NCT ID NCT07765784

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

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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study looks at whether the weight of the placenta, and its size relative to the baby's birth weight, can help predict low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) in newborns during the first 24 hours after birth. The study will include about 98 infants born at 35 weeks or later to mothers with gestational diabetes. Researchers will measure the infants' blood glucose levels at several time points after birth and compare these to placental measurements to see if there is a link.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Blood glucose level measurement
What this could lead to
If placental weight predicts newborn hypoglycemia, it could help identify at-risk infants earlier and guide monitoring after birth.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study. The predictive value may be limited, and results may not apply to all populations.
