Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This will be a case-series multicenter study enrolling 800 pregnant people. Serum will be collected from people seeking abortion and assayed at a qualified laboratory.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Knowledge of gestational age (GA) is essential for guiding abortion care. In 2016, Gynuity Health Projects (GHP) launched a portfolio of research that aims to explore the possibility of developing a blood or urine test for this purpose.The goal of the present study is to validate initial study findings (protocol 8000) in a larger population of people seeking abortion.

Staff will obtain a serum specimen from each participant before any cervical manipulation is performed and before any abortifacient drug is administered. The site will send the specimens to a central facility for storage until assay. Serum assays for PAPP-A and possibly other proteins will be performed at a selected laboratory by qualified experts.
