Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of a single dose of OBE001, an oral oxytocin antagonist, given for up to 7 days to delay preterm birth by 7 days compared to placebo.
Detailed description
The study will be a multi-centre, randomised, parallel group, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in pregnant women with threatened preterm labour between 34\^0/7 and 35\^6/7 weeks of gestation. The study will be in 2 parts as follows: * from screening until the day of delivery (including a treatment period up to seven days) * a maternal and neonatal follow-up period from the day of delivery until 28 days post expected term date (or until 28 days post-delivery should this be later). In addition, there will be an observational, safety follow-up of the infants for 2 years to evaluate developmental outcome.
Interventions
OBE001 dispersible tablets for a single oral dose a day for up to 7 days.
Placebo dispersible tablets for a single oral dose a day for up to 7 days.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Gestational age (GA) between 34\^0/7 and 35\^6/7 weeks. * Subjects with symptoms of preterm labour. * Subjects with a singleton pregnancy.
Exclusion criteria
* Foetal death in utero in current pregnancy or in previous pregnancy after gestational week 24 or expected high risk of foetal death in the current pregnancy. * Any contraindications for the mother or the foetus to stop labour or prolong pregnancy or any maternal or foetal conditions likely to indicate iatrogenic delivery. * Use of cervical cerclage or a pessary in situ in the current pregnancy. * The Subject has any condition which in the opinion of the PI constitutes a risk or a contraindication for the participation of the subject in the trial.
