| NCT00099164 ↗ | Trial of Progesterone in Twins and Triplets to Prevent Preterm Birth (STTARS) | Completed | Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) | Phase 3 | 2004-04-01 | Women pregnant with twins or triplets are at high risk of preterm birth, yet no intervention or approach has served to reduce this risk. A recently completed trial by the NICHD sponsored Maternal Fetal Medicine Units (MFMU) Network has, for the first time, demonstrated a treatment that substantially reduces the rate of preterm birth in women at high risk for preterm delivery (i.e. progesterone therapy). Preterm birth was reduced by 35% among progesterone-treated women with a singleton pregnancy when compared with women receiving placebo. The current trial compares weekly treatment by injection of progesterone with placebo in women pregnant with twins or triplets. |

| NCT00120640 ↗ | Treatment of Preterm Labor With 17 Alpha-hydroxyprogesterone Caproate | Withdrawn | Yale University | N/A | 2005-07-01 | The goal of our research will be to determine the effectiveness of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) in the treatment of preterm delivery. Treatment with progesterone is emerging as the standard of care for prevention of preterm delivery in asymptomatic patients at high risk for preterm birth due to a prior preterm delivery. Our goal is to evaluate whether or not progesterone is also effective in reducing preterm birth in symptomatic patients. |
| NCT00135902 ↗ | Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation to Prevent Preterm Birth in High Risk Pregnancies | Completed | Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) | Phase 3 | 2005-02-01 | A recently completed trial of weekly injections of 17 alpha hydroxyprogesterone caproate (17P) found significant effectiveness for 17P in preventing recurrent preterm birth. However, the group who received 17P in this trial still had a high rate of preterm birth. Several reports have shown that dietary supplementation of fish oil, which is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, reduces the risk of preterm birth. This trial tests whether adding the Omega-3 supplement to 17P therapy has the potential for further reducing the risk of preterm birth in women who have previously had a spontaneous preterm delivery. The trial will compare Omega-3 fatty acid with placebo in women receiving 17P therapy. The hypothesis being tested is: "Among women at high risk for preterm birth receiving weekly injections of 17P, the addition of Omega-3 nutritional supplement will further reduce the rate of preterm birth." |

| NCT00141908 ↗ | Prevention of Preterm Delivery in Twin Pregnancies by 17 Alpha-hydroxyprogesterone Caproate | Completed | American University of Beirut Medical Center | Phase 2 | 2006-10-01 | Preterm birth remains a major cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality in developing as well as in developed countries. Despite major clinical research efforts aimed at reducing the incidence of preterm births in the United States, the preterm birth rate reached its highest level in 2 decades, 11.9% in 2001, which translates to a 27% rise since 1981. Much of this increase may be accounted for by the increase in multiple gestations brought about by assisted reproductive technology. Twin gestations accounting for 20% to 25% of all pregnancies conceived following such procedures. Twin gestations are at a particularly increased risk of preterm labor and they deliver at a mean gestational age of 37 weeks compared to 40 weeks for singleton pregnancies. In a study by our group, we estimated that about 54.5% of twin gestations would deliver prior to 37 completed weeks of gestation; i.e. preterm. Evidence regarding efficacy of interventions designed to prevent preterm birth has been disappointing. Most well-designed clinical trials have failed to demonstrate any reduction in preterm births with such interventions as home uterine activity monitoring, reduced physical activity, administration of antibiotic or tocolytic therapy, and intensive and frequent antenatal follow ups. Recently, progesterone has shown some promise in the prevention of preterm birth among women with prior preterm births. Whether this intervention will prove effective in other populations, such as women with multiple gestations, remains to be seen. The objective of our study is to compare the effectiveness of weekly intramuscular injections of 17-alpha Hydroxyprogesterone Caproate, a natural metabolite of progesterone, in preventing delivery at less than 37 weeks of gestation in a population of 290 patients with twin gestations between 16 and 36 weeks of gestation compared to a placebo. The data generated will be invaluable in managing this group of patients that is considered at a very high risk for preterm labor and delivery. |
