New treatments must prove to be safe and effective in scientific studies before they can be made widely available to patients. By performing clinical trials, we learn which treatments are more effective than others. These trials help find new and better treatments for our patients.
Current Clinical Trials
Vaginal Ultrasound Cerclage Trial Principal Investigator: Mark Tomlinson MD
This multicenter randomized clinical trial of cerclage in women with a prior spontaneous preterm birth who have a shortened cervical length < 25 mm at 16 0 to 226 weeks’ gestation will determine if this surgical intervention decreases the incidence of preterm delivery prior to 35 weeks’ gestation. Providence St. Vincent is a clinical site for this national trial, which is administered by the Center for Research in Women’s Health at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. The overall project is funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
