Study of unequal blood sharing in identical twin pregnancies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This is an observational study in pregnancies with identical twins who share the same placenta. It looks at uneven sharing of blood flow and how often it happens in different twin complications—without changing your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with monochorionic diamniotic (identical) twins
- You are between 11 and 14 weeks pregnant (based on early pregnancy dating)
- You are 18 years or older and can legally consent
- You are in one of these situations: TTTS, or sIUGR, or the general MCDA twin group
- You can sign informed consent for the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether a difference in blood flow measurements between the two babies (called the cerebroplacental ratio) at 16-20 weeks can help predict complications in twin pregnancies where the babies share a placenta. It may help doctors identify which twins need extra monitoring.
This trial studies the placentas of identical (monochorionic) twin pregnancies to learn more about their structure and health. Participation involves donating the placenta after birth for analysis.
This study uses imaging to learn more about the placenta in twin pregnancies where twins share a placenta. It may help understand how to better care for mothers and babies in similar situations.
This study looks at babies in monochorionic (shared-placenta) twin pregnancies where one or both babies are growing too slowly. It aims to better understand this condition and follow families over time to improve care, with check-ins through age 2 after birth.
This study follows mothers expecting twins from early pregnancy through delivery. It helps doctors learn more about caring for twin pregnancies and their babies in China.
This study tests a laser procedure that seals abnormal blood vessel connections in identical twins sharing one placenta (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome). The goal is to improve outcomes by stopping unbalanced blood flow between the twins.
