About this study

Official title: Does Vaginal Washing Before Inserting Dinoprostone Affect the Success Rate of the Labour Induction?

Investigators will use dinoprostone(Propess TM) for cervix ripening and labor induction in term pregnant women.Vaginal pH base is achieved with the effect of hormones in pregnancy and associated with this, vaginal infections rates increase. With the vaginal application of Propess, the preparate remains in the vagina for a long time, with controlled release,creating a film layer against bacteria and especially fungal infections and it was thought that this could be a reason for unsuccessful birth induction by preventing release of this ovule.

The aim of this study is to observe whether or not the rate of caesareans with the indication of unsuccessful induction was reduced in patients by reducing the density of vaginal bacteria and fungi with vaginal lavage and thereby increasing the effect of the drug and decreasing the rate of unsuccessful inductions.

Read the detailed description

The study will include patients meeting the study criteria monitored in the delivery .

Verbal and written informed consent will be obtained from all patients before starting the study. The patients will be randomised to 2 groups. In one group, vaginal lavage (the vagina will first be washed with saline in a 20cc injector) will be applied then Propess will be used and in the other group Propess will be used without any lavage.

It is planned to include 70 patients in each group.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • vaginal lavage groupProcedure or surgery

    vaginal washing will be applied with steril %0.9 NaCl serum (20cc) before intravaginal PGE2 insertion.

  • Control GroupProcedure or surgery

    vaginal washing will be not applied with steril %0.9 NaCl serum (20cc) before intravaginal PGE2 insertion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Succesful cervical repining which allows succesful vaginal delivery

    Cervical ripening is defined cervical Bishop score >5 the indication of unsuccessful induction

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing vaginal lavage group in people with Labor Induction and Dinoprostone Vaginal Insert, run by Zeynep Kamil Maternity and Pediatric Research and Training Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 6 inclusion and 10 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Succesful cervical repining which allows succesful vaginal delivery (time frame: 12 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Jan 2018.
