3 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This is a pilot clinical trial to evaluate whether the medical management of early pregnancy failure with mifepristone and misoprostol is an effective and acceptable treatment. Subjects with early pregnancy failure receive mifepristone followed 24 hours later by vaginal misoprostol for medical management. Subjects then return on study day 3 for a repeat ultrasound to assess passage of pregnancy tissue. subjects who still have a gestational sac present at Day 3 receive a second dose of vaginal misoprostol. All subjects have a follow-up at Day 15, by phone for those who passed the pregnancy with the first dose of misoprostol, and in person for those who received a second dose. Questionnaires are administered at the beginning and end of the study to determine acceptability.
The investigators will study the feasibility of using 90mg ulipristal acetate, a selective progesterone receptor agonist, as an adjunct to 800mcg vaginal misoprostol for the medical management of early pregnancy loss. Patients will be followed to assess effective treatment of early pregnancy loss, additional interventions needed, side effects, adverse events and patient acceptability.
The purpose of this study is to compare two combinations of drugs (mifepristone and misoprostol versus placebo and misoprostol) used for medical treatment for early pregnancy failure. We will compare the two combinations of medications to see which combination makes miscarriage happen faster. We hypothesize that there will be no difference in time to complete miscarriage between the two groups.
