Overview

Demonstrate the efficacy of an ultra-early, non-invasive prenatal diagnostic method adaptable to various genetic indications to detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities.

Description

During pregnancy, biological screening for genetic diseases of the fetus cannot be implemented before the 11th week of amenorrhea whatever the technique used. This delay is long and distressing, particularly for people at high risk of transmission of genetic diseases. The presence of extravillous trophoblast cells to the cervix of the pregnant woman from the 7th week, accessible by a cervicovaginal smear non-invasive, represents new biological material representative of the fetal genome. This project aimed at evaluating the performance of a method for analyzing these trophoblast cells extra-villous at the start of pregnancy. The investigators want to evaluate performance analytical aspects of this method, that is to say, verifying that the genetic information resulting from these cells correspond to those of the fetus.

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.
