NCT ID NCT07157423
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing the safety of a medicine called eptacog alfa (NovoSeven) for women in India who have severe bleeding after giving birth. 64 women who do not respond to standard treatments will receive one or two doses of the drug. Researchers will monitor for blood clots, allergic reactions, and other serious side effects over about a month.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eptacog alfa (NovoSeven)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that eptacog alfa is a safe option for stopping severe bleeding after childbirth in Indian women.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm safety study with no comparison group, so it cannot prove the drug works better than standard care. There is a risk of blood clots or allergic reactions.
