About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia focused on measuring Alloimmune thrombocytopenia, Fetal alloimmune thrombocytopenia

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 50 Years (Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Pregnant women are eligible for inclusion into the Very High Risk Group if they: are PLA-1 (platelet antigen A1) negative and have known platelet incompatibility with their fetus have had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage prior to 28 weeks gestation (as best as could be estimated) are less than 19 weeks gestation Pregnant women are eligible for inclusion into the High Risk Group if they: are PLA-1 negative and have known platelet incompatibility with the fetus have had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage after 28 weeks gestation (as best as could be estimated) are between 12-30 weeks gestation Pregnant women are eligible for inclusion into the Standard Risk Group if they: are PLA-1 negative and have known platelet incompatibility with the fetus have not had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage are between 20-30 weeks gestation Exclusion Criteria: Women are not eligible for inclusion into the Very High Risk Group if they: have had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage after 28 weeks gestation are greater than 19 weeks gestation Women are not eligible for inclusion into the High Risk Group if they: have had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage prior to 28 weeks gestation are greater than 30 weeks gestation Women are not eligible for inclusion into the Standard Risk Group if they: have had a previous child who suffered an antenatal hemorrhage are greater than 30 weeks gestation

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Experimental

Arm Label

IVIG x 2

IVIG x 1 + prednisone

Arm Description

IVIG 2 g/kg/wk divided into 2 infusions per week for women with a fetus affected by FNAIT

IVIG 1 g/kg/wk in 1 infusion per week + prednisone 0.5 mg po daily for women with a fetus affected by FNAIT

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Newborns With a Birth Platelet Count > 50,000/uL
this uses the birth platelet count of the fetuses from the study when they are born

Secondary Outcome Measures

Intracranial Hemorrhage: Number Occurring in Fetuses and Newborns of Mothers in Study
number of ICH assessed by fetal and neonatal ultrasound with MRI back up most commonly in utero so range from 20-40 weeks fo gestation
Number of Fetal Platelet Counts > 50,000/uL
Number of Fetal Platelet Counts > 50,000/uL Among Those Who Underwent Fetal Blood Sampling and Had a Fetal Platelet Count Determined
