Trial summary

The finding that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is increased in pre-eclamptic pregnancy suggests a role for IMA as a potential biomarker for abnormal placental development related to miscarriage.This study was undertaken to evaluate IMA levels in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

About this study

The finding that ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is increased in pre-eclamptic pregnancy suggests a role for IMA as a potential biomarker for abnormal placental development related to miscarriage.This study was undertaken to evaluate IMA levels in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL).

Read the detailed description

Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) measured by the albumin cobalt binding test is a relatively new biomarker in the identification of myocardial ischemia. Experimental studies have shown that pregnancies normally develop in a relatively hypoxic intrauterine environment, and the subsequent reperfusion and oxidative stress is important for physiological trophoblast development. The finding that maternal serum IMA levels are raised so early in pregnancy provides further support for IMA as a potential marker for abnormal placental development that may be related to early pregnancy loss. In this study, we aimed to evaluate maternal circulating IMA levels in women with RPL by comparing them with healthy controls.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of First Trimester Pregnancy and Fetal Heart Activity Absent, run by Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact hediye dağdeviren, md (5079872463, hediyedagdeviren@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

first trimester pregnant women (time frame: under 14 w gestation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01988740, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Nov 2013.
