Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the dose-response relationship of tafoxiparin on the labor time defined as the time from the start of continuous infusion of tafoxiparin/placebo as an Adjunct Treatment to Oxytocin, until partus in term-pregnant, nulliparous women requiring labor augmentation due to Primary Slow Progress of Labor including prolonged latent phase and Primary Labor Arrest;Secondary Objective: To assess the safety and efficacy of tafoxiparin based on the safety and secondary efficacy parameters evaluated in the protocol. PK response in pregnant women during labor;Primary end point(s): Time from start of infusion of tafoxiparin/placebo until vaginal partus;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 36 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Up to 36 hours ; Secondary end point(s): • Safety assessment • Time from cervical dilatation of 4 cm and progress of labor until vaginal partus • Proportion of women with dystocia/protracted labor defined as =8, 10, 12 and 14 hours of established labor (4 cm of cervical dilation to vaginal partus ) • Proportion of women with dystocia/protracted labor defined as =8, 10, 12 and 14 hours from start of IMP infusion to vaginal partus • Proportion of women with caesarean sections • Proportion of women undergoing instrumental deliveries • Number of instrumental deliveries • Use of analgesia (N2O, epidural, pudendal nerve block) • Proportion of women with postpartum hemorrhage > 1000 ml • Fetal outcome measured as Apgar score (5 min) = 7 points, Base Excess > -12 and referral to NICU for > 48 hours • Uterine hyperstimulation with fetal heart rate changes • Indication for referral to NICU • Use of Oxytocin (no.umber of mililitersls. according to instructions) • PK response measured between, at least 60 minutes after initiation of treatment with IMP and partus
