50 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine whether oocyte and embryo mechanical properties measured during in vitro fertilization can predict embryo development outcomes and clinical pregnancy.
This study plans to evaluate the clinical performance of the MaterniT21 PLUS and/or GENOME Laboratory Developed Test, in the detection of fetal trisomy 21 in circulating cell-free DNA extracted from maternal blood samples obtained from women pregnant with a twin gestation.
The objectives of the clinical study are to demonstrate the accuracy of our proprietary algorithm method to determine the genetic health of the developing fetuses in a multiple gestation pregnancy from a maternal blood sample. The long term goal of this study will be the development of a method of minimally invasive prenatal diagnosis that has a higher sensitivity and lower false positive rate in the intended population (e.g. multiple gestation pregnancies) than other currently available screening tests. This will result in fewer unnecessary amniocenteses and Chorionic Villus Sample (CVS) procedures, which are associated with a risk of miscarriage.
The objectives of the clinical study are to demonstrate the accuracy of our new NATUS diagnostic method to determine the genetic health of the developing fetuses in a multiple gestation pregnancy from a maternal blood sample. The long term goal of this study will be the development of a method of minimally invasive prenatal diagnosis that has a higher sensitivity and lower false positive rate in the intended population (e.g. multiple gestation pregnancies) than any currently available screening tests. This will result in fewer unnecessary amniocenteses and CVS procedures, which are associated with a risk of miscarriage.
This study will evaluate the clinical performance of massively parallel sequencing (MPS) using the MaterniT21 PLUS LDT in the detection of fetal aneuploidy in circulating cfDNA extracted from a maternal blood sample obtained from women pregnant with a multiple gestation who were at increased risk for fetal aneuploidy.
The purpose of this study is to compare the Monica AN24 fetal monitor to previously FDA approved devices for Fetal Heart Rate and Uterine Contractions in labor for Multiples and pre term labor.
The ZTWINS registry study is an observational, prospective, multi-center study observing women carrying a twin pregnancy who receive snp-based non-invasive prenatal screening and zygosity assessment as part of their medical care.
The purpose of this study is to collect and analyze data regarding natural history, indications for fetal interventions, and maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes associated with complicated monochorionic twin pregnancy.
Human conception in vivo occurs in a complex milieu that includes proteins. It has been speculated that the addition of proteins more complex than human serum albumin to culture media may improve IVF outcomes. Whether the expense, labor and risk of adding additional human-derived protein to IVF media are warranted is a question unanswered. Patients, undergoing routine IVF or ICSI, will be assigned to one of two treatment groups in a randomized, prospective clinical trial . Embryos will be cultured in either media supplemented with human serum albumin (HSA) as a solitary protein supplement or in media supplemented with HSA + SSS from the 2-PN stage until the time of embryo transfer. Clinical endpoints monitored will be implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate. It is expected that the supplementation of commercial embryo culture media containing HSA with the more complex protein source, SSS, will result in an overall increase in implantation, clinical pregnancy, and live birth rates. In the balance, protein enrichment of media may represent opportunities to simultaneously increase the live birth rate and reduce the incidence of multiple gestations.
Hypothesis: Among women with twin or triplet pregnancies, weekly injections of 17-alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17OHP), started before 24 weeks of gestation, will reduce neonatal morbidity by reducing the rate of preterm delivery. This study involves two concurrent double-blinded randomized clinical trials of 17OHP versus placebo. Each trial will test the efficacy and safety of 17OHP in women with a specific risk factor for preterm birth. The two risk factors to be studied are: 1. Twin pregnancy 2. Triplet pregnancy
Primary Objective: The primary goal of this registry is to assess the risk of spontaneous abortion in prospective enrolled women exposed to LEMTRADA for multiple sclerosis. Secondary Objective: The secondary goals of this registry is to assess maternal, fetal and infant outcome in women with multiple sclerosis, exposed to LEMTRADA.
Serial use of urine multi-level pregnancy tests (MLPTs) has been shown to be a reliable and efficient strategy for excluding ongoing pregnancy after medical abortion at ≤ 63 days of gestation. This pilot project will assess whether MLPTs can enhance the quality of remote medical abortion services through enabling women to reliably ascertain their abortion outcomes at home sooner than would otherwise have been the case. safe2choose provides remote medical abortion services through the Internet (information, counselling and access to abortion pills) in a growing number of countries worldwide. safe2choose will collaborate with Gynuity Health Projects to pilot the utility of MLPTs for home follow-up as part of its remote medical abortion services. As safe2choose does not have a physical office, the location of the sponsor's office is listed in this entry as the study location. Women from the United States are NOT eligible to enroll.
