Oxytocin is the first-line drug to promote contraction of the uterus and prevent atony immediately after delivery. Nonetheless, unpredictable uterine atony refractory to oxytocin affects roughly 250,000 parturients annually in the U.S. and rates are increasing. This two-part study will measure the action of oxytocin at cesarean delivery. The first part will measure the pharmacokinetics of a single intravenous (IV) dose of deuterium-labeled oxytocin. The second part will measure the pharmacodynamics of all plasma oxytocin to see how concentrations correspond to the contractile effect on the uterus. After delivery of the fetus, study subjects will receive a bolus of IV deuterated oxytocin followed by an unlabeled oxytocin infusion. Venous blood samples drawn at multiple time points (within 1 hour after delivery) will be analyzed for plasma concentrations of labeled and unlabeled (endogenous + exogenous infused) oxytocin over time. Plasma concentrations will be compared with 0-10 uterine tone scores measuring uterine contraction strength, to describe the concentration-effect relationship. The goal of this study is to define both the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of oxytocin in parturients to help identify the cause(s) of failed first-line oxytocin therapy.

This study will investigate the effects of drugs called "uterotonics" that help with the contraction of the uterus after a baby is born. This uterine contraction is very important to stop the bleeding after delivery. An uncontracted uterine state is called "uterine atony", which can lead to an excessive amount of post-delivery bleeding. Carbetocin is an uterotonic drug that works well to prevent post-delivery bleeding. In some cases, carbetocin is not enough to contract the uterus, and ongoing bleeding continues. When that happens, there are other uterotonic medications that can be used. In this study, we aim to find which uterotonic drug, amongst those available (oxytocin, carbetocin, ergometrine or carboprost), is more effective to lower the risk of post-delivery bleeding once carbetocin has already been administered. This study will be done by using a very small sample of uterine tissue, taken from the incision site, following delivery by cesarean section. The sample is taken to the laboratory and will be exposed to carbetocin followed by other uterotonic drugs. The information obtained from this study will help modify the treatment for uterine atony and post-delivery bleeding to lower the risk further.

This study is designed to determine the minimal effective oxytocin maintenance infusion required in labouring women undergoing cesarean delivery to achieve the best effect. Oxytocin is a drug that is routinely used to help the uterus to contract and keep it contracted after delivery. Consequently, it will help to reduce blood loss after delivery. In order to determine the minimal effective dose, the investigators will conduct a dose-finding study. The first patient will receive a set oxytocin infusion. The next patient's infusion dose of oxytocin, will either increase or decrease, depending on how the previous patient responds in terms of uterine tone. If the response is satisfactory with the infusion dose used, the next patient will either receive the same infusion dose or it will be decreased depending on a probability of 1:9. If the response is not satisfactory, then the infusion dose will increase for the next patient. The dose for each patient will be determined based on the results of the uterine contraction of the previous patient. The investigators hypothesize that the ED90 of the oxytocin infusion rate to maintain adequate uterine tone in labouring women with induced or augmented labour undergoing cesarean delivery, following an initial effective bolus dose, would be lower than 0.74 IU/min (44 IU/h), which was found as the ED90 in a previous study, without an initial bolus dose prior to the infusion.

