✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are unlikely to return for follow-up testing or those participating in other conflicting studies may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study involves enrolling pregnant women between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation to collect blood samples and relevant medical history for evaluating preeclampsia. The goal is to validate the Labcorp Preeclampsia ScreenTM assay and gather data on pregnancy outcomes. Participants will provide blood samples at each trimester visit and agree to share prenatal and postnatal screening results. The collected data will help in assessing the performance of the assay and developing new testing methods.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to earlier and more accurate detection of preeclampsia, improving maternal and fetal health outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in non-invasive screening methods for preeclampsia, indicating potential for success in this approach.
