About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial of Foley Bulb Induction With and Without Simultaneous Use of Oxytocin

This study is considering current standard oxytocin dosing regimen in combination with Foley bulb for cervical ripening is associated with improved outcomes including greater percentage of women delivered within or less than 24 hours. The investigators will also assess other maternal and neonatal outcomes including risk of infection (i.e. chorioamnionitis), bleeding, uterine atony, cesarean delivery and use of regional analgesia.

Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the 2 arms of the study: use of oxytocin or no oxytocin while the Foley bulb is in place. As part of standard of care for inductions, Foley bulbs will be placed for all participants. Study participants who are randomly assigned to the use of oxytocin will receive oxytocin at the time the Foley bulb is placed. Study participants randomly assigned to no oxytocin will receive the oxytocin once the Foley bulb is removed.

After delivery, information will be collected from participant's chart on the outcome of pregnancy such as gestational age at delivery, type of delivery (vaginal or cesarean section), and baby's outcome (such as birth weight, APGAR scores, and any complications).

Read the detailed description

Currently there is a paucity of literature to determine the efficacy of use of Pitocin during Foley placement, a single study has been published which suggests that the induction to delivery time is shortened in multiparas, but not in nulliparas. This study was not specifically powered to assess nulliparas as well, without increased risk.

What is being measured

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

  1. induction time to delivery

    The time from induction to delivery will be starting from the time the first induction agent is used on the patient until the official time of birth of the neonate.

    Measured: Time from induction to delivery, average 12-28 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mode of delivery

    The mode of delivery is ascertained from the delivery summary as either spontaneous vaginal delivery, cesarean delivery, vacuum assisted vaginal delivery, or forcep assisted vaginal delivery.

    Measured: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth

  2. estimated blood loss

    Measured: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth

  3. uterine atony

    uterine atony is assessed by both provider report and/or the use of uterotonics as indicated by the chart.

    Measured: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth

  4. chorioamnionitis

    Chorioamnionitis is ascertained from provider report as fever with either maternal/fetal tachycardia, fundal tenderness, or foul smelling fluid while the patient is in labor.

    Measured: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth

  5. neonatal birthweight

    Measured: average of 12-28 hours from induction until official time of birth

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Oxytocin in people with Induction of Labor, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 2 sites in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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 12 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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 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.

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?

induction time to delivery (time frame: Time from induction to delivery, average 12-28 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02098421, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Jun 2017.
