Letrozole before misoprostol for missed abortion
This trial tests whether taking letrozole before misoprostol shortens the time needed to complete a missed abortion, which is when the pregnancy stops developing but the body hasn't expelled the tissue. If effective, it could reduce the waiting time and make the process more efficient.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Women aged 18 to 45 years.

- BMI between 25 and 35 (overweight to obese range).

This trial tests whether taking an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) before misoprostol helps complete a miscarriage more effectively. It may offer a treatment option for people with a missed or early pregnancy loss.
This trial tests whether adding letrozole (a hormone pill) to misoprostol (a medicine to complete a miscarriage) works better than misoprostol alone for ending a missed miscarriage in early pregnancy. It aims to make the process safer and possibly faster.
This study compares two medications—letrozole plus misoprostol versus misoprostol alone—to see which is more effective for ending a pregnancy in the second trimester (14–20 weeks) after the fetus has stopped developing. The goal is to find a safer, more comfortable method for women who need this procedure.
This study tests whether taking letrozole or mifepristone before medication helps the medical abortion work better for pregnancies up to 10 weeks. You may be asked to try another method (repeat medicine or a procedure) if the first treatment does not fully work.
This trial compares the effectiveness of two medications (letrozole and mifepristone with misoprostol) to help the body pass pregnancy tissue after a silent miscarriage. It may help women who prefer medical treatment over waiting or surgery.
This trial tests if giving misoprostol before surgery can reduce blood loss during the removal of uterine fibroids (non-cancerous growths). It is for women who need laparoscopic or open surgery for their fibroids.
