NCT ID NCT04979312
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study is testing a device called LabClasp that measures blood sugar without needles. Researchers want to see if regular, non-invasive glucose checks can help predict gestational diabetes and preeclampsia in pregnant women. The study plans to enroll 100 women with at least one risk factor for gestational diabetes, but it is currently suspended.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LabClasp (non-invasive glucose monitoring device)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple, needle-free way to predict gestational diabetes and preeclampsia early in pregnancy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (100 participants) that is currently suspended, so results are uncertain. The device's accuracy and real-world usefulness are not yet proven.
