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 trial tests whether a gel placed in the uterus after fibroid removal reduces scar tissue (adhesions). It may help women who still want to become pregnant or have had trouble conceiving.
This study looks at whether removing certain uterine fibroids (myomectomy) affects IVF outcomes. It may help doctors understand which fibroid patterns are most beneficial to treat before IVF.
This trial tests different methods to minimize blood loss during laparoscopic surgery to remove uterine fibroids. It may help women with heavy bleeding or trouble getting pregnant.
This study compares two different medications given as shots during laparoscopic fibroid (myomectomy) surgery. The goal is to see which shot better reduces blood loss and helps keep hemoglobin (a blood oxygen-carrying protein) from dropping too much.
