Comparing two labor-starting medicines after water breaks early
This study compares two medicines to start labor after your water breaks early: one medicine (PGE2) is given first, then another (oxytocin), versus giving oxytocin alone. It aims to see which approach leads to a safer and smoother delivery.

Can oxytocin spray improve sex life in people with AVP deficiency?
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing oxytocin can improve sexual well-being in people with a condition called arginine vasopressin deficiency (a problem with a hormone that controls water balance). Healthy volunteers who have mild sexual issues will also take part for comparison. Participants receive either the oxytocin spray or a placebo and fill out questionnaires about their sex life.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07093060RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Oxytocin and atosiban effects on social attention

Comparing two ways to start labor after water breaks early
This trial tests if adding a Foley bulb to oxytocin is better than oxytocin alone for inducing labor when your water has broken early (between 34 and 37 weeks). It aims to find the safest and most effective method to help you deliver.
Norfolk, VirginiaAges 18–50 - NCT07140237RecruitingEarly Phase 1

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Oxytocin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 59 recruiting studies that include Oxytocin, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Oxytocin trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Oxytocin an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Oxytocin or a specific trial is right for you.
