About this trial

IMPAACT 2044 is a study to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety of ceftriaxone and benzathine penicillin G during pregnancy. Up to 78 pregnant women receiving (1) ceftriaxone for indications other than syphilis or (2) benzathine penicillin G for treatment of syphilis from non-study clinical care providers will be enrolled at study sites located in the United States. Approximately 22 infants of pregnant participants receiving benzathine penicillin G will also be enrolled.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Is of legal age or circumstance to provide independent informed consent as determined by site standard operating procedures (SOPs) and consistent with Institutional Review Board (IRB) policies and procedures and is willing and able to provide written informed consent for her own and, if applicable (Arm 2), her infant's study participation

At screening, has a viable singleton intrauterine pregnancy of any gestational age confirmed by fetal ultrasound, as determined by the site investigator based on medical records, with trimester documented based on the best available obstetric estimate

Ceftriaxone: IV or IM administration for an indication other than syphilis

Benzathine penicillin G: IM administration for treatment of syphilis

Disqualifiers

Previously enrolled in this study

Requires desensitization to ceftriaxone or benzathine penicillin G as determined by the site investigator based on pregnant participant report and available medical records

Current indication for hemodialysis

Current indication for intensive care unit hospitalization

Trial population

Women receiving or expecting to receive ceftriaxone for indications other than syphilis or benzathine penicillin G for treatment of syphilis during pregnancy in the United States (US). The infants of pregnant participants receiving benzathine penicillin G will also be enrolled.
