About this study

Official title: The Combination of Biochemical Markers and Two and Three Dimensional Ultrasound Using Geometric Morphometrics in the Identification of Congenital Anomalies and Maternal or Fetal Complications

Can a combination of prenatal screening blood tests, early ultrasound, and a 3D ultrasound of the fetal face at approximately 20 weeks gestation identify fetuses with congenital anomalies and predict maternal and fetal complications?

Read the detailed description

Pts will be consented upon presenting to the department for a comprehensive ultrasound.The 3D picture is the only part of the study that is not part of standard obstetrical care.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Correlation of geometric morphometric analysis of fetal brow to 10 soft markers

    In patients who have undergone step-wise sequential screening, how often will the evaluation of 10 midtrimester sonographic soft markers of aneuploidy such that the recommendation regarding invasive diagnostic testing be changed?

    Measured: completion of pregnancy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pregnancy and Fetal Aneuploidy, run by Northwell Health.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: No safety issues. Need to rewrite protocol). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of geometric morphometric analysis of fetal brow to 10 soft markers (time frame: completion of pregnancy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Apr 2015.
