Overview

Congenital anomalies are a major public health problem. They affect 2-3% of births, around 20,000 new cases per year in France, of which 15% are cared for in Ile de France. These congenital anomalies are a major cause of morbidity, infant mortality and disability. They are also a major cause of death during the infant period (22% of deaths during the first year of life: source CépiDC Inserm 2010). The detection, accurate diagnosis and accurate prognosis, particularly functional, of these congenital anomalies are still difficult in the current monitoring of pregnancy, which is based primarily on ultrasound. The use and development of modern imaging techniques is now essential to enable doctors to better see and better examine the fetus. Alongside ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a technique that has undergone significant development in recent years. MRI must allow the effective anatomical and functional evaluation of the main fetal organs and could in particular be interesting in several situations in which it has not yet been sufficiently evaluated and is not yet performed in clinical routine.

Description

The inclusion will take place from 16WF to 36WG, within the framework of one of the 4 clinical subgroups of patients envisaged.

The standardized anatomic and functional MRI examination will in all cases last less than 45 minutes and will be based on sequences already used in clinical practice.

Clinical, biological, and ultrasound data will be collected prospectively and used for the usual management of the patient. For the purposes of the study, these data will be secondarily anonymized and analyzed in connection with the MRI data and the perinatal outcome to meet the specific objectives.

The lost-to-follow-up bias will be limited by the simplicity of the proposed perinatal surveillance, which does not differ from the surveillance usually recommended for these pregnancies

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patient ≥ 18 years
  • Single or twin pregnancy
  • gestational age≥ 16 WG and ≤ 36 WG based on cranio-caudal length (LCC) dating
  • Collection of the patient's consent

Exclusion Criteria:

contraindication to MRI

  • multiple pregnancies > 2
  • subsequent follow-up impossible
  • maternal condition contraindicates continuation of pregnancy
  • patient having to have an MRI examination as part of the normal clinical follow-up of her pregnancy (identified or strongly suspected echocardiographic abnormality on ultrasound, diaphragmatic dome hernia, CMV fetal infection, antecedent brain abnormality in siblings, STT operated)

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
