Scientists map how drugs travel from mother to baby

NCT ID NCT02020083

Summary

This study aimed to understand how a key HIV drug, tenofovir, passes from a pregnant person to the fetus through the placenta. Researchers used a lab model of the placenta to measure this transfer and see if other medications or natural body processes affect it. The goal was to gather knowledge to help optimize drug dosing for preventing mother-to-child HIV transmission.
