Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    To test the hypothesis that in women diagnosed with missed miscarriage up to 13+6 weeks gestation, mifepristone (200mg orally) followed by misoprostol 800mcg taken vaginally, orally or sublingually 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, orally or sublingually two days later.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients undergoing medical management of miscarriage were already likely to be emotionally distressed but were supported throughout their miscarriage management by their local early pregnancy units. This was the same for the trial participants. However, the subgroup of participants that agreed and consented to a semi-structured qualitative interview to discuss the treatment that they received could have experienced further emotional distress as a result of the interview. Participants who became more distressed during the interview were informed that they could stop the interview at any time and were signposted to their research nurse and/or regional and national miscarriage support resources. The discussion guide was also developed from the evidence base and was discussed in-depth with our PPI group to ensure that questions were appropriate phrased.
    Background therapy
    In addition to the mifepristone (200mg orally) or matched placebo on day 0 and misoprostol (800mcg vaginally, orally or sublingually) on day 2 women may have received additional doses of misoprostol (as appropriate and according to local practice) if the gestational sac did not pass by day seven. Women may also have received surgical management if they opted for this. Women may have also been given an anti-emetic when taking the trial medication in order to prevent vomiting and pain relieving drugs (according to local practice).
    Evidence for comparator
    Before the NICE guideline CG154 was published in 2012, common practice was to use a combination of mifepristone and misoprostol (MifeMiso combination). The 2012 NICE guideline, however, recommended that misoprostol alone should be given to women having medical management. This recommendation was based on very limited evidence from one study of 115 women, which found no difference between MifeMiso combination and misoprostol alone. Recognising the limited available evidence, the NICE guideline and HTA called for a trial to compare the clinical and cost effectiveness of mifepristone plus misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for the medical management of missed miscarriage. A dose of 200mg was used for mifepristone as it is the most commonly used dose for the medical management of miscarriage when used with misoprostol and it is the most commonly studied dose in published trials investigating its efficacy in the medical management of miscarriage. Misoprostol 800mcg was administered according to local practice (orally, vaginally or sublingually).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The participants in the MifeMiso trial were recruited from 28 hospitals located across the United Kingdom between October 2017 and July 2019.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Women were eligible if they were aged 16 years and over, diagnosed with a missed miscarriage by pelvic ultrasound scan in the first 13+6 weeks of pregnancy, chose to have medical management of miscarriage and were willing and able to give informed consent. 2746 women were assessed for eligibility, 2595 were eligible and 711 were randomised.

    Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to a single dose of oral mifepristone 200mg, followed by a single dose of vaginal, oral or sublingual misoprostol 800mcg 2 days later, or an oral placebo tablet followed by a single dose of vaginal, oral or sublingual misoprostol 800mcg 2 days later. The placebo was manufactured by ModePharma Ltd. to be identical to the mifepristone tablet.

    Notes
    [1] - There are no non-serious adverse events recorded for these results. It is expected that there will be at least one non-serious adverse event reported.
    Justification: There were no non-serious adverse events that occurred at a frequency of >5%, therefore there are no events to be reported.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    We studied the effect in missed miscarriage; therefore, these results are not generalisable to patients diagnosed with incomplete miscarriage. The rationale for this is the anti-progestogenic effect of mifepristone is less likely to have an effect.
