Does vascular endothelial growth factor gene therapy safely improve outcome in severe early-onset fetal growth restriction? (EVERREST)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2018,

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) globally occurs in 8% of pregnancies, is severe and early onset in 1:500 cases, affecting 11,000 babies annually in the EU.
