About this study

Official title: Tampostat: A Low-cost, Self-regulating Tamponade for Management of Postpartum Hemorrhage in Bangladesh

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety, feasibility and applicability of a new device 'Tampostat' in the management of primary postpartum hemorrhage and compare the efficacy of 'Tampostat' in terms of arresting primary PPH with that of the conventional condom catheter.

Read the detailed description

This will be a 2-year study having two parts. Part A will be a Proof of Concept (POC) study that will be conducted at the Obstetrical Ward of Shaheed Suhrawardi Medical College Hospital (ShSMCH) and Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). There is no sample size estimation of this POC study that will assess safety, feasibility and applicability of using Tampostat on 5 consenting women with PPH for each hospital. Part B of the study will be an open label, randomized clinical trial that will be conducted at the Obstetrical Ward of Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH). In this part, 344 consenting women with primary PPH will be enrolled, and allocated to either Tampostat or the control intervention in equal numbers per randomization (172 patients in each arm). In both these parts, Tampostat will be used only when Active Management of Third Stage of Labour (AMTSL) has failed to prevent PPH within 24 hours after delivery. All the doctors involved in the provision of care and treatment to PPH patients will be trained on the WHO's standard of care; they will also receive training on appropriate use of the devices to be used in this trial. An expert committee constituted of OBGYN professionals, clinical trial specialists, and statisticians will oversee the technical management of patients, data collection and their procedures, and ethical issues in this trial.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TampostatExperimentalTampostat™ is a self-regulating, low cost, pressure based emergency obstetric device designed specifically for use in low-resource settings. It has 6 parts: probe, condom, O ring, nerve centre, tube and bulb pump. It offers significant benefits over the current model by simplifying the insertion process, reducing the need for constant monitoring, eliminating leakage and the need for sterile saline, and using a pressure-based mechanism to apply consistent pressure to all women regardless of uterus size.Women who develop PPH even after applying AMTSL at the hospital or women who visit the hospital with PPH within 24 hours after delivery will be managed by Tampostat for the intervention arm or by the condom catheter tamponade in the control arm(172 patients in each arm)
Receives: Device: Tampostat
Condom catheter tamponadeActive comparatorCondom catheter tamponade have been used by medical professionals for several years in the management of atonic (primary) PPH. In this approach, Sterile rubber catheter fitted with a condom as a tamponade balloon device and using normal saline to inflate the condom.
Receives: Device: Condom catheter tamponade

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety of Tampostat as measured by number of serious adverse events in primary PPH management

    The safety of Tampostat [no. of Serious adverse events i.e. Incidence of air embolism, injury to the uterine wall, pain during inflation of condom \& continuation of vaginal /uterine bleeding during use of Tampostat] in primary PPH management.

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Efficacy of Tampostat as measured by number of successful cases in arresting bleeding in Primary PPH

    Efficacy [number of successful cases in arresting bleeding due to primary PPH from atonic uterus] of Tampostat in the management of primary postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Comparison of the efficacy of Tampostat as measured by number of successful cases in arresting primary PPH and the time takes to arrest the bleeding with that of the condom catheter tamponade

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Feasibility as measured by number of physicians consider Tampostat as a feasible device in arresting primary PPH

    The feasibility of Tampostat[number of physicians consider Tampostat as a feasible device in arresting primary PPH due to atonic uterus] in the management of primary PPH by

    Measured: 2 months

  2. Applicability of Tampostat as measured by rating by service providers using pre established scoring system in the management of primary PPH

    Applicability[rating by service providers on applicability of the device using pre established scoring system]of Tampostat in the management of primary PPH due to atonic uterus.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Tampostat and Condom catheter tamponade in people with Postpartum Hemorrhage, run by International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh at 1 site in Bangladesh.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 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 Bangladesh. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Safety of Tampostat as measured by number of serious adverse events in primary PPH management (time frame: 2 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02416089, which also lists 21 linked publications.

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 26 Nov 2018.