In part 1 of the study, the investigators conducted a prospective, open-label, dose finding pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 43 pregnant 3rd trimester women scheduled for non-emergent cesarean section. The investigators administered three doses of the drug (5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg) in an escalating fashion by cohort with the lowest dose first. The drug was administered intravenously at the time of umbilical cord clamping for a non-emergent cesarean section. A maximum of 1 gram was administered. TXA serum levels at several time points after delivery were assayed to see if they reach the target plasma concentration of 10 microg/mL. A PK model was constructed for determining the optimal TXA dose administered at parturition. In part 2 of the study, the investigators aim to compare PKPD endpoints using prophylactic TXA via IV and IM routes administered pre-cord clamp. The investigators will administer 1000 mg TXA within 10 minutes of skin incision via intravenous infusion (up to n=15), intravenous bolus \< 2 minutes (up to n=15) and intramuscular injection (up to n=15). The investigators will target women undergoing scheduled cesarean delivery greater than 34 weeks gestation, women undergoing vaginal delivery \> 34 weeks of gestation and morbidly obese women (BMI\>=40) undergoing either a vaginal or cesarean delivery. The investigators will use advanced modeling techniques to determine time to achieve PKPD targets and duration remaining at those targets. The goal will be to determine how the optimal dose may vary if route of administration is modified. The investigators plan to enroll 45 patients in addition to the 43 that were enrolled during part 1. Our goal is to 30 participants, but the investigators will enroll 45 to account for lost to follow-up. The investigatorsalso aim to enroll 30 patients undergoing vaginal delivery and 30 morbidly obese women (BMI \> 50) undergoing either a vaginal or cesarean delivery but the investigators will enroll 45 patients for each of these groups to account for loss to follow up. In addition, the investigators will enroll 30 pregnant patients receiving no medication acting as the control group, but the investigators will enroll 45 to account for loss to follow up.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) continues to be an increasing problem globally. Uterotonics play an essential role in the pharmacological management of uterine atony. Carbetocin, a long acting analog of oxytocin has been recommended as a first line uterotonic for PPH prophylaxis at cesarean delivery. Considering many woman have associated comorbidities and are at high risk of PPH, finding alternative pharmacological agents is essential. Calcium is a key factor for myometrial contractions and calcium blood levels can be low at the end of pregnancy. Both hypocalcemia and hypercalcemia could lead to a decrease in myometrial contractions. It is already been demonstrated that in both desensitized and naïve myometrium, normocalcemia provides a better uterine tone compared to hypo and hypercalcemia when oxytocin is given as the first uterotonic drug. Currently, the role of extracelullar calcium in carbetocin- induced contractility is unknown. This will be the first ex vivo study to test the effects of extracellular calcium on oxytocin pretreated and naive myometrium. The results of this study will provide evidence on the use of this safe drug in clinical practice, particularly in women with labour arrest, and provide alternative pharmacological strategies to both prevention and treatment of PPH, thus improving our clinical practice. The investigators hypothesize that extracellular normocalcemia would provide superior carbetocin-mediated contractility in both naive and oxytocin-pretreated myometrium compared with hypercalcemia and hypocalcemia.

The goal of this study is to compare 2 medications that are commonly used to prevent excess uterine bleeding (postpartum hemorrhage, or PPH) following cesarean delivery (CD), oxytocin and carbetocin. Most of the trials evaluating the preventative role of oxytocin and carbetocin after CD have focused on patient with low-risk of PPH. This trial will focus on patients that are at increased risk of PPH, with risk factors such as: multiple gestation (twins, or more multiples), large baby, polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid), history of PPH, body mass index greater than 40, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and placenta previa. The investigators hypothesize that carbetocin would be more effective than an oxytocin regimen in reducing the risk of PPH in patients undergoing CD with any of the biological high-risk factors.

This research project aims to enhance the safety of childbirth by using advanced computer models to predict the risk of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). PPH is a significant concern for mothers during and after delivery. Current risk assessment tools are basic and do not adapt to changing conditions. This study will investigate whether a new and recently validated model for predicting PPH, combined with a provider-facing Best Practice Advisory (BPA) regarding currently recommended strategies triggered by an increased predicted risk, can improve perinatal outcomes. This study will compare the current category based risk assessment tool with a new, enhanced prediction model which calculates risk based on 21 factors, automatically updates as new information becomes available during labor and, if elevated, provides a provider-facing Best Practice Advisory (BPA) recommending consideration of strategies that are institutionally agreed to represent high-quality practice. Investigators hypothesize that the enhanced care approach will result in improved perinatal outcomes. The goal of the study is to improve the wellbeing of mothers during childbirth by harnessing the power of modern technology and data analysis.

To determine the effectiveness of using two medications simultaneously versus one medication, as is standard of care, in preventing early postpartum hemorrhage. There have been studies that looked at giving two medications and that there were reduced odds of postpartum hemorrhage. Specific Aim 1: Determine if double simultaneous uterotonic agent regimen (misoprostol and oxytocin) is superior to single agent (oxytocin only) in reducing postpartum hemorrhage. Specific Aim 2: Determine any potential side effects of a double simultaneous uterotonic agentregimen (misoprostol and oxytocin) versus a single agent (oxytocin only).

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Postpartum Hemorrhage clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Postpartum Hemorrhage clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Postpartum Hemorrhage trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Postpartum Hemorrhage is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Postpartum Hemorrhage medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Postpartum Hemorrhage clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Carbetocin for Postpartum Hemorrhage, Postpartum Aspirin for Blood Clots and Double Uterotonic Agents for Postpartum Hemorrhage to the Power online platform.
