Columbus, Ohio
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) in mothers with previous live births (multiparous or multip individuals). The main aims are:
Specific Aim 1-Determine the effectiveness of NFP among multiparous women for reducing maternal morbidity and improving pregnancy outcomes.
Specific Aim 2-Determine the effectiveness of NFP among index children (child from pregnancy when mother was enrolled) of multiparous women for improving child outcomes.
Specific Aim 3 (Exploratory)-In preparation for a future study of the effects of preventive home-visiting programs on mother-index child-sibling triads, describe siblings (characteristics, role, influence) in the context of nurse home-visiting and evaluate the effectiveness of NFP on outcomes for prior-born siblings younger than 6 years old living in the home, including cognitive development, socioemotional development, and identification and referral to needed services.
A supplemental study to this study, led by investigators at Yale and Columbia, includes the following Aims:
Aim 1: Test whether the NFP causes variation in DNAm at Glucocorticoid-sensitive sites in infants over the first year of life.
Aim 2: Determine whether NFP causes differences in epigenetic age in infants over the first year of life.
Aim 3: Evaluate DNAm signatures as predictors of infant development at 12 months of age.

Babies with single ventricle congenital heart disease (SVCHD) are often diagnosed during pregnancy. While prenatal diagnosis has important clinical benefits, it is often stressful and overwhelming for parents, and many express a need for psychological support. HeartGPS is a psychological intervention for parents who receive their baby's diagnosis of SVCHD during pregnancy. It includes 8 sessions with a psychologist, coupled with tailored educational resources, and a personalized care plan. The intervention focuses on fostering parent psychological adjustment and wellbeing, and supporting parents to bond with their baby in ways that feel right for them. Through this study, the investigators will learn if HeartGPS is useful and effective for parents and their babies when it is offered in addition to usual fetal cardiac care. The investigators will examine the effects of the HeartGPS intervention on parental anxiety, depression, and traumatic stress; fetal and infant brain development; parent-infant bonding; and infant neurobehavioral and neurodevelopmental outcomes. The investigators will also explore mechanisms associated with stress biology during pregnancy, infant brain development and neurodevelopmental outcomes, and parent and infant intervention effects.

ROSE Program for Postpartum Depression
Flint, Michigan
The Reach Out, Stand Strong, Essentials for New Mothers (ROSE) program is an evidence-based intervention that prevents half of cases of postpartum depression and was one of two interventions recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force in 2019. All effectiveness trials of ROSE and of the other recommended PPD prevention intervention included only low-income women a single risk factor that doubles incidence of PPD. Thus, the existing evidence base for PPD prevention consists primarily of women at increased risk for PPD. Based on data from the PIs' current implementation study of ROSE, many healthcare and community agencies in this implementation trial (78%) find it is more feasible for them to provide or offer ROSE to every woman as part of their standard workflow, than it is to create a screening and referral process for at risk women. In addition to being more feasible for agencies, universal prevention may also be advantageous because the cost of a screening false negative (resulting in a preventable case of PPD; $32,000) far exceeds the cost of ROSE delivery ($50-$300/woman). Effectiveness of ROSE among low-income women at risk for PPD is known (ROSE prevents \~50% of PPD cases). To inform a recommendation about using ROSE as universal vs. selective or indicated prevention, we need to determine the effectiveness of ROSE among general populations of women, including women screening negative for PPD risk. Thus, this project will assess ROSE effectiveness across PPD risk levels and across prevention approaches in a sample of 2,320 women from a large regional health system (based in Detroit, MI). Each proposed aim gathers a piece of information missing that is needed to guide decision-making about ROSE as universal prevention. We will assess ROSE as universal, selective, and indicated prevention in terms of: (1) ROSE effectiveness relative to a control for each prevention approach in preventing PPD and improving functioning; (2) cost outcome, (3) equity and (4) scalability of each prevention approach; and (5) mechanisms of ROSE effects across PPD risk levels. We will integrate results to advise about ROSE as universal prevention. This definitive PPD prevention trial will show how best to get an evidence-based program to those who need it in settings where they receive perinatal care by addressing a pragmatic and novel question (should ROSE be universal prevention?) and by examining equity and cost-outcome of universal vs. other prevention approaches.

Mobile App Exercise Intervention for Pregnancy
Bowling Green, Kentucky
The overarching goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to test the efficacy of the mHealth app (BumptUp) for improving physical activity levels among pregnant and postpartum women in a rural setting. Secondary outcomes include weight status, dietary intake, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, and mental health.
Specific Aim 1. Conduct an RCT (N=176) to assess the efficacy of the mHealth intervention for increasing physical activity levels during pregnancy (13-15, 23-25, and 35-37 weeks gestation) and postpartum (6 and 12 weeks) among women in a rural setting.
Research Activities: The efficacy of BumptUp® will be determined by measuring physical activity levels (via accelerometry and surveys) between women who use the mobile app (intervention) and women who use only an educational brochure (attention control).
Specific Aim 2: Assess the efficacy of the mHealth intervention on important obstetric outcomes including maternal weight status, dietary intake, glucose tolerance, blood pressure, and mental health.
Research Activities: Maternal weight status, glucose tolerance, and blood pressure values will be obtained from patient charts. Dietary intake will be assessed via the National Cancer Institute Multifactor Screener. Maternal mental health status will be measured via The Edinberg Postpartum Depression Questionnaire, Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory.

