What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This trial tests whether intentionally rupturing the amniotic sac (breaking the water) early in labour shortens the overall duration of labour in first-time mothers with a full-term pregnancy. Participants are randomly assigned to either have the procedure at 3 cm dilation or to wait for the sac to break naturally. Researchers will compare the average length of labour between the two groups, while closely monitoring both mother and baby for safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Amniotomy (intentional rupture of the amniotic sac during labour)
What this could lead to
If effective, this simple procedure could shorten labour for first-time mothers, potentially reducing distress and the need for further interventions.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all women. Risks include placental abruption, cord prolapse, and infection, though these are considered less likely in this population.
