Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 20 to 40 years
  • Women only

  • Adult

Study population: * This is a prospective study which will include 50 patients who will be selected from the outpatient and inpatient obstetric Ain Shams university maternity hospital. * All patients will undergo the following : 1. History taking 2. Clinical examination. 3. For each patient, the whole placenta will be scanned in a systematic fashion using both 2D grayscale and 2D power Doppler ultrasound then displayed by 3D TUI to determine whether those patients suspected of having advanced invasive placentation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Loss of the Retro Placental Sonolucent Zone by 2D Grayscale Ultrasonography

    2D grayscale ultrasonography criteria of placenta accreta by Loss of the retro placental sonolucent zone in placenta previa with its lower edge covering the scar of previous cesarean section

    Measured: 28 -36 weeks of gestation

  2. Abnormal Placental Lacunae by 2D Grayscale Ultrasonography

    2D grayscale ultrasonography criteria of placenta accreta by Abnormal placental lacunae in placenta previa with its lower edge covering the scar of previous cesarean section

    Measured: 28 -36 weeks of gestation

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Crowded Vessels Over Peripheral Sub-placental Zone by Power Doppler Ultrasonography

    Power Doppler ultrasonography criteria of Crowded vessels over peripheral sub-placental zone of in placenta previa with its lower edge covering the scar of previous cesarean section

    Measured: 28 -36 weeks of gestation

  2. Abnormal Placental Lacunae by Power Doppler Ultrasonography

    Power Doppler ultrasonography criteria by Abnormal placental lacunae in placenta previa with its lower edge covering the scar of previous cesarean section

    Measured: 28 -36 weeks of gestation

  3. Crowded Vessels Over Peripheral Sub-placental Zone by 3D Tomographic Ultrasound Imaging (TUI)

    the examiner can simultaneously display, on the monitor or on a hard copy, up to 24 preselected parallel cuts from a volume. The slices can be generated either along the initial or any other reconstructed plane of the region of interest (ROI) in intervals of 0.5 - to 5 mm segments. Slice thickness will be adjusted as necessary for each individual case. The most informative image among the multiple images will be displayed with the use of CrossXBeam, a postprocessing tool that allows one to enhance tissue and border differentiation, leading to sharper depiction of the tissue margins

    Measured: 28 -36 weeks of gestation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Placenta Accreta, run by Ain Shams University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Loss of the Retro Placental Sonolucent Zone by 2D Grayscale Ultrasonography (time frame: 28 -36 weeks of gestation). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 May 2017.
