Short-term medicine for preterm labor
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a short-term treatment to stop or delay preterm labor in women who are 24–34 weeks pregnant with a single baby. The goal is to help prevent early delivery and give the baby more time to develop.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 45 years old.
- You are pregnant with only one baby (singleton pregnancy).

- You have regular contractions (at least 4 in 20 minutes) and your cervix has started to open (dilation change to 2 cm or more).
- Your water has not broken (intact amniotic sac).

This study tests if taking a combination of magnesium, a natural supplement (palmitoylethanolamide), hyaluronic acid, and vitamins B6 and D can help prevent preterm birth in women with a shorter-than-ideal cervix.
This study tests whether a low dose of a steroid medicine given to pregnant people late in pregnancy can help a baby’s lungs if delivery happens early. If you’re due for late-preterm delivery soon, the trial may help reduce breathing problems in the newborn.
This study tests whether taking a low dose of aspirin every day can help prevent another early birth in women who have had a preterm birth before. It compares aspirin to a placebo (a pill with no active medicine) to see if it is safe and effective.
This trial tests an innovative device that measures risk of preterm birth in pregnant people who come to the emergency room early in pregnancy with signs that labor might start. It may help doctors identify who needs closer monitoring or treatment sooner.
This study tests a new way to predict if you are likely to give birth early, using a simple test when you show signs of early labor. It aims to help doctors decide who really needs treatment and who can be reassured.
This study looks at different care pathways to help lower the risk of preterm birth (birth too early). It will follow pregnant people with a singleton pregnancy to see which approaches may work best for preventing early delivery.
