NCT ID: NCT05360095 Recruiting - Pregnancy Clinical Trials

Comparing Game Facilitated Interactivity to Genetic Counseling for Prenatal Screening Education

Start date: March 7, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Advancements in prenatal genetic screening have significantly improved the identification of chromosomal abnormalities and heritable conditions during pregnancy, yet current standards for patient education in this domain are largely ineffective. The most effective approach to education about prenatal screening is one-on-one genetic counseling, but due to the limited number of counselors this is not feasible, especially in rural and frontier areas. The investigators will address this national problem using a novel education game that can more effectively address this gap in healthcare decision-making.

NCT ID: NCT04595214 Recruiting - Premature Birth Clinical Trials

Develop a Multi-disciplinary Approach for a Personalized Prenatal Diagnostics and Care for Twin Pregnancies

PRETWINSCREN
Start date: December 21, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Different screening modalities evaluation to develop algorithms to predict pregnancy complications in twin pregnancies, and evaluation of serologic response to BNT162b2 Pfeizer/BioNTech vaccination.

NCT ID: NCT04364646 Recruiting - Depression Clinical Trials

Personalized Integrated Chronotherapy for Perinatal Depression

Start date: November 2, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Perinatal depression and anxiety are common, serious, and frequently overlapping disorders that increase morbidity and mortality in new mothers (including suicide) and result in poor infant/child outcomes. Current therapies often fail to produce recovery or are poorly tolerated, and many pregnant women seek non-pharmacologic therapy or forgo treatment when non-pharmacologic options are not available. Expectant and new mothers who experience circadian rhythm dysregulation are at increased risk for perinatal depression. This Confirmatory Efficacy Clinical Trial of Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Mental Disorders R01 seeks to test whether a Personalized Integrated Chronotherapy (PIC) intervention can improve treatment outcomes for pregnant patients seeking outpatient treatment for depression, with or without anxiety. PIC is a multicomponent treatment consisting of bright light therapy, sleep phase advance, and sleep stabilization/restriction that targets the Research Domain Criteria (RDoC) constructs of circadian rhythms and sleep-wake behavior. To increase sample size and diversity and accelerate recruitment, this study will be performed at 4 sites that differ in clinical structure and that have piloted the PIC intervention. The study will enroll expectant mothers diagnosed with major depressive disorder during 3rd trimester of pregnancy. Participants will be randomized to either: (a) usual care (UC, n = 110) or (b) PIC+UC (n = 110). PIC+UC will have pregnancy and postpartum components and will be administered via a personalized approach tailored to optimize the intervention based on each patient's individual circadian and sleep timing. After a baseline assessment, PIC will be prescribed during 5 dedicated clinical visits: three during 3rd trimester of pregnancy and 2 in the postpartum period. UC will consist of medication and/or psychotherapy. UC will be quantified in both groups to evaluate differences between the PIC+UC and UC groups. Mood will be measured in both groups by blinded clinician interview and patient self-report. The safety profile of the PIC intervention will be assessed by evaluation of side effects/adverse events. Importantly, the study will also examine the target mechanisms by which PIC is hypothesized to work and test the mediation effects of the circadian targets on improvement in mood symptoms. Participants will wear wrist actigraphy/light monitors continuously during weeks 28-40 of pregnancy and postpartum weeks 2-6 to assess light exposure and to estimate sleep timing and duration. Circadian phase (measured with salivary dim light melatonin onset) will be measured at baseline during pregnancy (~30 weeks' gestation), at 36 weeks' gestation, and at postpartum week 6. Exploratory aims will examine associations between infant sleep behavior and maternal circadian rhythms and factors relevant to future dissemination of PIC. If this intervention is effective, perinatal PIC could change clinical practice and have major public health impact due to the high prevalence of perinatal depression and anxiety, the negative effects of mood disorders on mothers and their children, and the need to provide effective, novel, non-pharmacologic therapies for women with perinatal mood disorders.

NCT ID: NCT03680651 Recruiting - Prenatal Disorder Clinical Trials

Frequency and Type of Genetic Abnormalities Found in Antenatal Corpus Callosum Malformation

AGMCC1318
Start date: June 18, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Corpus callosum malformation (CCM) is the most frequently detected cerebral defect diagnosed in the prenatal setting. The most common CCM is corpus callosum agenesis (CCA) which is found in 2 to 3% of patients presenting with intellectual disability. When CCM is diagnosed, the risk of chromosomal disorder is estimated to be 16%, be it aneuploidy such as trisomy 18, trisomy 13 or mosaic trisomy 8, or a chromosome structure anomaly, copy number variation or more complex rearrangement In France, since 2013 oligoarray-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) analysis is performed in the prenatal period for most malformations after approval by a multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis ethics committee (Centre Pluridisciplinaire de Diagnostic Prénatal, CPDPN) . However, to date only a few studies have been published which report recurrent Copy Number Variations (CNV) associated with CCM and estimate the risk for a chromosomal disorder, thus making counseling difficult in this context of prenatal diagnosis.
