Study summary

This prospective blinded study will assess the diagnostic capability of an informatics enhanced SNP based technology (Parental Support) to identify pregnant women who are carrying a fetus with an aneuploidy from fee floating DNA in the maternal blood.

Read the detailed description

First trimester screening is the current standard of care for pregnant women in the United States. Women with a high screening risk for trisomy then have invasive testing, which carries a risk of miscarriage, to definitively determine if the fetus has trisomy. Because of the high false negative rate of the first trimester screening, an unacceptable number of trisomic fetuses are not detected. Moreover, because of the high false positive rate, an unacceptable number of women undergo invasive follow up testing. Additional screening tests are needed that combine a high sensitivity, a low false positive rate, and minimal or no risk to the fetus.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Sensitivity and Specificity of the test to diagnose aneuploidy in a fetus at chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X and Y.

    The primary objective is to determine the diagnostic capability of the test to detect autosomal aneuploidy (chromosomes 13, 18, 21) and sex aneuploidy (X and Y).

    Time frame: Between first trimester screening (10-14 weeks GA) and invasive testing (amniocentesis or CVS).

The record gives a start of Jan 2012, a primary completion of Apr 2014 and a completion of Mar 2023. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Mar 23, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
