Official title
Multicenter, Open-Label, Randomized Study of Nipocalimab or IVIG in Pregnancies At Risk of Fetal and Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (FNAIT)
Overview
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of nipocalimab in reducing the risk of severe fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT).
Interventions
- Drug Nipocalimab
Nipocalimab will be administered intravenously. - Drug Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG)
IVIG will be administered intravenously. - Drug Prednisone
Prednisone will be administered orally.
Primary outcome measures
- Fetus/Neonate with Outcome of Death or Adjudicated Severe Bleeding or Platelet Count Less Than (<) 30*10^9/L [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Platelet Count at Birth in a Neonate [Time frame: At birth]
- Neonate/Fetus with Outcome of Death [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Neonate with Platelet Count at Birth <10*10^9/L [Time frame: At birth]
- Neonate with Platelet Count at Birth <30*10^9/L [Time frame: At birth]
- Neonate with Platelet Count at Birth <50*10^9/L [Time frame: At birth]
- Neonate with Platelet Count at Birth <150*10^9/L [Time frame: At birth]
- Nadir Platelet Count in a Neonate [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Neonate Requiring Platelet Transfusion [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Number of Platelet Transfusions in Neonate [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Number of Donor Exposures for Platelet Transfusions in Neonate [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Neonate/Fetus With Adjudicated Bleeding [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
- Neonate Requiring Postnatal Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for the Treatment of Thrombocytopenia [Time frame: Up to 1 Week post birth]
