Placenta study aims to unlock drug safety in pregnancy
NCT ID NCT04400084
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study uses placentas donated after childbirth to measure how drugs pass from mother to fetus. Researchers will perfuse the placenta in a lab to calculate drug transfer rates. The goal is to fill a gap in knowledge about medication safety during pregnancy, since pregnant women are often excluded from drug trials. Up to 2,000 women with normal pregnancies will participate.
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 doctors understand which drugs are safe during pregnancy and how they affect the fetus.
What could go wrong
This is an ex vivo lab study using placentas after birth, not a treatment trial. Results may not fully predict real-life drug effects in pregnant women.
