Follow up Study to Assess Long Term Safety and Outcomes in Infants and Children Born to Mothers Participating in Retosiban Treatment Studies

Overview

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and outcomes of infants and children who were exposed to retosiban or comparator in utero in the Phase III spontaneous preterm labor (SPTL) treatment studies, to provide assurance that treatment is not associated with significant adverse outcomes in early childhood. The enrolled infants and children will be followed at pre-specified intervals until they reach 24 months chronological age. This study does not require medical interventions or study visits to an investigational site, instead, parents or legal guardians will be prompted at certain time points to complete developmental questionnaires and other data on their children's health status via an electronic device. Data collected during the infant and child follow up study will be managed by a centralized research coordinating center (RCC). Regionally based pediatricians will serve as study principal investigators (referred to as RCC-PIs) for this study. All communications the RCC-PI has with the parent/legal guardian or the child's health care provider (HCP) will occur remotely; there will be no clinic visits.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Number of Infants and Children With Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (After 28 Days Post Estimated Date of Delivery)
    • Time Frame: From 28 days post estimated date of delivery up to 24 months
    • The parents of the infants filled in an online child health inventory (CHI) questionnaire, which asked them about each condition. If they reported anything, it was then verified by a healthcare professional. Number of infants and children with newly diagnosed chronic medical conditions are presented.
  • Number of Infants and Children With Newly Diagnosed Congenital Anomalies (After 28 Days Post Estimated Date of Delivery)
    • Time Frame: From 28 days post estimated date of delivery up to 24 months
    • A congenital anomaly is a condition present at birth that results from malformation, deformation, or disruption in 1 or more parts of the body, a chromosomal abnormality, or a known clinical syndrome. Congenital anomaly serious adverse events (SAEs) were examined by the birth defect evaluator. Events were coded per centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) Metropolitan Atlanta congenital defects program (MACDP) criteria and/or European surveillance of congenital anomalies (EUROCAT) criteria. Predefined defect codes specified whether the defect was face and neck, a cleft lip or palate, cardiovascular, respiratory, upper gastrointestinal, female genitalia, male genitalia, renal and urinary system, other musculoskeletal defects, skin, a chromosome anomaly, other organ systems, or a specified syndrome. Number of infants and children with newly diagnosed congenital anomalies reported up to 1 year of chronological age and reported after 1 year of chronological age are presented.
  • Number of Infant and Child Death (After 28 Days Post Estimated Date of Delivery)
    • Time Frame: From 28 days post estimated date of delivery up to 24 months

  • Number of Infants With a Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5 to 5 Years (CBCL/1.5 to 5) Score Above the 97th Percentile for a Subset of Prespecified Questions That Relate to Attention and Hyperactivity Problems
    • Time Frame: At 24 months
    • The CBCL/1.5 to 5 questionnaire is a parent-completed questionnaire used for assessing behavioral problems and social competencies. It included approximately 100 items that described specific kinds of behavioral, emotional, and social problems that characterized preschool children between the ages of 1.5 and 5 years. Each question could be answered as “not true scored as”0”,somewhat or sometimes true scored as”1″or very true or often true scored as “2”. There were 6 questions related to attention and hyperactivity problems. The responses to those 6 questions were summed (ranged 0 to 12). Total score of 0 to 9 indicated normal, 10 indicated borderline and 11 to 12 indicated significant attention and hyperactivity problems. Scores above the 97th percentile are in the significant range of clinical concern. Number of infants with CBCL/1.5 to 5 score above 97th percentile for subset of pre-specified questions related to attention and hyperactivity problems at 24 months is reported.

The M-CHAT-R/F consisted of 20 questions that were answered with either “yes, scored as 0” or “no, scored as 1”. Total scores (ranged 0 to 20) on the M-CHAT-R/F between 0 and 2 indicated a low risk, scores between 3 and 7 indicated a medium risk and triggered administration of the follow-up questionnaire, and scores between 8 and 20 indicated a high risk. Number of infants who needed further evaluation as per the M-CHAT-R/F at 18 and 24 months is presented.
  • Number of Infants Referred for Neurological Evaluation to Determine Diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy

If the infant was not diagnosed with cerebral palsy, then this was detected as part of the ASQ-3 assessment, based on the results of the gross motor scale. To confirm the diagnosis of cerebral palsy, the healthcare practitioner referred the infant for further neurological tests if they scored in the black zone of the ASQ-3 at the month 24 assessment. Number of infants referred for neurological evaluation to determine diagnosis of cerebral palsy at 24 months is presented.
  • Number of Infants With the Indicators of Neurodevelopmental Impairment
    • Time Frame: Up to 24 months
