What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

Researchers are testing a new maternal fetal monitoring device designed to continuously track the heart rates of both babies in a twin pregnancy. The study enrolls 18 pregnant women carrying twins at 30 weeks or later. Participants wear the investigational monitor while a standard ultrasound imaging device records at the same time, so researchers can compare how well the new device captures two distinct fetal heart rates and the mother's pulse.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
an investigational maternal fetal monitoring device that uses ultrasound to track fetal heart rates
What this could lead to
If it works, the device could give doctors a clearer, continuous picture of both babies' heart rates during twin pregnancies, which may help guide care decisions.
What could go wrong
This is a small device performance study, not a test of whether better monitoring improves outcomes. The device may fail to reliably separate the two babies' heart signals, and the results may not apply to all twin pregnancies.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

18 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jan 2025

Finished

Dec 2025

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Able and willing to provide written informed consent. 2. Twin pregnancy. 3. Aged 18+. 4. Greater than or equal to 30 0/7 weeks gestation. 5. Patient has none of the exclusion criteria. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Non-twin pregnancy. 2. Involvement in another clinical trial currently or previously in this pregnancy that, in the investigator's opinion, would affect the conduct of this study. 3. Medical or obstetric problem that in investigator's opinion would make the patient incapable of taking part in the study. 4. Inability to understand the consent information due to medical illness, diminished intellectual capacity, or insurmountable language barrier.
