The present survey was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GB-0998(immunoglobulin) in the treatment of unexplained recurrent miscarriage in comparison to placebo using a multicenter, double-blind, intergroup comparison method.
Among the patients whose risk factors for recurrent miscarriage are unknown who repeatedly miscarry or patients who repeatedly miscarry despite treatment for risk factors, those who have never given birth and have had four or more miscarriages. Patients were assigned into two groups, GB-0998 or placebo, and received 8 ml/kg body weight of GB-0998 (400 mg/kg body weight) or placebo once a day for 5 days. The primary efficacy endpoint was ongoing pregnancy rate at 22 weeks of gestation (excluding miscarriages associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities) and one of the secondary endpoint was live birth rate.

Ongoing pregnancy rate (excluding miscarriages associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities)
To evaluate the effectiveness of the drug in preventing miscarriages, we examined the ongoing pregnancy rate at 22 weeks and 0 days of gestation in cases excluding cases of fetal chromosome aberration miscarriages.
Time frame: At 22 weeks of gestation
Ongoing pregnancy rate(all patients)
To evaluate the effectiveness of the drug in preventing miscarriages, we examined the ongoing pregnancy rate at 22 weeks and 0 days of gestation in all patients.
Time frame: At 22 weeks of gestation
Live birth rate (excluding miscarriages associated with fetal chromosomal abnormalities)
To evaluate the effectiveness of the drug in total outcome of pregnancy, we examined the live birth rate in cases excluding cases of fetal chromosome aberration miscarriages.
Time frame: At the time of birth
Live birth rate(all patients)
To evaluate the effectiveness of the drug in total outcome of pregnancy, we examined the live birth rate in all patients.
Time frame: At the time of birth
