About this study

The risk of abnormal chromosome and structure is much higher in twins than in singletons, and traditional early pregnancy screening strategy for single pregnancy is not suitable for twins. Based on our management experience of fetal medicine at twin pregnancy, and multi-center cooperation, the study will carry out the following clinical studies:

  1. to explore a suitable, early, noninvasive and accurate prenatal screening strategy for twin pregnancy.
  2. fetal chromosomal abnormalities
Being tested
Fetal Selective Reduction Technology, Potassium Chloride
Medical subject headings
Chromosome Aberrations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fetal Selective Reduction Technology and Potassium Chloride in people with Chromosome Abnormality and Twin Pregnancy With Antenatal Problem, run by Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Dec 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Success rate for the operation (time frame: 1 week). 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 5 Dec 2016.