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of the multi-level pregnancy test for self-assessment of abortion outcomes, without a routine provider contact.
The primary objective of the study is to prospectively evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with multiple sclerosis who were exposed to a Registry-specified Biogen Multiple Sclerosis product during the eligibility window for that product. The Registry-specified Biogen MS products being studied are dimethyl fumarate, and Pegylated human interferon beta-1a. The secondary objective of the study is to prospectively evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with MS who were unexposed to disease-modifying therapies (DMTs).
The purpose of the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry (Registry) is to detect any major teratogenic effect involving any of the Registry drugs when administered to pregnant people. Registration is voluntary and confidential with information obtained from the health care provider. A Registry-assigned identifier allows for follow-up capability. Information on subjects is provided to the Registry prospectively (prior to the outcome of pregnancy being known) through their health care provider, with follow-up obtained from the health care provider after the outcome is determined. Providers are strongly urged to enroll their patients as early in pregnancy as possible to maximize the validity of the data. In addition, the Registry is very interested in assembling a group of providers who are willing to make a commitment to report all of their site's antiretroviral pregnancy exposures to the Registry, thereby assuring all cases can be considered prospective. Providers are encouraged to contact the Registry for more information about this group. The Registry is informed in its analysis by other data, for example, retrospective reports and clinical studies. Given the increasing number of medications and more aggressive approach to therapy, more HIV- and hepatitis B-infected people may be treated during pregnancy or become pregnant while under treatment. The paucity of data on use and infant outcomes of antiretroviral therapies during pregnancy makes this Registry an essential component of the ongoing program of epidemiologic studies of the safety of these therapies. Each year the Registry has enrolled approximately 1300-1700 pregnant people in the US exposed to antiretroviral drugs. This number represents approximately 15% of the 8,700 HIV positive people who give birth to live infants annually in the US.
This study will assess the impact of providing medication abortion-seeking clients a choice for follow-up in practice. Clients presenting at or less than 63 days pregnant (based on last menstrual period) at the study site for first trimester medication abortion will be invited to participate. We hypothesize that providing clients with flexible follow-up options will improve follow-up rates. This study is not to assess efficacy or safety of follow-up methods--that has been well established in practice and research. This is to assess choice of follow-up.
The purpose of this retrospective observational cohort study is to assess pregnancy and infant outcomes in three groups: the first is women with multiple sclerosis (MS) who were exposed to ozanimod during pregnancy; the second is women with MS exposed to select other disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) during pregnancy; the third is women with MS not exposed to any DMTs during pregnancy. This study will use data from a large US healthcare claims database.
Study volunteers will be required to conduct a home pregnancy test (HPT) at the trial center and provide a sample of urine from the same void for further testing. Volunteers will then complete a product usage questionnaire and leaflet comprehension questionnaire at site.
The primary objective of the study is to compare the prevalence rate of major congenital malformations (MCM) between 2 cohorts of pregnant participants with MS who are exposed to BRIUMVI® and who are unexposed to BRIUMVI®.
PRISMA, is a pregnancy registry study, focused on comprehensively collecting information about pregnancy in women with chronic neurological conditions from across the United States and internationally. Depending on their specific condition (MS, CIS, NMOSD, or other) and their specific treatment, participants will be asked to contribute to different aspects of the study. (1) The biosamples will be blood, breast milk, infant stool, maternal stool and vaginal swab samples, collected at specific time points. (2) The online surveys will be collected at specific time points. All study activities will be discussed with participants upon enrollment. By collecting this information, the investigators hope to gain deeper insights into the relationship between pregnancy, the neurological condition, and maternal and infant health. For example, one of the sub-studies focuses on breast milk collection for women planning postpartum treatment with Ocrevus, Rituxan, Briumvi or Kesimpta. This study is fully remote and all sample collection is optional, so participants can choose which types of samples they wish to provide. For blood draws, participants can schedule a home visit through ExamOne, making participation even more convenient. The investigators aim to enroll women with chronic neurological conditions who are planning pregnancy, currently pregnant, or within one year postpartum.
