Hearty Meals for Mom- Pilot Study of Meal Delivery for Cardiometabolic Health During Pregnancy
NCT05512247 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study is being done to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary impact of a meal delivery intervention designed to improve diet quality and promote appropriate gestational weight gain among predominantly Black and low-income pregnant women with overweight or obesity. This will be done by 1) assessing the feasibility and acceptability of the meal delivery intervention; 2) investigating changes in patient-reported diet quality, barriers to healthy eating, and food security; and 3) exploring the preliminary impact of the meal delivery intervention on gestational weight gain and blood pressure and estimate the effect size of the intervention relative to a de-identified non-randomized control group that will be derived from de-identified hospital records.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT05512247
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT05512247 describes a study currently listed as active not 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 17 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Alabama at Birmingham, which has 1,315 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Pregnancy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Meal Delivery 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: NCT05512247 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Alabama. 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.
