Lab study reveals how HIV drug crosses the placenta
NCT ID NCT02020083
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study used donated placentas from 369 pregnant women to understand how the HIV drug tenofovir moves from mother to baby. Researchers used a special lab model that mimics the third trimester of pregnancy. The goal was to see if certain proteins or drug interactions affect how much tenofovir reaches the fetus.
