Special camera test to spot early cervical changes in pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a detailed “polarimetric colposcopy” camera exam to better detect early changes in the cervix during pregnancy. Results may help guide closer monitoring in pregnancy, especially if there are signs that the cervix may start to change too soon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with only one baby (a single pregnancy).
- You are at least 20 weeks pregnant but before 37 weeks (or at/after 20 weeks, depending on the group).
- Your pregnancy due-date was confirmed with a first-trimester ultrasound.
- You can have consent and understand the study; you are able to do the required exams.
- Your cervix exam can be done with a speculum (the clinician can see the cervix during the exam).
- You do not have certain pregnancy complications (like leaking fluid before labor or an infection suspicion).

This trial tests an innovative device that measures risk of preterm birth in pregnant people who come to the emergency room early in pregnancy with signs that labor might start. It may help doctors identify who needs closer monitoring or treatment sooner.
This trial tests a new medical device to see if it can help predict preterm birth in pregnant women who are having early contractions. It may help doctors decide which patients need treatment to prevent early delivery.
This study tests a new technology to help find cervical cancer earlier by focusing on people who already had an abnormal screening result. It may help improve how abnormal tests are checked and diagnosed.
This study tests a new device that measures how stiff the cervix is in women who may be going into labor early. The goal is to see if this measurement can help tell which women are truly at risk for preterm birth.
This study tests a low-cost imaging approach during colposcopy, for people who have abnormal cervical screening results or need follow-up after prior abnormal cells. It may help clinics detect cervical changes more easily and at lower cost.
This study tests a way to predict early labor risk using a scoring system and an ultrasound measurement of the cervix. If you are at higher risk, you may get extra monitoring and care to help reduce the chance of delivering too early.
