Could a simple swab predict preterm delivery?
NCT ID NCT07307365
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing a new kit called PremaSure that uses a vaginal swab to predict if a pregnant woman with symptoms will deliver early. Researchers will check how accurate the test is by comparing its results to whether women give birth within 7 or 14 days. The goal is to see if women can use this test themselves to quickly know their risk.
