Summary

This study is designed to determine if quantitative analysis of fetal Fibronectin (fFN) can be used to advance prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). This will be a prospective observational multi-center study with approximately 15 to 20 US sites, and approximately 1210 subjects evaluating the clinical utility of the Rapid fFN 10Q system for preterm birth risk assessment. A single fFN specimen will be collected from each subject between 16 weeks, 0 days and 21 weeks, 6 days. The primary and secondary maternal outcome measures will be determined based on the date of delivery and the estimated date of confinement (EDC), which will be evaluated in a standardized manner.
