About this study
Official title: : Immediate Post-placental Insertion of the Intrauterine Contraceptive Device During Cesarean Delivery Versus 6 Week Post-Cesarean Insertion
The aim of current study is to compare the rates of IUCD expulsion and complications in immediate post-placental insertion versus delayed IUCD insertion (6-weeks after cesarean delivery)
Read the detailed description
Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are among the most effective forms of contraception, offering greater than 99% efficacy per year of use and are completely reversible .
Post-placental intrauterine device (IUD) insertion is a safe, convenient, and effective option for postpartum contraception. "Post-placental" refers to insertion within 10-15 minutes of placental delivery, after vaginal or cesarean delivery.
- Being tested
- IUCD
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
IUCDDrug
IUCD will be inserted in 100 women post placental removal and will be inserted in anther 100 women after six weeks post cesarean delivery
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Postplacental IUCD Insertion during Cesarean section | Active comparator | IUCD inserted postplacental removal Receives: Drug: IUCD |
| 6 Week Post-Cesarean Insertion of IUCD | Active comparator | IUCD inserted after six weeks post Cesarean section delivery Receives: Drug: IUCD |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Expulsion
The time until expulsion of the IUD will be defined as the time from insertion until expulsion occurred, if known. If the date of expulsion is not known, this will be documented as the day after the IUD was last known to be in place. If a pregnancy is detected and the IUD is absent (and the participant was unaware of expulsion), the expulsion will be assumed to have occurred at the time of conception, as determined by gestational age on ultrasound. Expulsions will be measured as total expulsions and separately noted whether complete or partial
Measured: 3 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Displacement
The displacement is diagnosed by doing trans-vaginal ultrasound that showed IUCD that displaced up or down word
Measured: 3 months
Infection
The diagnosis of PID will be made based on the 2006 CDC guidelines and the criteria used in the PEACH study.
Measured: 3 months
Bleeding
Irregular bleeding (including spotting, light bleeding, heavy or longer menstrual period) are common in the first 3 months and may persist.
Measured: 3 months
Perforation
The diagnosis of a perforation may be made by a transvaginal sonogram that shows no IUD within the uterus and an abdominal radiograph that show IUD within the abdominal cavity.
Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing IUCD in people with Mechanical Complication of Intrauterine Device, run by ALshaimaa Aboalhassan Ali 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 4 inclusion and 5 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 29 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 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 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?
Expulsion (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT03404622, 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 29 Jan 2018.
