Methotrexate vs surgery for cesarean scar pregnancy
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for a pregnancy that has implanted in a previous cesarean scar. It tests whether an injection of methotrexate works as well as surgery to end the pregnancy safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be less than 12 weeks pregnant.
- The pregnancy must be located in a previous cesarean scar and not have ruptured.
- You must be in stable condition (not bleeding heavily).
- You must be willing to have follow-up blood tests and extra treatment if needed.
- You must accept the risk of possible bleeding or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).

This trial compares two ways to treat a pregnancy that implants in a previous cesarean scar. The goal is to find out which method is safer and more effective for women with this condition in the first trimester.
This study looks at the best ways to treat cesarean scar pregnancies—a rare condition where a pregnancy develops in the scar tissue from a previous cesarean delivery. Researchers will track how different treatments work and help improve care for women with this condition.
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 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 trial tests a special hysteroscopic surgery to improve symptoms like long periods caused by a cesarean scar defect. It may help women who haven't gotten better with birth control pills or who strongly prefer surgery.
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.
