Study summary

This study will look at how safe is the medicine eptacog alfa when used in women in India for stopping heavy bleeding after giving birth. If participants have heavy bleeding after giving birth then they will get the medicine eptacog alfa. This study will be conducted to get more knowledge on the safety of the medicine eptacog alfa use in these women. At first participants will receive one dose of medicine eptacog alfa. If the given dose is not helpful to stop the bleeding, participants will get one additional dose. The study will last for about 30-35 days.

Inclusion criteria

  • obtained before any study-related activities. Study-related activities are any procedures that are carried out as part of the study, including activities to determine suitability for the study except for blood loss estimation post-partum
  • Adult women aged greater than or equal to (≥) 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent and who deliver after 27 weeks diagnosed with severe postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) who fail to respond to uterotonics

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous participation in this study. Participation is defined as having given in this study
  • Mental incapacity, unwillingness or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or cooperation
  • Patient with a history of thromboembolism
  • Patient with a history of bleeding disorders
  • Patient with a history of or ongoing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC); haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low count (HELLP) syndrome, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), pre-eclampsia or other severe complication of childbirth apart from severe PPH
  • Have undergone invasive obstetric procedures for the ongoing haemorrhage prior to trial enrolment (uterine balloon tamponade and external aortic compression not included)
  • Any chronic disorder or severe disease which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might jeopardise patient's safety or compliance with the protocol
  • Participation (i.e., signed informed consent) in any other interventional clinical study prior to screening in the current study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Aug 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2027, 24 months after the start.

Of 28 phase 4 interventional studies under Postpartum Hemorrhage, half reached primary completion within 12 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 20. This study's planned 24 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
