NCT ID NCT07811050

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 This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

Researchers at Assiut University are studying whether two ultrasound measures of fetal heart function and blood flow can predict poor outcomes in pregnancies complicated by diabetes or preeclampsia. The study enrolls 69 pregnant women, including those with gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and healthy controls. The team measures the fetal modified myocardial performance index and the cerebroplacental-uterine ratio to see how well these indices forecast problems such as fetal distress, low Apgar scores, or neonatal death.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
fetal modified myocardial performance index and cerebroplacental-uterine ratio measured by ultrasound
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give doctors a more reliable ultrasound tool to spot fetal distress earlier in pregnancies complicated by diabetes or preeclampsia, helping them time care and delivery.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study at one center, so the findings may not hold in other hospitals or populations. Ultrasound measurements can vary between operators, and the study cannot prove that acting on these indices improves outcomes.

Who can take part

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

Who is studied

Participants will be divided into three primary arms: 1. Diabetes Mellitus (DM): further stratified into gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and pregestational diabetes mellitus. 2. Preeclampsia (PET): late onset preeclampsia will included. 3. Healthy Controls: Singleton pregnancies with no maternal or fetal complications.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Accepted

You do not need to have the condition being studied to take part.
