Blood protein may hold key to unexplained miscarriages and IVF failures
NCT ID NCT05169541
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether low levels of a protein called mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in the blood are linked to repeated pregnancy loss or failed IVF attempts. Researchers will measure MBL levels in 500 women with these conditions and compare them to the general population. The goal is to see if MBL deficiency is a common factor in unexplained reproductive failure.
What this could mean
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 identify a blood marker to predict reproductive failure risk, guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only measures associations, so it won't directly improve outcomes. Results may not apply to all populations.
