Placenta study around normal third-trimester pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the placenta is working in pregnancies that are planned for cesarean delivery after at least 37 weeks. Researchers compare different pregnancy situations (including some common complications) and check placenta function to better understand placental health.

This study looks at gene activity in the placenta during early and full-term pregnancy. It may help researchers understand how the placenta works and how it affects both mother and baby.
This study builds a repository (a database of samples and health information) from pregnant people to better understand and improve how we care for placenta-related conditions. By joining, you help researchers learn more about both high-risk and typical pregnancies, which could lead to better care for future families.
This trial studies how certain drugs pass from the mother to the baby through the placenta. You may be able to help researchers understand drug safety and transfer during late pregnancy.
This study looks at how the immune system may contribute to ongoing placenta inflammation in certain pregnancy histories. It may help researchers better understand causes behind pregnancy loss and related placental complications, using past placenta/tissue samples.
This study looks at placental tissue to better understand pregnancy conditions like preeclampsia and recurrent miscarriage. It may help improve future care for these conditions.
This study examines how the placenta works in normal pregnancies and in pregnancies with certain complications. Your answers and pregnancy information may help researchers understand why complications like growth problems or preterm birth happen.
