Study summary

This study will assess the feasibility of Vanadis NIPT for screening of T21, T18 and T13. The results obtained from Vanadis NIPT will be compared with the study site's current prenatal screening methods. The primary objectives are: 1) To assess the feasibility of Vanadis NIPT for screening of T21, T18 and T13 in the maternal healthcare setting, 2) To assess preliminary performance of Vanadis NIPT for screening of T21 in comparison to site's routine screening methods i.e. combined and integrated tests, and 3) To evaluate preliminary cost effectiveness of Vanadis NIPT use in different models. The secondary objective is to assess the feasibility of Vanadis NIPT regarding determination of fetal sex.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assess preliminary performance of Vanadis NIPT for screening of T21 in comparison to site's routine screening methods i.e. combined and integrated tests

    Time frame: Three weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Assess the feasibility of Vanadis NIPT for screening of T21, T18 and T13 in comparison to fetal karyotype from invasive testing, and by evaluating overall usability of the test in routine laboratory work.

    Evaluation includes the follow up for each woman and matching the results of combined and integrated test and with the results of NIPT and karyotype. Feasibility will be assessed by determining the concordance between chromosomal abnormalities determined by Vanadis NIPT and trisomies confirmed by karyotype analysis, and by assessing the overall usability in the public healthcare setting by evaluating e.g. turnaround time and user friendliness.

    Time frame: Three weeks

  2. Evaluate preliminary cost effectiveness of Vanadis NIPT by evaluating resources, false positive rates and detection rates

    Cost effectiveness will be evaluated when the test is offered to all women or only women with T21 risk between 1:100 and 1:2500 or between 1:11 and 1:1000, or alternatively to 3000 or 10000 women annually. Cost effectiveness will be assessed by taking into account the costs of NIPT, combined test, invasive procedure, fetal karyotype and counselling, the potential benefits (rate of reduction of invasive procedures, miscarriages, births with trisomy 21) and births with chromosomal diseases undetectable with NIPT.

    Time frame: Three weeks

  3. Assess feasibility of Vanadis NIPT regarding determination of fetal sex by comparing the Vanadis NIPT result with the fetal karyotype from invasive testing

    Time frame: Three weeks

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Apr 2020, 22 months after the start.

Of 55 observational studies under Down Syndrome, half reached primary completion within 34 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 19 and three quarters within 80. This study's planned 22 months is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 29, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
