About this study
In plain language
ASPIRE studies whether signs in blood and eye images can help predict pregnancy problems and poor outcomes. These problems include preeclampsia (high blood pressure during pregnancy), poor growth of the baby, and diabetes during pregnancy. It is for adults pregnant with one baby who have had no previous births at 20 weeks or later; it observes pregnancy without testing a treatment.
ASPIRE will be a multi-site, prospective, two-part longitudinal, noninterventional observational cohort study of nulliparous singleton pregnant women to evaluate biomarkers from blood and ocular imaging for prediction of pregnancy complications \[i.e., preeclampsia (PE), fetal growth restriction (FGR), and gestational diabetes (GDM)\] and risk of adverse outcomes.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have had no previous births at 20 weeks of pregnancy or later.
- An ultrasound shows one living baby and a pregnancy between 10 weeks, 0 days and 17 weeks, 6 days.
- You can agree to join and complete study steps and follow-up visits.
Who can't join
- You are pregnant with more than one baby.
- You cannot give a blood sample.
- Your baby has a known chromosome problem (a problem with genetic material) or a birth defect that may affect health, survival, body function, or thinking.
- You cannot, or likely cannot, complete follow-up through birth at the study site, such as because of a move or change in pregnancy care.
- You are in a study that tests a treatment or other intervention, or were in one within the past two months.
