Recruiting studies
- NCT05403632Recruiting
Mediterranean diet during pregnancy to support baby development
This study looks at whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet during early pregnancy can support healthy development of the baby. You may be able to join if you’re in your first trimester and willing to deliver at the study hospital units.
Agropoli, SAAges 18–50 - NCT04613583Recruiting
Study of fetal tissue collected during normal pregnancy
This study asks pregnant people with a normal ultrasound to join research where fetal tissue may be collected at an important point in pregnancy (7–20 weeks). It aims to better understand fetal development, and participation requires being able to understand the study in English.
AberdeenAges 16 years+ - NCT06081036Recruiting
Normal brain volumes from fetal MRI scans
This study looks at past fetal MRI scans to create a map of normal brain growth in babies before birth. It may help doctors better understand what healthy brain development looks like.
MarseilleAges 5 months–9 months - NCT06675266Recruiting
AI for detecting fetal brain issues on ultrasound
This trial uses artificial intelligence to help find brain abnormalities in babies during a routine second-trimester ultrasound. It may improve how doctors spot problems early in pregnancy.
RomeAges 18–60 - NCT02171845Recruiting
Study of how the body controls DNA “jumping genes” before birth
This study looks at how the body stops “jumping genes” (transposons) during fetal development, specifically in male fetuses. Families may be able to participate if the fetus is obtained from a planned pregnancy termination and meets the timing and screening requirements.
DijonAges 2 months–9 months - NCT05934318Recruiting
Arginine supplements to help prevent pregnancy complications
This study tests whether taking an arginine-based supplement during pregnancy can help lower the risk of bad pregnancy outcomes. You may be eligible if you are pregnant in the early-to-mid period and meet safety and location requirements.
KisumuAges 16–40 - NCT03371641Recruiting
Study of alcohol exposure effects in unborn babies
This study looks at unborn babies exposed to alcohol during pregnancy and compares them with babies not exposed. Researchers test a pregnancy blood marker to see whether it may relate to early brain changes in the baby.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT06720363Recruiting
Predicting baby's health during labor
This study uses information from a monitor that tracks your baby's heart rate during labor to see if we can better predict their well-being at birth. The goal is to improve care and ensure both you and your baby are safe.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18–45 - NCT06449651RecruitingPhase 3
Nipocalimab to prevent low platelets in newborns
This study tests a medicine called nipocalimab for pregnant women whose babies are at risk of a bleeding condition called FNAIT. The medicine may help prevent low platelet counts and serious bleeding in the newborn.
LeuvenAges 18–45 - NCT06533098RecruitingPhase 3
Nipocalimab vs IVIG for FNAIT in pregnancy
This study tests a new medicine called nipocalimab compared to standard IVIG treatment for pregnant women who are at risk of a serious condition where the mother's antibodies attack the baby's platelets (FNAIT). The goal is to see if nipocalimab can prevent complications like bleeding in the baby.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–45 - NCT07643896Recruiting
Blood test for pregnancy risk assessment using fetal cells
This study tests a new blood test that looks for fetal cells in your bloodstream to check your baby's health during pregnancy. The test is non-invasive—just a regular blood draw—and aims to help identify pregnancy risks earlier than traditional methods.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for fetal development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting fetal development studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a fetal development trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a fetal development trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
