Placental Transfusion in Term Infants: A Pilot Study

NCT01924572 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The proposed study is a pilot prospective controlled trial to measure the blood volume left in the placenta after varying cord clamping times when the infant is placed skin-to-skin on the maternal abdomen. Delaying cord clamping has been shown to decrease anemia in infants. However, the best way to get the most blood to the baby is not known. The practice of cord clamping at birth is not the same among doctors and midwives and we do not know the effect of putting he baby on the mother's abdomen.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01924572

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01924572 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 32 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Rhode Island, which has 41 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Anemia appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which cord clamping at 2 minutes is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01924572 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Rhode Island. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
