Study of pregnancy cholestasis and placental inflammation
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a pregnancy liver condition called intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy is linked with chronic inflammation in the placenta. It may help doctors better understand risks and what to monitor during pregnancy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and age 18 or older
- Your pregnancy is a singleton (not twins or more)
- You are either diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, or you have not been diagnosed
- The pregnancy goes at least to 22 weeks (not planned or actual delivery before 22 weeks)
- Your pregnancy is not ending in a medical termination
- You have not had a COVID-19 infection within the month before delivery

This study looks at bile acid levels in pregnant women who have intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), a liver condition that causes itching and can affect the baby. It also includes two control groups: healthy pregnant women and healthy non-pregnant women for comparison.
This study looks at bile acid levels and possible genetic changes in people with persistent pregnancy itching. The goal is to better understand the cause of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and related pregnancy outcomes.
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 how a pregnancy liver condition (intrahepatic cholestasis) affects the baby's breathing after birth. It compares newborns whose mothers had this condition (and took medication for it) with newborns whose mothers did not have any liver issues during pregnancy.
This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
This study looks at the placenta and the area where the baby meets the mother's body to understand preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication. If you are between 9 and 15 weeks pregnant with one baby and are already scheduled for a placenta test, you may be able to join.
