About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Dose-Ranging, Phase II Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the 100, 150 and 200 mcg Misoprostol Vaginal Insert for Women Requiring Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the 100, 150 and 200 mcg Misoprostol Vaginal Insert (MVI 100, MVI 150 and MVI 200) for women requiring cervical ripening and induction of labor.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MVI 100Drug

    Also called Misopess (TM), Misodel (R)

    Dose reservoir of 100 mcg of misoprostol in a hydrogel polymer vaginal insert within a retrieval system. The MVI 100 will be kept in place for up to 24 hours or will be removed earlier if one of the following occur: onset of active labor, intrapartum adverse event necessitating discontinuation of the study drug, other reasons including maternal request.

  • MVI 150Drug

    Also called Misopess (TM), Misodel (R)

    Dose reservoir of 150 mcg of misoprostol in a hydrogel polymer vaginal insert within a retrieval system. The MVI 150 will be kept in place for up to 24 hours or will be removed earlier if one of the following occur: onset of active labor, intrapartum adverse event necessitating discontinuation of the study drug, other reasons including maternal request.

  • MVI 200Drug

    Also called Misopess (TM), Misodel (R)

    Dose reservoir of 200 mcg of misoprostol in a hydrogel polymer vaginal insert within a retrieval system. The MVI 200 will be kept in place for up to 24 hours or will be removed earlier if one of the following occur: onset of active labor, intrapartum adverse event necessitating discontinuation of the study drug, other reasons including maternal request.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of Women Delivering Vaginally

    Measured: Interval from study drug administration to 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Time to Vaginal Delivery

    Measured: Interval from study drug administration to delivery (average 24 hours)

  2. Rate of Adverse Events

    All adverse events were rated by the Investigator as mild, moderate or severe and classified as having no relationship, possible relationship or a probable relationship to the study drug. These assessments were deemed as accurate and appropriate for the reporting of all serious and non serious adverse events.

    Measured: From study drug administration to hospital discharge (approximately 48 - 72 hours)

  3. Proportion of Cesarean Delivery

    Measured: Interval from study drug administration to cesarean delivery (average 24 hours)

  4. Cervical Ripening Using Composite Measure of Success

    Cervical ripening success was defined by achievement of one or more of the following by 12 hours after study drug administration:

    • Increase from baseline in modified Bishop score ≥3; or
    • Achievement of modified Bishop score of ≥6; or
    • Vaginal delivery.

    Measured: 12 hours after insertion of drug

  5. Use of Oxytocin

    Percentage of participants in receipt of Oxytocin for induction after study drug removal is accurate and appropriate for this outcome measure.

    Measured: At least 30 minutes after study drug removal

  6. Time of Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax), Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax), Area Under the Curve (AUC) and Terminal Half Life of Misoprostol Acid.

    The timepoints over which the pharmacokinetic measurements were assessed, and deemed as accurate and appropriate, were as follows: 0 hours (baseline), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 14 hours after insertion of the study drug, immediately prior to removal of the study drug and 0.5, 1 and 2 hours after removal of the study drug.

    Measured: From study drug insertion up to 2 hours post study drug removal

  7. Time to Onset of Active Labor

    Measured: Interval from study drug administration to active labor (average 12 hours)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MVI 100, MVI 150 and MVI 200 in people with Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor, run by Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 11 sites 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 15 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 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 21 Apr 2014). 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?

Proportion of Women Delivering Vaginally (time frame: Interval from study drug administration to 24 hours). 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 NCT00828711, 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 21 Apr 2014.
