Placenta study for identical twin pregnancies
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial studies the placentas of identical (monochorionic) twin pregnancies to learn more about their structure and health. Participation involves donating the placenta after birth for analysis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with identical twins sharing one placenta (monochorionic)
- Your placenta will be sent to the pathology lab after delivery
- Your twins have no known major birth defects or chromosomal problems

This study looks at how the placenta works in healthy pregnancies and in pregnancies with conditions like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or fetal growth restriction. It may help find new ways to detect or treat these problems.
This study uses imaging to learn more about the placenta in twin pregnancies where twins share a placenta. It may help understand how to better care for mothers and babies in similar situations.
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.
This study looks at whether a difference in blood flow measurements between the two babies (called the cerebroplacental ratio) at 16-20 weeks can help predict complications in twin pregnancies where the babies share a placenta. It may help doctors identify which twins need extra monitoring.
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 looks at gene activity in the placenta during early and full-term pregnancy. It may help researchers understand how the placenta works and how it affects both mother and baby.
