Methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy with certain risks
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at using methotrexate (a medication) to treat ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy outside the uterus) in women who have some health issues that might make the usual treatment riskier. It aims to see how well methotrexate works for them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You received methotrexate (a medicine) as part of your treatment.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two medicines—letrozole and methotrexate—to see which works better for treating ectopic pregnancy (a pregnancy growing outside the uterus) without surgery. Both medicines may help your body safely end the pregnancy.
This trial tests whether letrozole (a hormone-blocking pill) can treat an ectopic pregnancy safely and effectively, allowing you to keep your ability to have children. It is an alternative to methotrexate, and you'll be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments.
This study looks at how blood flow patterns around an ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the uterus, in the fallopian tube) might predict whether medication or watchful waiting will work for you. Ectopic pregnancies cannot result in a baby and need treatment; this research aims to help doctors choose the best approach.
This trial looks at the mental health effects of having an ectopic pregnancy. It aims to understand how women feel emotionally after this experience.
This trial compares giving methotrexate (a medicine that stops the pregnancy from growing) locally (injected near the pregnancy) versus systemically (as a shot in your muscle) to treat an ectopic pregnancy in the uterus. It aims to find which way is safer and works better, with fewer side effects.
This study tests a methotrexate injection (given under the skin) for people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who haven't taken methotrexate before. Researchers want to see how the medicine builds up in your body and if it helps control your symptoms.
