Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Subject 18 years of age or older at time of consent.
  2. Subject planning on vaginal birth.
  3. Singleton pregnancy in vertex presentation.
  4. Full-term pregnancy having completed 37 weeks or more gestational weeks.
  5. Able and willing to provide written informed consent prior to enrollment.
  6. In the opinion of the Investigator, the subject has sufficient mental capacity to understand the informed consent form (ICF).
  7. Subject with fetus experiencing shoulder dystocia as defined by ACOG Practice Bulletin 178 "Shoulder dystocia is most commonly diagnosed as failure to deliver the fetal shoulder(s) with gentle downward traction on the fetal head, requiring additional maneuvers to effect delivery."

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who have undergone attempted delivery using ancillary standard of care maneuvers, to include first-line maneuvers (McRoberts ± suprapubic pressure with downward traction on the fetal head), prior to use of the Yaari Extractor. (NOTE: Hyperflexion of the hips or legs is allowed prior to and during use of the Yaari Extractor.)
  2. Cesarean section is planned for the patient.
  3. Obstetric contraindications to vaginal birth.
  4. Subject carrying fetus with known significant chromosomal or structural anomalies.
  5. Clinically estimated fetal weight ≥5kg in non-diabetic subjects.
  6. Clinically estimated fetal weight ≥4.5kg in subjects with diabetes.
  7. Subject has any general health condition or systemic disease that may represent, in the opinion of the Investigator, a potential increased risk associated with device use or pregnancy.
  8. Bleeding disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, von Willebrand's disease, bleeding disorder currently using anticoagulation medication, etc.
  9. Any maternal disease or disorder that precludes the subject from pushing effectively.
  10. If the maternal cervix is not fully dilated.
  11. If the fetal head is not completely out of the birth canal.
  12. In the presence of a non-reducible nuchal cord.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Yaari Extractor group
Prospective experimental arm
Device: Yaari Extractor
The Yaari Extractor device is a single-use prescription device for neonatal extraction in deliveries that are complicated by shoulder dystocia. The Study Device consists of two curved, rigid plastic-coated metal Arms with Handles which are used for control of the device outside the body, and an elastic Engagement Element which conforms to the maternal and neonatal anatomy, and which is used for direct contact with the entrapped neonate within the birth canal.
No Intervention: Control group
Historical control arm - retrospective review of medical records at the same study sites

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of successful neonate deliveries with the Yaari Extractor device
Time Frame: immediately after the intervention
First Primary Effectiveness Endpoint
immediately after the intervention
Time interval (minutes) from the diagnosis of the shoulder dystocia until the neonate's delivery
Time Frame: immediately after the intervention
Second Primary Effectiveness Endpoint
immediately after the intervention
Maternal and neonatal adverse events
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 days
Primary Safety Endpoint
through study completion, an average of 5 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Ease of Use 5 point Likert scale User Questionnaire
Time Frame: immediately after the intervention
Secondary Effectiveness Endpoint
immediately after the intervention

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Estimated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
November 1, 2026

Study Completion (Estimated)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
