Trial summary

Introduction: Native magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is recommended to assess the thoracic aorta during pregnancy, avoiding the risks of ionising radiation and contrast agent administration. This guidance is however, based only on consensus opinion supported by limited case reports (level of evidence C). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Native High-resolution 3D SSFP MR Angiography for Assessment of the Thoracic Aorta in Pregnant Subjects With Familial Aortopathies

Introduction: Native magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) is recommended to assess the thoracic aorta during pregnancy, avoiding the risks of ionising radiation and contrast agent administration. This guidance is however, based only on consensus opinion supported by limited case reports (level of evidence C).

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of performing native 3D steady-state free-precession (SSFP) MRA in pregnant subjects with inherited aortopathy to guide timing and mode of delivery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Pregnancy, run by University Hospital Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 10 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Gestation at delivery (time frame: 40 weeks). 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 10 Nov 2016.
