Clinical Trials

The Renal Agenesis Fetal Therapy (RAFT) Trial


This study offers eligible pregnant patients with a fetal diagnosis of congenital bilateral renal agenesis (CoBRA) serial amnioinfusions with normal saline. All eligible patients will be offered intervention but may also elect expectant management.


Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy (RAFT) Trial


The Renal Anhydramnios Fetal Therapy (RAFT) study is testing an experimental treatment for mothers and their babies affected by early pregnancy renal anhydramnios (EPRA). The study seeks to determine whether repeated injections of fluid (amnioinfusions) into the uterus can reverse the effects of EPRA such that affected babies have enough lung function to survive outside the womb.
