About this study

Official title: Opioid Analgesia for MAB: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Our primary objective will be to determine if a strong opioid, oxycodone, given at a dose recommended for severe pain in addition to ibuprofen decreases maximum pain scores compared to ibuprofen and placebo in women undergoing medical abortion (MAB). Results of this study will help future providers understand whether prescribing opioids are an important adjunct for pain control in women undergoing MAB.

Read the detailed description

This study will include 152 women undergoing MAB. Women will be randomized to oxycodone 10mg oral versus placebo and stratified by gestational age (<7wks, 7-10wks). The primary outcome will be maximum reported pain score measured at 6-8 hours and 24 hours after misoprostol administration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Maximum Self-reported Pain Score

    Women text responses through two surveys within 24 hours after misoprostol administration indicating their maximum self-reported pain score on an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0 = no pain, 5 = moderate pain, and 10 = worst possible pain).

    Measured: 24 hours after misoprostol administration

  2. <7 Weeks of Gestation - Maximum Self-reported Pain Score

    Women text responses through two surveys within 24 hours after misoprostol administration indicating their maximum self-reported pain score on an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0 = no pain, 5 = moderate pain, and 10 = worst possible pain).

    Measured: 24 hours after misoprostol administration

  3. 7-10 Weeks Gestation - Maximum Self-reported Pain Score

    Women text responses through two surveys within 24 hours after misoprostol administration indicating their maximum self-reported pain score on an 11-point Numeric Pain Rating Scale (0 = no pain, 5 = moderate pain, and 10 = worst possible pain).

    Measured: 24 hours after misoprostol administration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Oxycodone 10mg oral in people with MAB and Pain, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Maximum Self-reported Pain Score (time frame: 24 hours after misoprostol administration). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03139240, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2019.
