Early Pregnancy FailurePhase 4Triple MNCT03212352
Comparing Two Medical Treatments for Early Pregnancy Failure.

About this study
Official title: Mifepristone and Misoprostol Versus Misoprostol Alone for Uterine Evacuation After Early Pregnancy Failure: a Randomized Double Blind Placebo-controlled Comparison (Triple M Trial)
This study aims to compare whether a combination of two drugs (Mifepristone and misoprostol) are superior compared to using only one of these drugs (Misoprostol) as medical treatment for a miscarriage. Women in whom early pregnancy failure, 6-14 weeks postmenstrual, is ultrasonographically confirmed qualify for this study.
It is expected that the combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is more effective in reaching complete evacuation, and therefore can prevent more invasive treatment such as curettage.
Read the detailed description
This study will test the hypothesis that, in early pregnancy failure, the sequential combination of mifepristone with misoprostol is superior to the use of misoprostol alone in terms of complete evacuation of products of conception (primary outcome), patient satisfaction, complications, side effects and costs (secondary outcomes). The trial will be performed multi-centred (hospitals), prospectively, two-armed, randomized, double-blinded and placebo-controlled.
Women with ultrasonographically confirmed early pregnancy failure (6-14 weeks postmenstrual), managed expectantly for at least one week, can be included. Before medical treatment with misoprostol (two doses 400mcg (four hours apart), repeated after 24 hours if no tissue is lost), patients will be randomized to oral mifepristone (600mg) or oral placebo (identical in appearance). The investigators aim to randomize 460 women in a 1:1 ratio, stratified by centre.
After six weeks, the primary endpoint, complete or incomplete evacuation, will be determined

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
MifepristoneDrug
Also called Mifegyne
Adding 600 mg of Mifepristone to the regular treatment with Misoprostol 800 mcg.
MisoprostolDrug
Also called Cytotec

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Misoprostol | Placebo comparator | Before medical treatment with misoprostol (two doses 400mcg (four hours apart), repeated after 24 hours if no tissue is lost), patients receive an oral placebo. Receives: Drug: Misoprostol |
| Misoprostol and Mifepristone | Experimental | Before medical treatment with misoprostol (two doses 400mcg (four hours apart), repeated after 24 hours if no tissue is lost), patients receive oral mifepristone (600mg). Receives: Drug: Mifepristone; Drug: Misoprostol |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete evacuation
Whether or not complete evacuation (total endometrial thickness <15 mm) has been acquired will be assessed through ultrasonography.
Measured: six weeks after initial treatment
Secondary outcomes (6)
patient satisfaction
To assess how satisfied patient are with the treatment they underwent. Patient satisfaction with treatment will be measured using The Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8, digital)
Measured: At baseline, day four, two and six weeks after treatment
complications
How many and which complications have occured?
Measured: six weeks after treatment
side effects
Which side effects have patients experienced and to what degree?
Measured: six weeks after treatment
costs
To evaluate which medical treatment strategy is cost-effective, volumes of health care consumed will additionally be measured prospectively alongside the clinical trial together with cost associated with productivity losses. Costs of medical interventions (direct costs) and costs resulting from productivity loss (indirect costs) will be taken into account. Resource uses will be recorded in the case report forms. Standardized unit costs will be calculated using the Dutch manual for costing in economic evaluations and standardised costs.
Measured: up to six weeks after treatment
Overall quality of health, as experienced by the patient.
To measure the quality of the health status of the patients, a validated so-called health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument will be used: the Short Form 36 health survey
Measured: At baseline, day four, and two and six weeks after initial treatment.
Overall quality of health, as experienced by the patient.
To measure the quality of the health status of the patients,a validated so-called health-related quality of life (HRQoL) instrument will be used: the EuroQol-5D.
Measured: At baseline, day four, and two and six weeks after initial treatment.

This study aims to compare whether a combination of two drugs (Mifepristone and misoprostol) are superior compared to using only one of these drugs (Misoprostol) as medical treatment for a miscarriage. Women in whom early pregnancy failure, 6-14 weeks postmenstrual, is ultrasonographically confirmed qualify for this study.
It is expected that the combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol is more effective in reaching complete evacuation, and therefore can prevent more invasive treatment such as curettage.

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites in Netherlands. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Advised by DSMB based on interim-analysis, highly significant difference.). Results are not available in the source record.
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?
Complete evacuation (time frame: six weeks after initial treatment). 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 NCT03212352, which also lists 31 linked publications.
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 1 May 2020.
