E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Our aim is to determine a Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PkPd) based dosing model for nicardipine used for treatment of severe hypertension in preeclamptic patients. The model is based upon determination of maternal, fetal and neonatal plasma levels of nicardipine, and the corresponding changes in maternal haemodynamic parameters after administration of nicardipine. |
Het doel van deze studie is het ontwikkelen van een doserings schema gebaseerd op pharmacokinetisch/pharmacodynamisch (PkPd) parameters. Het model is gebaseerd op bepalen van maternale, foetale en neonatale plasma spiegels van nicardipine, gecombineerd met de veranderingen in haemodynamische parameters na toediening van nicardipine. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Maternal first half life (1st 24 hours after initiation), second half life (24hours after administration), distribution half time, elimination half time, assessing risk of accumulation. Changes in blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, cardiac index, stroke volume, peripheral resistance, and NT-proBNP values after administration of nicardipine. |
Maternale 1e halfwaarde tijd ( 1e 24 uur na starten van de therapie), 2e halfwaarde tijd (na 24uur na starten therapie), distributie halfwaarde tijd, eliminatie halfwaarde tijd, schatting risico op accumulatie. Veranderingen in bloeddruk, hartslag, cardiac output, slagvolume, perifere vaatweerstand en bepalen NT-proBNP waarde na toediening van nicardipine. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
A blank blood sample will be obtained before the start of nicardipine infusion and just before each dosage change. After initiation of nicardipine therapy and following each dosage change 1 ml blood will be drawn at 15 min, 30 min, 1 hour and 2 hours. After target blood pressure is reached 1mL blood will be withdrawn every 6 hours from the arterial catheter until 48 hours after each dosage adjustment or until the end of infusion.One mL blood will be sampled 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after termination of nicardipine infusion. Just before delivery 1mL blood will be withdrawn. Haemodynamic monitoring is continuous. NT-proBNP will be taken before initiation, during steady state, before delivery, post delivery and 6 months post partum. |
Bloedmonsters worden afgenomen voor start nicardipine en voor iedere dosis verandering. Na start en na iedere dosis veranderingen wordt bloed afgenomen na 15, 30min, 1 en 2uur. Indien streefbloeddruk behaald is wordt bloed afgenomen elke 6uur gedurende maximaal 48uur. Na beeindigen van nicardipine infusie wordt bloedafgenomen na 1,2,4,8,12,24 en 48uur. Net voor de bevalling wordt bloedafgenomen. Haemodynamische monitoring is continue. NT-proBNP bepalingen worden gedaan voor start nicardipine, tijdens stabiele situatie, net voor de partus, net na de partus en 6 maanden post partum. |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Determine concentration gradient to breastmilk. Determine pharmacokinetic parameters in the neonate and if appropriate correlate neonatal pharmacokinetic parameters to neonatal pharmacodynamic changes. Exploring haemodynamic changes in preeclamptic patients with severe hypertension and exploring the haemodynamic transfer to normal in the puerperium. |
Bepalen concentratie gradient naar borstvoeding. Bepalen pharmacokinetische kenmerken bij de neonaat en, indien mogelijk, bepalen van de correlatie tussen pharmacokinetsiche en farmacodynamische parameters bij de neonaat. Onderzoeken van haemodynamische veranderingen ten gevolge van preeclampsie gecompliceerd door ernstige hypertensie. Onderzoeken van haemodynamische veranderingen naar normaal in het kraambed. |

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
After delivery breast milk is collected with a maximum of one sample per day with a maximum period of 72 hours. After cord clamping both arterial and venous cord samples (1mL) are taken. A maximum of 3% of the total neonatal circulating volume will be used for this research with blood samples equally distributed in the sample period. The maximum period of neonatal blood sampling is 72 hours. In this period 3 to maximal 6 samples will be taken depending on the weight of the neonate. Haemodynamic parameters will be taken 3 and 6 months post delivery and single measurements will be done in the control group A blood sample for measurement of NT-proBNP will be taken 3 and 6 months post partum and in the control group. |
Na de bevalling wordt borstvoeding verzameld (1 sample per dag) gedurende maximaal 72uur. Na afklemmen van de navelstreng wordt veneus en arterieel bloed afgenomen. Bij de neonaat wordt maximaal 3% van het circulerend volume afgenomen voor dit onderzoek gedurende een maximale periode van 72uur. In deze periode worden maximaal 3 to 6 samples afgenomen afhankelijk van het gewicht van de neonaat. haemodynamische parameters worden bepaald 3 en 6 maanden post partum en een enkele meting wordt gedaan in de controle groep. NT-pronBNP bepaling wordt gedaan eenmalig 3 en 6 maanden post partum en eenmalig in de controle groep. |
