Brief summary

The aim of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of Roledumab 300μg IM / IV in RhD-negative pregnant women carrying an RhD-positive foetus. To assess the safety of Roledumab in RhD-negative pregnant women and in RhD-positive fetus and newborns. In addition the efficacy of Roledumab 300μg IM and IV to prevent RhD alloimmunisation in RhD-negative pregnant women carrying an RhD-positive fetus and the immunogenicity of Roledumab will be assessed.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
IM Arm Roledumab
Roledumab Open-label IM Dosage and frequency of administration: * Planned antenatal prophylaxis: A single dose of 300 µg IM of Roledumab at 28 or 29 weeks of gestation. * Antenatal prophylaxis following sensitizing events: One or more dose(s) of 300μg IM anti-RhD antibodies (Rhophylac or Roledumab) based on the Kleihauer-test as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours after event occurrence. * Postnatal prophylaxis: Roledumab should be administered to the mother as soon as possible within 72 hours of delivery of an RhD positive infant. The postnatal dose must still be given even when antenatal prophylaxis has been administered. Before Roledumab 300μg IM postnatal administration, a Kleihauer-Betke test will be performed on maternal blood sample taken no earlier than 30 min after delivery in order to determine the volume of foetomaternal hemorrhage

IV Arm Roledumab
Roledumab Open-label IV Dosage and frequency of administration: * Planned antenatal prophylaxis: A single dose of 300 µg IV of Roledumab at 28 or 29 weeks of gestation. * Antenatal prophylaxis following sensitizing events: One or more dose(s) of 300μg IV anti-RhD antibodies (Rhophylac or Roledumab) based on the Kleihauer-test as soon as possible and no later than 72 hours after event occurrence. * Postnatal prophylaxis: Roledumab should be administered to the mother as soon as possible within 72 hours of delivery of an RhD positive infant. The postnatal dose must still be given even when antenatal prophylaxis has been administered. Before Roledumab 300μg IV postnatal administration, a Kleihauer-Betke test will be performed on maternal blood sample taken no earlier than 30 min after delivery in order to determine the volume of foetomaternal hemorrhage.
