About this study
Official title: Phase 2-3 Study of Comparative of Effects of Sublingual Misoprostol and Infusion Oxytocin in Reduction of Blood Loss at Cesarean Deliveries
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the effect of sublingual misoprostol is better than infusion oxytocin in reduction of blood loss at cesarean deliveries.
Read the detailed description
A total of 180 pregnant women with gestational age 37 weeks and over who underwent cesarean operation in Imam Reza hospital had elective or emergency procedure with incision in lower segment during one year recruitment. The patients were randomly assigned to undergo 200 micrograms misoprostol sublingual or 400 micrograms and infusion 20 unit oxytocin after spinal anesthesia. Main outcome measures: The length of surgery, bleeding volume, the need for transfusion, fever, tachycardia, and hypotension.

A Phase 2/3 study testing Misoprostol in people with Bleeding Intraoperative, run by Soudabeh Eshghi ali at 1 site in Iran.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
