FETO Trial Summary

This trial is testing a new medical procedure to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant individuals with a single fetus diagnosed with severe left-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) and liver up, without other fetal anomalies or maternal health risks. The gestational age must be between 27 weeks and 31 weeks 6 days at the time of the FETO procedure, depending on specific lung-to-head ratio measurements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests the safety and effectiveness of Fetoscopic Endoluminal Tracheal Occlusion (FETO), using BALT GoldbBAL2 Detachable Balloon and Catheter System to treat CDH in fetuses by occluding the trachea to promote lung growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications from fetoscopic surgery such as preterm labor, membrane rupture, or infection. There could also be risks associated with anesthesia during the procedure.

Who qualifies for the opportunity to take part in this research project?

"This clinical trial is currently searching for 10 individuals with Morgagni hernias, aged between 18 and 50. Those who wish to participate must meet the following criteria: single pregnancy, isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia with liver up, gestational age prior to 29 weeks 6 days (as measured via ultrasound), a lung-to head circumference ratio of less than 25% from 180 - 296 weeks gestation, greater than or equal to 25%, but less than 30% from 300 - 316 weeks gestation; psychosocial fitness as determined by an evaluation team; normal fetal karyotype confirmed through culture results or fluorescence in"

Answered by AI

Are there any particular goals this clinical trial seeks to accomplish?

"This clinical trial will assess the Gestational Age at Delivery over a maximum of 34 weeks. Secondary objectives are to quantify the Number of days of ventilator support, neonatal intensive care unit residency and Diaphragmatic Repair experienced by recruited infants."

Answered by AI

Are participants over 25 years of age eligible for this research trial?

"This clinical trial is restricted to patients aged 18-50. If a participant does not meet this criteria, there are 30 studies available for those under the age of majority and 204 for senior citizens above 65 years old."