Oxytocin for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Toronto, Ontario
This study is designed to determine the minimal effective oxytocin maintenance infusion required in labouring women undergoing cesarean delivery to achieve the best effect. Oxytocin is a drug that is routinely used to help the uterus to contract and keep it contracted after delivery. Consequently, it will help to reduce blood loss after delivery. In order to determine the minimal effective dose, the investigators will conduct a dose-finding study. The first patient will receive a set oxytocin infusion. The next patient's infusion dose of oxytocin, will either increase or decrease, depending on how the previous patient responds in terms of uterine tone. If the response is satisfactory with the infusion dose used, the next patient will either receive the same infusion dose or it will be decreased depending on a probability of 1:9. If the response is not satisfactory, then the infusion dose will increase for the next patient. The dose for each patient will be determined based on the results of the uterine contraction of the previous patient.
The investigators hypothesize that the ED90 of the oxytocin infusion rate to maintain adequate uterine tone in labouring women with induced or augmented labour undergoing cesarean delivery, following an initial effective bolus dose, would be lower than 0.74 IU/min (44 IU/h), which was found as the ED90 in a previous study, without an initial bolus dose prior to the infusion.

Carbetocin vs Oxytocin for Postpartum Hemorrhage
Toronto, Ontario
The goal of this study is to compare 2 medications that are commonly used to prevent excess uterine bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage, or PPH) following cesarean delivery (CD), oxytocin and carbetocin. Most of the trials evaluating the preventative role of oxytocin and carbetocin after CD have focused on patient with low-risk of PPH.
This trial will focus on patients that are at increased risk of PPH, with risk factors such as: multiple gestation (twins, or more multiples), large baby, polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid), history of PPH, body mass index greater than 40, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and placenta previa.
The investigators hypothesize that carbetocin would be more effective than an oxytocin regimen in reducing the risk of PPH in patients undergoing CD with any of the biological high-risk factors.

Lifestyle Intervention vs Metformin for Gestational Diabetes
Washington, District of Columbia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month lifestyle intervention compared to Metformin in postpartum women who have delivered a singleton, live born infant within the last 12 weeks to 1 year and had a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes. The main question this study aims to answer is:
Is a Lifestyle Intervention or Metformin more effective for weight loss in postpartum women with recent gestational diabetes?
Researchers will compare a 6-month Lifestyle Intervention and Metformin to see if either intervention is more effective in achieving weight loss and improving health outcomes.
Participants will:
* Attend an in-person baseline visit to receive a Bluetooth-enabled scale and Fitbit, have blood drawn for testing, and have their height, weight, and blood pressure measured. Participants will also be asked to bring in their infant, and the study team will measure the infant's weight and length.
* Track diet, physical activity, and weight using the Fitbit and Looseit! apps.
* Attend weekly online group sessions for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly sessions.
* If not meeting weight loss goals, be randomized to either Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention or Metformin arms of the study.
* If randomized to Metformin, participants will attend one in-person meeting with the study provider, get blood drawn for testing, and undergo a urine pregnancy test before starting the medication.
* Continue with biweekly group sessions or have regular check-in calls.
* If randomized to the Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention, participants will get a free Instacart membership, a 1:1 session with the study health counselor focused on meal planning and free grocery delivery once a week for the remainder of the study.
* Participants will meet every other week via Zoom with the health counselor and other participants in the enhanced lifestyle arm.
* At the end of the 6 months, all participants will come for an in-person visit to get blood drawn for testing. Participants will also be asked to bring in their infant, and the study team will measure the infant's weight and length.

Enhanced Postpartum Visits for New Mothers
Baltimore, Maryland
The United States is in the midst of a maternal mortality and morbidity crisis, with more than half of maternal deaths occurring within the first postpartum year. Patients with hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) and diabetes have been found to be particularly high-risk, as they have a significantly increased risk for the development of cardiovascular disease in the long-term postpartum period. Traditionally, postpartum care has consisted of a single office visit at six weeks postpartum. Recent research has suggested that postpartum care should be an ongoing process, tailored to each woman's specifics needs. The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the effectiveness of obstetric care providers as primary care providers for patients at increased risk of maternal morbidity and mortality in the full first postpartum year.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Pregnancy Or Postpartum clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Pregnancy Or Postpartum clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Pregnancy Or Postpartum trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Pregnancy Or Postpartum is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Pregnancy Or Postpartum medical study?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Pregnancy Or Postpartum clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Rehabilitation Program for Postpartum Hypertension, LPCN 1154A for Postpartum Depression and Facilitated Transition to Primary Care for Postpartum to the Power online platform.
