels, anti-CMV IgG avidity, anti-CMV IgM index • To determine soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) concentration in maternal serum • To evaluate vitality and growth of the fetuses/newborns •To evaluate the rate of congenital CMV infection at delivery or within the first 3 days after delivery • To measure the number of CMV-DNA copies in the urine of newborns Safety: Trial Subject • To assess the number, severity, causality, outcome, and seriousness of all adverse events (AEs)/ treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs)/ AEs of special interest until delivery (+3 days) in both mother and fetus/ newborn ;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint is the overall rate of maternal-fetal transmission at the time of amniocentesis.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 20 [- 1 week / +2 weeks] of gestation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Maternal-fetal CMV transmission in the subgroups • CMV viral load (CMV DNA copies/mL) in maternal blood • Anti-CMV IgG levels • Anti-CMV IgG avidity • Detection of CMV IgG and IgM antibodies • Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) / Placental Growth Factor (PlGF) • Vitality, growth and heart rate of the fetus and Apgar-score, head circumference at delivery • CMV-DNA at delivery or within the first 3 days in urine of the newborn;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During pregnancy, at week 20 [- 1 week / +2 weeks] of gestation and at delivery
