NCT ID: NCT02412696 Active, not recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Positive Airway Pressure, Sleep Apnea, and the Placenta (PAP-SAP)

PAP-SAP
Start date: June 1, 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study is testing the hypothesis of whether continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy improves placental histopathology and secretory function. The main aims of the study are to identify shared mechanisms between obstructive sleep apnea and preeclampsia, both common highly morbid conditions.

NCT ID: NCT02305745 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Determining the Risk Elevation After Maternity

DREAM
Start date: August 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Evaluating the long term cardiovascular risks of those mothers who have been diagnosed with preeclampsia in pregnancy.

NCT ID: NCT02245191 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Ephedrine, Phenylephrine and Metaraminol Effects on Maternal Cardiac Output, Uterine Blood Flow and Fetal Circulation

Start date: July 2014
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

It is a prospective clinical trial with random distribution that intends to investigate maternal and fetal effects of ephedrine, phenylephrine and metaraminol during cesarean delivery in patients with pre-eclampsia.

NCT ID: NCT01717586 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Pravastatin for Prevention of Preeclampsia

Statin
Start date: August 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of this pilot study is to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters and collect preliminary safety data for pravastatin when used as a prophylactic daily treatment in pregnant women at high risk of preeclampsia.

NCT ID: NCT00939575 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Pre-eclampsia and Metabolomics

GEM-1
Start date: March 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The hypertensive disorders of pregnancy are the medical complications more prevalent during pregnancy. In Canada, approximately 1% of pregnancies have complications due to a pre-existing hypertension, 5-6% because of hypertension of pregnancy without proteinuria and 1-2% by preeclampsia. Metabolomics involves a new technology to investigate small molecules that characterize biochemical pathways of interest. The change in concentration levels of these molecules in various biological samples such as urine and blood in the presence of a disease or a patient can be particularly useful for identifying new biomarkers. Our hypothesis is that metabolic patterns in blood and urine of pregnant women who had preeclampsia differ from the metabolomics patterns of patients without preeclampsia.The whole research program has two complementary objectives in order to expect a decrease of prematurity: a) better understanding of all the physiological mechanisms leading to prematurity and b) better identification of patients at high risk for a better management of these women.

NCT ID: NCT00836524 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Is Serum YKL-40 Capable of Predicting Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR) and Preeclampsia?

Start date: January 2009
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Objective: To investigate the role of maternal serum YKL-40 and uterine artery doppler, at gestational age 12, 20, 25 and 32 weeks, and the relation to preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction. The serum marker YKL-40 is related to conditions involving inflammation, infection, tissue remodeling, fibrosis and cancer. IUGR and preeclampsia are known to be related to inflammation and tissue remodeling. Methods: women attending screening for downs syndrome is scanned with uterine artery doppler and delivered blood samples at GA 12, 20, 25 and 32 respectively. When pregnancy outcome is registered by medical records blood samples are retrieved and analyzed for serum YKL-40. Serum YKL-40 are correlated to the presence of bilateral notching, preeclampsia and different degrees of intrauterine growth restriction.

NCT ID: NCT00573118 Active, not recruiting - Preeclampsia Clinical Trials

Severe Pregnancy Complications Are Associated With Elevated Factor VIII Plasma Activity

Start date: January 2000
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Congenital and acquired thrombophilia were identified as risk factors for thrombosis in systemic vessels.Thrombophilias have also been recently found to be associated with preeclampsia, intrauterine fetal growth restriction (IUGR), placental abruption, intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) and repeated pregnancy loss.These severe pregnancy complications are thought to result from thrombotic events occurring in the uteroplacental circulation. Accumulating data have established an association between elevated plasma activity of factor VIII and thrombosis although the mechanism is still not defined and elevated factor VIII activity is now regarded as being equivalent to thrombophilia. We intend to investigatthe association between factor VIII levels and severe pregnancy complications which are considered to result from placental vascular pathology, i.e., preeclampsia, IUGR, placental abruption and IUFD. We hypothezise that the prevalence of elevated factor 8 will be higher among women with pregnancy complications compared to controls.
