Scientists hunt for hidden clues to stop a deadly pregnancy complication
NCT ID NCT06232668
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to find early molecular signs of preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy condition, by examining tissue from the womb (maternal-fetal interface) collected between weeks 9 and 15 of pregnancy. Researchers will compare samples from women who later develop preeclampsia with those who have healthy pregnancies. The goal is to identify markers that could lead to better screening and prevention strategies.
