What is being measured

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

  1. Bi-parietal diameter in mm.

    The bi-parietal diameter in mm will be obtained with three methods: (1) fully automated 3D volume processing and caliper placement, (2) manual 3D volume processing and caliper placement, (3) manual selection of the 2D view plane and manual caliper placement on the screen of the ultrasound system (corresponding to standard of care measurements). The values obtained with the three methods and the differences between these values will be reported.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D volume acquisitions and 2D standard measurements and 3D volumes acquisitions in people with Pregnancy Related, run by Philips Clinical & Medical Affairs Global at 1 site in France.

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 4 inclusion and 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2023. 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 France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Bi-parietal diameter in mm. (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03812471, 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 14 Apr 2023.
