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.

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

This study compares two ways of starting labour in full-term pregnancies to see which method is safer and more effective. If you are nearing your due date and need induction, this trial might help determine the best approach for you and your baby.
This trial compares starting labor induction at home versus in the hospital using a small balloon catheter. If you are close to your due date and need to be induced, this study may let you start the process in the comfort of your home.
This study tests whether nipple stimulation is a safe and acceptable way to help start labor in women who are being induced (labor induced) at the hospital. If you participate, you may be asked to use nipple stimulation and answer questions about your experience.
This study tests whether using a small device that sends gentle electrical pulses (called TENS) along with the usual medicine for starting labor can help soften the cervix and make labor more comfortable. It might help you have a smoother induction experience.
This trial compares different methods for inducing labor to see which works best, is safest, and gives the most satisfaction. It may help you if you need to have your labor started in the hospital.
This trial tests whether drinking a bicarbonate solution (a type of buffer) during slow labour can help first-time mothers avoid needing a vacuum or forceps to deliver. If you are in early labour and it is progressing slowly, this treatment might help you have a more natural birth.
