About this study
Official title: Cardiometabolic Disease, Substrate Metabolism, and Abnormal Placental Pathology: a Multimodal Maternal-Fetal Study
This study's primary purpose is to determine the potential relationship between cardiometabolic disease, specifically insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and maternal lipid oxidation.
Read the detailed description
Cardiometabolic disease such as pre-eclampsia (PreE) and gestational diabetes (GDM) affect close to 15% of pregnancies and are a major cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Much of the clinical data surrounding these disorders focuses on management during pregnancy and counseling regarding risks of continued cardiometabolic dysfunction after pregnancy. Data are much more limited regarding assessing and managing cardiometabolic dysfunction leading into or early in pregnancy. Furthermore, there are even less data describing metabolic dysfunction outside of GDM and PreE as relate to future cardiometabolic risk.
The standard of care of assessing metabolic dysfunction during pregnancy, specifically gestational diabetes, is a two-step glucose challenge approach. Outside of pregnant populations, metabolic dysfunction is assessed from a more holistic approach including assessment of insulin, lactate, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VDRL, cholesterol and free fatty acids.
Data are currently lacking on substrate metabolism other than glucose in pregnancy. There are some data that describe maternal lipid metabolism in pregnancy, but most of these data focus on lipid metabolism as it relates to fetal growth and fat mass, but none describe substrate metabolism as it relates to development of maternal disease such as insulin resistance.
Additionally, the placenta is an extremely metabolically active organ that responds to changes in maternal stress. There is evidence in animal studies that the placenta can alter transportation of carbohydrates, lipids and amnio acids in response to changes in heat, undernutrition, hypoglycemia and glucocorticoid administration.
Traditional hypotheses regarding development of cardiometabolic disease in pregnancy surrounded topics such as abnormal placentation, dysfunctional spiral arteries and hormones such as human placental lactogen. Outside of pregnancy, studies have shown that endothelial dysfunction has been linked to cardiometabolic disease due to its role in regulating vascular tone and glycolysis. Furthermore, there is evidence to support that gestational diabetes is a risk factor for development of endothelial dysfunction; however, in vivo endothelial dysfunction in GDM is not well explored. While there are data that describe endothelial dysfunction in pregnancy as it relates to pre-eclampsia, most studies describe indirect measures of endothelial dysfunction using proteins such as VEGF, PLGF, and SFLT1.
The metabolic profiles in pregnant people at risk for cardiometabolic disease has not been explored heavily. By assessing both maternal substrate metabolism as well as placental function and pathology, we hope to better understand disease from the lens of not just the maternal but also the fetal and placental unit. Therefore, this study seeks to evaluate the relationship between substrate metabolism of pregnant individuals as it relates to their development of cardiometabolic disease in pregnancy with hopes for more translational research to design better targeted therapies.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Preeclampsia and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM), run by University of Tennessee Graduate School of Medicine at 1 site in United States.
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 7 inclusion and 14 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 May 2026. 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 United States. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jill M Maples, PhD (865-305-9367, jmaples1@utmck.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Early Pregnancy Fasting Insulin (mIU/mL) (time frame: Fasting, at the beginning of a single study visit between 12-18 weeks gestational age). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 May 2026.
