Pregnancy and breastfeeding study for women with Fabry disease
This study follows pregnant and breastfeeding women with Fabry disease (and their infants) to better understand what happens during pregnancy and early life. You may or may not be taking migalastat, and the goal is to gather real-world information that could help future care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT06826859RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Daily aspirin vs split dosing to prevent preeclampsia
This study compares taking a daily low-dose aspirin (a single pill) versus splitting the same dose into two smaller pills many hours apart to see which way better prevents preeclampsia in pregnant people who are at higher risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16–55 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–45 - NCT06445946RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin vs insulin for gestational diabetes
This study compares two common medicines (metformin pills and insulin shots) to see which works better for controlling blood sugar in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The goal is to find the best treatment for both mom and baby, now and in the long term.

Late cerclage for preventing early birth in high-risk pregnancies
This trial tests if placing a stitch in the cervix (cerclage) between 24 and 27 weeks of pregnancy can help prevent preterm birth in women whose cervix is short. It may be an option for those who find out late in pregnancy that they are at risk.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–50 - NCT05912517RecruitingPhase 3
Nipocalimab for high-risk pregnancy blood disease
This Phase 3 trial tests nipocalimab (an antibody medicine) to help prevent severe blood breakdown in a baby when a parent has certain blood antibodies. It enrolls people who previously had severe hemolytic disease in a past pregnancy and who are currently early in pregnancy with the same risk antibodies.

Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03923374Recruiting
Study of buprenorphine for opioid use during pregnancy
This study looks at pregnancy and baby outcomes for people who are pregnant and taking buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. It may help doctors understand what to expect long-term for both parent and child when opioid treatment continues during pregnancy.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05124808Recruiting
Tight blood sugar targets in pregnant women with gestational diabetes

What taking part in a pregnancy study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
