Prospective Effect of Intravenous Ketorolac on Opioid Use, EBL and Complications Following Cesarean Delivery
NCT02509312 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
In this randomized, double-blind control trial to evaluate the effect of ketorolac given at the time of cord clamp has on estimated blood loss and postcesarean pain control. Patients will be randomized to either placebo or ketorolac prior to surgery. Those randomized to ketorolac will receive ketorolac at cord clamp and three additional doses every 6 hours (total 4 doses/24 hours). Those in the placebo group will receive normal saline during those time periods. Our primary outcome is to assess whether intra-operative ketorolac increases the estimated blood loss during Cesarean delivery.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02509312
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02509312 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 70 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, which has 190 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 8 conditions, with Opioid Use appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Placebo is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02509312 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