Central hypothesis: a multimodal approach is needed to enhance RSV vaccine uptake in pregnancy rather than the current standard of care that relies solely on physician recommendations at routine prenatal visits and/or mass messaging to the public. The investigators propose a pilot sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) to evaluate the effectiveness of a bundle of evidence-based and sequential strategies to test early (28-30 weeks gestation) and late (34-36 weeks gestation efficacy) to increase RSV vaccination during pregnancy.
To develop strategies to identify postpartum women at risk for adverse cardiovascular outcomes and provide them with preventative therapies.
The goal of this open label case series is to learn about the feasibility of conducting a future randomised controlled trial to evaluate how well the Perinatal SMILES intervention works in improving post-cesarean mood in low-income women. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is it feasible to recruit a sufficient number of participants? 2. Is it feasible to administer Perinatal SMILES and 3. Is it feasible to collect participant outcomes? To profile EEG in participants at rest and in response to TMS, before and after subcutaneous ketamine Participants will: 1. Complete five sessions of interpersonal therapy 2. Receive two skin injections of ketamine, approximately 24 hours apart, in the first four postpartum day 3. Receive additional therapy sessions before (to prepare for ketamine) and after (interpersonal therapy) each ketamine injection 4. Undergo assessments of brain electrical activity (at rest and evoked by trans-cranial magnetic stimulation) before and at three timepoints in the 10 hours after each ketamine injection 5. Complete mood assessments over the first 12 postpartum weeks
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the prevalence of major congenital malformations (MCMs) and compare the prevalence between the diroximel fumarate (DRF) and comparator groups. The secondary objectives of the study are to estimate the incidence of spontaneous abortion (SA) and compare the incidence between the DRF and comparator groups; to estimate the incidence of preterm birth and compare the incidence between the DRF and comparator groups; to estimate the incidence of stillbirth and compare the incidence between the DRF and comparator groups and to estimate the prevalence of small for gestational age (SGA) and compare the prevalence between the DRF and comparator groups.
The primary objectives of the study are to estimate the risk of major congenital malformations (MCMs) in infants born to women with multiple sclerosis (MS) who were exposed to diroximel fumarate (DRF) at any time from 2 weeks after the first day of their last menstrual period (LMP) up through the first trimester of pregnancy and to comparatively evaluate pregnancy outcomes with MCMs in women with MS who were exposed to DRF at any time from 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP through the first trimester of pregnancy with the following: i) women with MS who were unexposed to disease modifying therapies (DMTs) and, ii) women with MS who were exposed to other DMTs (e.g., Avonex and Tysabri Pregnancy Registries). The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate pregnancy outcomes in women with DRF exposure at any time from 2 weeks after the first day of their LMP through the end of pregnancy compared with the following: i) women with MS who were unexposed to DMTs, ii) women with dimethyl fumarate (DMF) exposure, iii) women with MS who were exposed to other DMTs (e.g., Avonex and Tysabri Pregnancy Registries), and iv) women without MS (e.g., women from external, general population comparators).
The Kesimpta Pregnancy Registry is an observational, exposure cohort designed study to examine pregnancy and infant outcomes in women and infants who are exposed to Kesimpta (ofatumumab) during pregnancy to treat MS.
The purpose of this study is to provide information on maternal, fetal, and infant outcomes following exposure of ozanimod during pregnancy so that participants and physicians can weigh the benefits and risks of exposure to the pharmaceutical during pregnancy and make informed treatment decisions.
This study will evaluate the potential placental transfer of ocrelizumab in pregnant women with clinically isolated syndrome (CIS) or multiple sclerosis (MS) \[in line with the locally approved indications\] whose last dose of ocrelizumab was administered any time from 6 months before the last menstrual period (LMP) through to the first trimester (up to gestational week 13) of pregnancy, and the corresponding pharmacodynamic effects (B cell levels) in the infant.
This study will utilize a prospective, observational, exposure cohort design to examine pregnancy and infant outcomes in women and infants who are exposed to siponimod during pregnancy to treat MS.
The goal of this project is to evaluate the components of the app-based intervention Mission Wellness to reduce health-risking sexual behaviors (HRSBs; e.g., condom non-use, multiple sexual partners) in active-duty members of the US Military to improve their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) and readiness to serve. Following the multiphase optimization strategy (MOST) framework, factorial component selection experiments (CSEs) will be conducted to evaluate which five experimental intervention components (i.e., Narratives, Skills, Scenarios, Future, and Risk) elicit the greatest improvements in the outcomes of interest given key constraints.
