New clues in preterm birth: protein study may help predict dangerous membrane rupture
NCT ID NCT06639919
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 36 pregnant women to understand why the membranes around the baby break too early (PPROM). Researchers measured certain proteins called syndecans in the mother's blood and in the placenta and amniotic membrane after birth. The goal was to find clues that could lead to better prediction or prevention of this condition.
