About this study

Official title: Investigation of the Relationship Between Uterine Artery Doppler Diastolic Notching and Serum Apelin-13 and Apelin-36 Concentrations Between the 11th and 14th Weeks of Pregnancy

This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between diastolic notching on uterine artery Doppler and serum apelin-13 and 36 concentrations between 11 and 14 weeks of gestation.

Read the detailed description

Apelin-13 and apelin-36, which provide vasodilatation through a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism, also play a role in trophoblasts' survival, proliferation, and migration.

Based on this, we aimed to investigate serum apelin-13 and apelin-36 concentrations in pregnant women with and without diastolic notch on uterine artery Doppler between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy.

We hypothesized that apelin-13 and apelin-36 might be associated with the formation of diastolic notch in uterine artery Doppler and serum apelin-13 and apelin-36 concentrations would be lower in the group with a notch in the uterine artery Doppler than in the group without a notch.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Diagnosis, run by Umraniye Education and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 8 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 30 Apr 2024. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Relationship between diastolic notching on uterine artery Doppler and serum apelin-13 and apelin-36 concentrations. (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 30 Apr 2024.
