About this trial

The objective of this study is to investigate the hypothesis that delivery at 35 0/7- 35 6/7 weeks in stable patients with gastroschisis is superior to observation and expectant management with a goal of delivery at 38 0/7 - 38 6/7 weeks. To test this hypothesis, we will complete a randomized, prospective, multi-institutional trial across NAFTNet-affiliated institutions. Patients may be enrolled in the study any time prior to 33 weeks, but will be randomized at 33 weeks to delivery at 35 weeks or observation with a goal of 38 weeks. The primary composite outcome will include stillbirth, neonatal death prior to discharge, respiratory morbidity, and need for parenteral nutrition at 30 days.

Disqualifiers

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Comparison of the proportion of the primary composite outcome (occurrence of any of the 3 clinical risks: IUFD, neonatal death, and sepsis) between groups as estimated from the ITT population.

The primary outcome is the composite endpoint combining the following three clinical risks: (1) intrauterine fetal demise, (2) neonatal/infant death prior to neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) discharge, (3) sepsis. The probability of the composite endpoint will be compared between groups as defined by the ITT population using a one-sided test at a 2.3% nominal significance level for the alternative hypothesis that the experimental early delivery group has lower probability of the composite endpoint compared to term delivery group. The nominal significance level will be adjusted based on the timing of the interim analysis if different from the original plan. The Wald test for two proportions will be used. We will report the estimated difference in the probabilities along with the Wald confidence interval using the nominal significance level.

Time frame
Date of consent until NICU Discharge. Discharge dates for patients vary and depend on each individual's recovery progress, medical needs, and overall condition. In general, this entire time frame can take up to 30 weeks.
