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 two ways to manage early-onset fetal growth restriction (when a baby is smaller than expected). It compares using blood tests for angiogenic factors versus feto-placental Doppler ultrasound to guide care. The goal is to find the best way to monitor and protect your baby's health.
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 compares a computer-based analysis of the baby's heart rate tracing (called STV) with the standard visual check doctors perform. The goal is to see if the computer method better identifies babies who are struggling, so doctors can act sooner to keep the baby safe.
This study looks at twin pregnancies with two or more babies that are progressing (viable). You may be able to take part if you’re an adult, can understand the study, and agree to informed consent.
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.
