Trial Outcomes & Findings for Transplacental Gradients and Transport in Intrauterine Growth Restricted (IUGR) Pregnancies Compared to Normal Pregnancies. (NCT NCT02397291)

NCT ID: NCT02397291

Last Updated: 2021-11-11

Results Overview

The infusion of D-\[U-13C\]mannose and \[U-13C\]myoinositol into the maternal circulation is used to establish the degree of transplacental flux of these 2 carbohydrates and to determine if there is evidence of fetal and/or placental production of either of these substrates.

Placebo/Control Group
At the time of the elective cesarean section, a blood sample of 0.5 ml will be obtained from a maternal heated hand vein at the time the umbilical cord is clamped. Then, the umbilical cord will be doubly clamped to isolate a segment. The umbilical artery and vein will be sampled for 0.5 ml of blood. There are no stable isotopes infused. Heating the maternal hand vein allows it to be "arterialized." These patients are separate from those required for the stable isotope studies listed below. Placebo: placebo
Study Group (IUGR)
Prior to the elective cesarean section, 2 samples from the patient's heated hand vein are obtained to establish a baseline for the compounds. Next, a primed constant infusion containing the stable isotopes of mannose and myoinositol is begun in a peripheral IV of the mother. This is continued approximately 2 hours until the Cesarean section is complete and the umbilical cord samples are obtained. An additional 3 samples are obtained from the patient's heated hand vein: 1 at the start of the cesarean section, 1 at the time the fetus is delivered, and 1 at the time the umbilical cord samples are obtained. Mannose: A primed constant infusion containing the stable isotopes of mannose and myoinositol is administered through a peripheral IV. Myoinositol: A primed constant infusion containing the stable isotopes of mannose and myoinositol is administered through a peripheral IV.
