Therapeutic Omegas for Triglyceride Suppression
NCT04349475 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study plans to learn more about how an omega-3 fatty acid supplement effects triglyceride levels in pregnancy. Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body converts extra calories into triglycerides to be stored and used later for energy. It is normal for triglyceride levels to go up during pregnancy however some women have levels that are \~30-40% higher than normal when they reach their third trimester of pregnancy. Having high triglycerides in pregnancy may be related to an increased chance of having a baby that is large for their age. The goal of this study is to determine if taking an omega-3 fatty acid supplement can slow the rise in triglyceride levels later in pregnancy.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04349475
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04349475 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. 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 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Colorado, Denver, which has 1,447 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 Pregnancy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Intervention Omega 3 Supplementation 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: NCT04349475 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Colorado, Oklahoma. 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.
