About this study

Official title: Comparative Study Between Oxytocin Versus Tranexamic Acid and Ethamsylate to Reduce Blood Loss Intraoperative and Post Operative During Elective Cesarean Section

Comparative Study Between Oxytocin Versus Tranexamic Acid and Ethamsylate, Pre-operative Administration.

Read the detailed description

Caesarean Delivery commonly referred to as caesarean section and occasionally caesarean birth is defined as the delivery of a foetus(es) through surgical incisions made through the anterior abdominal wall (technically referred to as laparotomy) and the anterior uterine wall (technically denoted to as hysterotomy).

Obstetric Hemorrhage (Intra operative OR post operative bleeding)is still the major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide contributing to nearly 25% of direct maternal deaths. And accounts for 50% of maternal mortality in low-income countries.

So many Strategies reducing the intraoperative blood loss or post operative blood loss could be helpful in decreasing the risks of blood transfusion and the postoperative maternal morbidity.

So these Medications are such as Oxytocin, Carbetocin, Misoprostol, Prostaglandin F2 alpha, methylergonovine, Tranexamic acid and Etamsylate . have been tried before to control bleeding during and after Cesarean Section.

Receives: Drug: Oxytocin ,Tranexamic acid and Ethamsylate

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative and Post operative bleeding(defined as blood loss ≥500 cc)

    Outcome of the study will be measured in terms of assessment of Hemoglobin level and Hematocrit level pre and post operatively.

    Measured: First 2 hours after C-Section

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Sever PPH as bleeding is >1000 cc

    Outcome of the study will be measured in terms of assessment of Hemoglobin level and Hematocrit level post operatively.

    Measured: first 24 hours after C-Section

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Oxytocin ,Tranexamic acid and Ethamsylate in people with Blood Loss, Surgical and Blood Loss, Postoperative, run by Egymedicalpedia at 1 site in Egypt.

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 7 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Mar 2022. 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 Egypt. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Intraoperative and Post operative bleeding(defined as blood loss ≥500 cc) (time frame: First 2 hours after C-Section). 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 17 Mar 2022.
