Comparing two drugs to reduce bleeding during fibroid surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial compares two medications (ergometrine and carbetocin) given during surgery to see which one is better at reducing bleeding while removing fibroids. Both drugs help the uterus contract to control blood loss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 25 and 48 years old.
- You have fibroids that are inside the uterine wall (not inside the cavity or attached by a stalk).
- The largest fibroid is no bigger than about 20 cm (the size of a small melon).
- You are planning to have open surgery (abdominal myomectomy) to remove fibroids.
- You have not used any hormone medications (like birth control pills) in the last 3 months.
- You do not have any bleeding disorder, are not on blood thinners, and do not have high blood pressure or heart/lung disease.

This trial compares two surgical techniques to reduce bleeding during surgery to remove fibroids (benign tumors) from the uterus. The goal is to find the safest, least-bloody approach for women who need this procedure.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
This study tests whether using a special gel inside the uterus after fibroid removal surgery helps prevent scar tissue from forming. The gel is placed during the operation, and the goal is to keep the uterus healthy for future pregnancies.
This trial compares two injected medicines (terlipressin vs carbetocin) given into the uterus during open fibroid (myomectomy) surgery to see which one reduces blood loss and helps maintain hemoglobin. It may help patients by targeting lower bleeding during surgery.
This trial tests whether temporarily clamping the main blood vessels to the uterus during laparoscopic fibroid removal can reduce blood loss. It is for women with up to four fibroids who are planning this type of surgery.
This trial compares two methods to reduce bleeding during minimally invasive surgery to remove fibroids (noncancerous growths) from the uterus. You'll receive either a temporary tourniquet (a band that temporarily stops blood flow) or an injection of epinephrine (adrenaline) around the fibroid, and doctors will measure which approach works better and is safer.
