Safety check of medicine to start labor
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests the safety of a medicine used to help start labor (“induction”). It may help by aiming for a safer, smoother induction process for people who are ready to deliver and meet specific pregnancy and health criteria.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are pregnant, having a first baby, and at least 37 weeks along

This study tests whether adding papaverine, a smooth-muscle relaxant, to the standard labor-inducing drug oxytocin can make labor quicker and safer. It is for first-time mothers carrying a single baby head-down who need to start labor with oxytocin.
This study tests whether gently stimulating the nipples can help trigger labor in pregnant people who are ready to deliver. Researchers want to know if it's safe, effective, and acceptable to patients and healthcare providers.
This study compares different ways to start labor when it hasn't begun naturally. It may help you if your pregnancy is full-term and your cervix isn't ready yet, and your baby is in a good position for a vaginal birth.
This trial tests a new sensor system (called INGA) to monitor your baby's heartbeat and your contractions during labor induction. It is for full-term pregnant women with an unripe cervix who are planning to have labor started using a balloon catheter.
This study tests a new balloon catheter device (Inga Catheter) to see if it is safe and easy to use for starting labor. It may help women with an unripe cervix who need to be induced.
This study tests starting labor in women with a BMI of 40 or higher. The goal is to learn if certain methods are safe and effective for this group.
