Study of growth-restricted twin babies in shared placenta
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with monochorionic twins (twins sharing one placenta).
- The doctor diagnosed selective fetal growth restriction (sFGR) before 28 weeks of pregnancy.
- You (and the child’s other parent/partner if involved in care decisions) are at least 18 years old and can consent.
- You can sign consent for the study and agree to follow-up visits for up to 2 years after birth.
- At the time sFGR was diagnosed, you did not have TTTS or TAPS.

This study looks at therapies meant to support brain development in babies whose growth is slower than expected before birth. It enrolls pregnancies in a specific time window and uses ultrasound/Doppler testing to make sure the baby is not likely needing delivery immediately.
This study looks at how early, slow fetal growth is managed during pregnancy. It compares an “angiogenic factors” approach with an ultrasound (blood-flow) approach to help guide care and improve outcomes.
This study aims to better predict fetal growth restriction (when a baby doesn't grow as expected) in women who have certain risk factors. By joining, you may help doctors develop better screening tools for future pregnancies.
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 trial uses an MRI scan to look at placental health in pregnancies where the baby (or one twin) is not growing as expected. The goal is to better understand placental problems and how they may affect baby growth.
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.
