Trial Outcomes

Mean Change in Maternal Hemoglobin From 14 to 32 Weeks Gestation

Hemoglobin concentration in a venous blood sample collected at 14 and 32 weeks gestation was measured using a multi-analyte analyzer. Each participant's change in hemoglobin concentration between the two timepoints was determined, and the mean and standard deviation for each group calculated. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 14 weeks and 32 weeks gestation

Interventiongrams/deciliter (Mean)
Placebo Control at 12-16 Weeks Gestation-0.42
Praziquantel at 12-16 Weeks Gestation-0.44

Mean Change in Maternal Thigh Skinfold Thickness From 14 to 32 Weeks Gestation

Maternal fat stores were measured by thigh skinfold thickness obtained using a Holtain skinfold caliper. The thickness increase from 14 to 32 weeks was determined for each participant, and the mean and standard deviation calculated. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 14 and 32 weeks gestation

Interventionmillimeters (Mean)
Placebo Control at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.08
Praziquantel at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.08

Mean Change in Maternal Weight From 14 to 32 Weeks Gestation

Maternal weight gain was assessed by measuring participants' weight in kilograms. The weight increase from 14 to 32 weeks was determined for each participant, and the mean and standard deviation calculated. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 14 and 32 weeks gestation

Interventionkilograms (Mean)
Placebo Control at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.33
Praziquantel at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.32

Mean Newborn Birth Weight

Birth weight was collected for live infants at the time of delivery by a trained midwife, or within 24 hours of delivery for participants who chose to deliver at home with a helot, a birth attendant without formal training. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: Within 24 hours of delivery.

Interventionkilograms (Mean)
Placebo Control at 12-16 Weeks Gestation2.85
Praziquantel at 12-16 Weeks Gestation2.85

Median Change in Maternal Transferrin Receptor:Ferritin Ratio From 14 to 32 Weeks Gestation

To assess total body iron, one needs to assess the storage compartment, which will contain sequestered iron, and the functional compartment, which represents bioavailable iron. Body iron status is defined by the two laboratory measurements that reflect these compartments, ferritin and serum transferrin receptor. The serum transferrin receptor:ferritin ratio has been shown in quantitative phlebotomy studies to provide an accurate assessment of total body iron over the entire range of status. At 14 and 32 weeks gestation, a blood sample was collected for assessment of total body iron by determination of the transferrin receptor:ferritin ratio. Each participant's change in ratio was calculated, and the median and interquartile range were determined for each group. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 14 weeks and 32 weeks gestation

Interventionratio (Median)
Placebo Control at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.0
Praziquantel at 12-16 Weeks Gestation0.0

Median Maternal Hepcidin at 32 Weeks Gestation

Anemia of inflammation was assessed via maternal urine hepcidin levels. In response to inflammation, elevated serum levels of hepcidin is synthesized. Hepcidin causes sequestration of iron from bio-available forms to storage forms such as ferritin and decreases intestinal absorption of iron. Hepcidin was measured in participants' urine at 32 weeks gestation. (NCT00486863)

Number of Participants Experiencing Fetal Loss by Abortion

Abortion was defined by the protocol as bleeding followed by fetal loss as supported by ultrasound before 20 weeks gestation. Abortion was an important safety outcome measure due to the fact that abortion would occur closer to the time of dosing than miscarriage or stillbirth. Participants were observed in hospital for 24 hours after dosing and asked to return for any bleeding at any time. (NCT00486863)

Number of Participants With Pre-eclampsia

Participants were assessed for the presence of pre-eclampsia at both the 22 and 32 week visits. Pre-eclampsia was defined by the presence of proteinurea (2+ protein on urine dipstick) and a single diastolic blood pressure reading of 100 millimiters of mercury (mm Hg) or above OR more than one reading, four hours apart, of 90 mm Hg or above.

4-hydroxy Praziquantel Pharmacokinetic Concentrations

Since pregnancy is associated with increased cytochrome P450 activity and physiologic changes in the gastrointestinal tract that tend to reduce drug absorption, praziquantel pharmacokinetics may be affected by pregnancy. Thus, the metabolite-to-parent drug ratio may serve as a differential marker to help determine if variability in drug exposure following oral administration during pregnancy is due to altered metabolism or drug absorption. Samples that were collected from subjects who were randomized to receive praziquantel were analyzed for praziquantel and 4-hydroxy praziquantel concentrations. Assays were performed using high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry in the University of California at San Diego Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory. Descriptive statistics were obtained for concentrations at each of the four sparse sampling timepoints. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 4.5 and 8 hours after the first praziquantel dose (subjects assigned to an even study number) or 6 and 10 hours after the first praziquantel dose (subjects assigned to an odd study number).

Number of Participants Reporting Abnormalities in Clinical Chemistry Assessments Within 24 Hours of Dosing

Toxicity to maternal kidney and liver was assessed by laboratory parameters collected just before and 24 hours after dosing. Specifically, blood was drawn just before the dose at 12-16 weeks gestation to determine baseline blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and bilirubin. Blood was then drawn 24 hours after the second part of the split dose and before discharge from the hospital to assess any changes in these parameters. Any values that were 1.1 times the upper limit of normal or greater for the parameter were considered abnormal. (NCT00486863)

Number of Participants Reporting Abnormalities in Hematology Assessments Within 24 Hours of Dosing

Toxicity to maternal bone marrow, kidney, and liver was assessed by laboratory parameters collected just before and 24 hours after dosing. Specifically, blood was drawn just before the dose at 12-16 weeks gestation to determine baseline complete blood count, including white blood count (WBC), platelets, and hemoglobin. Blood was then drawn 24 hours after the second part of the split dose and before discharge from the hospital to assess any changes in these parameters. White blood count was abnormal at or above 10,800 or at or below 3500 cells/square millimeter (sq mm), platelets were abnormal at or below 140,000 cells/sq mm, and hemoglobin was abnormal at or below 10.9 grams/deciliter (g/dL).

Praziquantel Pharmacokinetic Concentrations

Two plasma samples were collected during the overnight hospitalization from approximately 200 subjects that remained at the time of study modification to incorporate PK studies. Subjects had samples collected based on one of two sample collection strategies: 4.5 and 8 hr after the first praziquantel dose or 6 and 10 hr after the first praziquantel dose. Subjects randomized to an even study number were assigned to the 4.5 and 8 hour schedule. Subjects randomized to an odd study number were assigned to the 6 and 10 hour schedule. Samples only from subjects randomized to receive praziquantel were analyzed for praziquantel. Samples drawn from subjects randomized to the control group were not analyzed. Praziquantel concentrations (ng/ml) were assayed using high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry in the University of California at San Diego Pediatric Clinical Pharmacology Laboratory. (NCT00486863)
Timeframe: 4.5 and 8 hours after the first praziquantel dose (subjects assigned to an even study number) or 6 and 10 hours after the first praziquantel dose (subjects assigned to an odd study number).
