First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aimed to find the best time (between 37 and 39 weeks of pregnancy) to deliver babies of women with poorly controlled gestational diabetes. Researchers planned to enroll up to 3,450 pregnant women but stopped early with 304 participants. The goal was to see which delivery timing led to the fewest health problems for newborns.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors decide the safest time to deliver babies when the mother has gestational diabetes, reducing newborn complications.
What could go wrong
The trial was terminated early and enrolled only 304 out of a planned 3,450 participants, so results may be limited and not conclusive.
