- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: Prevention of congenital CMV infection in infants of mothers with primary CMV infection during pregnancy. The number (percentage) of newborns/foetuses with congenital CMV infection is defined as the primary efficacy paramter.;Secondary Objective: As most important secondary efficacy endpoints CMV specific IgG serum concentration in maternal blood, ultrasound abnormalities of the foetus and CMV-related clinical symptoms in the infant will be evaluated.;Primary end point(s): Number of CMV infected newborns/foetuses at birth from seroconverted mothers as confirmed by CMV-DNA using PCR in urinanalysis within 7 days after birth or (additionally) CMV-DNA using PCR of amniotic fluid.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: n.a.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Mother: CMV IgG serum level (recombinant blot with avidity / anti-HCMV rec. gB IgG ELISA)<br>Foetus: ultrasound abnormalities (EFSUMB level II/III)<br>Newborn: CMV-related clinical symptoms (feature/number/severity of abnormalities and clinically relevant laboratory findings)<br>;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: n.a.
