About this study

The study intends to develop a predictive model of spontaneous onset of labor between 39 and 41 weeks of pregnancy in women carrying singletons and without indication of delivery before this date. The main hypothesis is that a combination of clinical, ultrasonographic, biochemical and/or biophysical variables will allow to differentiate women who will spontaneously trigger their labors from those who will require an induction by the term of their pregnancies. A tool of this kind should aid in the individualization of the management of the final weeks of pregnancy and, at the light of recent evidence, provide support to the decision-making processes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Spontaneous versus induced onset of labor

    Number of participants who will spontaneously go into labor between the 39th and the 41st week of pregnancy versus number of participants requiring an induction of labor during the 41st week of pregnancy due to advanced gestational age

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Gestational age at spontaneous onset of labor

    Time from sample collection at 39 weeks of pregnancy to spontaneous onset of labor

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Gestational age at spontaneous onset of labor

    Time from sample collection at 40 weeks of pregnancy to spontaneous onset of labor

    Measured: 1 week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Labor, Induced and Labor, Obstetric, run by University Hospital, Geneva at 3 sites in Switzerland.

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 5 inclusion and 25 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 28 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Switzerland. 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.

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?

Spontaneous versus induced onset of labor (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 NCT05109247, 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 28 Mar 2023.
