Study summary

Pregnant women with low risk indicators for fetal chromosomal aneuploidy will be enrolled. Study blood will be collected in the first or second trimester at a scheduled prenatal screening visit, processed to plasma, and stored frozen until analysis. Each pregnancy will be followed until delivery and the birth outcome recorded.

Study population

Pregnant with low risk for fetal chromosome 21 aneuploidy

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Pregnancy is 10-22 weeks gestation
  • Between 18-34 years of age inclusive at estimated date of delivery
  • No prenatal screening indicators for high risk including serum biochemical and ultrasound screening
  • No personal or family history of Down syndrome
  • Willing to provide written
  • Willing to provide a whole blood sample
  • Willing to provide access to medical records supporting fetal outcome

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Fetal demise at the time of the blood draw
  • Previous specimen donation under this protocol
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • low risk pregnancies

    Device: SEQureDx Trisomy Test

Interventions

  • DeviceSEQureDx Trisomy Test

    Plasma samples obtained from maternal blood will be tested using the SEQureDx Trisomy Test, an in vitro diagnostic test that measures circulating cell-free fetal DNA. The test detects the relative quantity of chromosome 21, which is associated with trisomy 21.

The record gives a start of Jul 2012, a primary completion of Feb 2014 and a completion of Dec 2015. 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 Apr 20, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
