Placental organoids for pregnancy research
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study creates miniature models of the placenta from tissue donated after childbirth or pregnancy loss. It aims to understand pregnancy complications like preeclampsia and recurrent miscarriage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are having a planned cesarean section at full term for a previous surgery or breech baby.
- You have had a miscarriage and a history of repeated miscarriages with no known cause.
- You have preeclampsia and are having a cesarean section.
- You go into labor early (before 37 weeks) and need a cesarean for a low weight baby or unusual position.
- You are 18 years or older.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study collects information from pregnant people with different risk levels to better understand and improve pregnancy care. It includes both those with known or suspected placenta issues and those with low-risk pregnancies.
This study looks at tiny living organisms in pregnancy (and related body samples) to find better ways to screen for preeclampsia. By learning early warning signs, it may help doctors identify risk sooner during routine prenatal care.
This study collects samples from pregnant people with preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy blood-pressure condition) and from healthy pregnancy controls. Researchers will study tiny particles (“exosomes”) to see how they differ and whether these signals could help explain or improve care for preeclampsia.
This study collects pregnancy-related samples and health information to help researchers learn more about conditions like preeclampsia and prematurity. Your participation may help future studies, but it usually involves whether you can safely consent and whether the pregnancy is continuing at the time of recruitment.
This study collects placenta tissue (or pregnancy tissue after an abortion) to understand pregnancy problems connected to abnormal placentas. Your participation may help researchers learn what causes these problems and how to improve care.
