Oxford study aims to predict pre-eclampsia before it strikes
NCT ID NCT07072052
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study from the University of Oxford will follow 360 pregnant women to see if hormone levels and ultrasound images from the first 8 weeks can predict pre-eclampsia. Pre-eclampsia is a dangerous complication that affects many pregnancies worldwide. The goal is to find early warning signs so doctors can intervene sooner.
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 lead to a simple early-pregnancy test to identify women at risk of pre-eclampsia, enabling earlier monitoring or preventive treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not find strong links between the markers and pre-eclampsia, and any future test would need further validation.
