Experimental womb infusions aim to save babies from fatal kidney condition
NCT ID NCT03101891
Summary
This trial tests an experimental therapy for a severe fetal condition where the baby's kidneys don't work, leaving no protective fluid in the womb. Without treatment, this condition is fatal after birth because the lungs can't develop. The therapy involves carefully placing fluid into the womb during pregnancy to try to help the baby's lungs grow enough for survival. Families who choose to continue the pregnancy can join the study and decide whether to receive these infusions or be monitored closely.
