E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Body processes [G] - Reproductive physiologi cal processes [G08] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To test the hypothesis that in women diagnosed with missed miscarriage before 13+6 weeks gestation, mifepristone (200mg orally) followed by misoprostol 800mcg taken vaginally or orally two days later (MifeMiso) increases the passage of the gestational sac within seven days after randomisation, when compared to a placebo tablet with identical appearance to the mifepristone tablet followed by misoprostol 800mcg taken vaginally or orally two days later. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To test the hypothesis that MifeMiso, compared with misoprostol alone improves secondary outcomes including the need for: further doses of misoprostol, surgery or blood transfusion, total days of bleeding, infection requiring antibiotics, infection requiring inpatient treatment, pregnancy test result 21 days after randomisation, time from randomisation to discharge, patient satisfaction, cost-effectiveness of the additional treatment, side effects and death or serious complications. We will also explore the effects of MifeMiso combination versus misoprostol alone in particular subgroups, including age and gestation at missed miscarriage diagnosis. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Women diagnosed with missed miscarriage by pelvic ultrasound scan in the first 13+6 weeks of pregnancy. 2. Age 16 years and over. 3. Willing and able to give informed consent.
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Women opting for alternative methods of miscarriage management (expectant or surgical) 2. Diagnosis of incomplete miscarriage. 3. Life threatening bleeding. 4. Contraindications to mifepristone or misoprostol use for example chronic adrenal failure, known hypersensitivity to either drug, haemorrhagic disorders and anticoagulant therapy, prosthetic heart valve or history of endocarditis, existing cardiovascular disease, severe asthma uncontrolled by therapy or inherited porphyria. 5. Participation in any other blinded, placebo-controlled trials of investigational medicinal products in pregnancy. 6. Previous participation in the MifeMiso trial 7. Woman not able to attend for day 6-7 ultrasound scan

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Failure to spontaneously pass the gestational sac within 7 days after randomisation |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
7 days after randomisation. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Need for further doses of misoprostol up to day 7 post-randomisation Need for further doses of misoprostol up to discharge from EPU care Time from randomisation to passage of gestational sac (diagnosed by USS). Time from active treatment (defined as mifepristone in the active group and misoprostol in the placebo group) commencement to passage of gestational sac. (diagnosed by USS). Surgical intervention to resolve the miscarriage (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Overall patient satisfaction score (measured using the CSQ-8 questionnaire and collected upon discharge from EPU care). Patient quality of life (Index value and overall health status measured using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and collected on date of randomisation, day 6-7 post-randomisation or day of follow-up USS if different to day 6-7 and day 21 +/- 2 days post-randomisation. If a woman obtains an initial positive pregnancy test result at day 21 +/- 2 days post-randomisation then a further EQ-5D-5L questionnaire is collected upon discharge from EPU care). Blood transfusion required (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Duration of bleeding reported by woman (days). (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Diagnosis of infection associated with miscarriage requiring outpatient antibiotic treatment (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Diagnosis of infection associated with miscarriage requiring inpatient antibiotic treatment (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Negative pregnancy test result 21 days (± 2 days) after randomisation. Time from randomisation to discharge from EPU care. Side effects (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Death (collected up to discharge from EPU care) Any serious complications (collected up to discharge from EPU care)

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
21 days after randomisation for the clinical outcomes. A subset of patients will be selected for an in depth interview to discuss the treatment they received up to 6 weeks after discharge. |

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
The interventional phase of the trial will end when the last woman recruited has taken her last dose of the trial treatment. The observational phase of the trial to assess clinical outcomes will cease when the final outcome of the woman has been completed and data has been entered onto the database and validated as being ready for analysis. The last woman interviewed from the subset of women selected for interview up to 6 weeks after discharge will be used to define the end of trial. |
