Second trimester abortion with letrozole and misoprostol compared to misoprostol alone
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares two medication combinations to see which is more effective for ending a pregnancy in the second trimester (14-20 weeks). It may help women who need this procedure have a safer and more successful experience.

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 study tests whether taking letrozole (a hormone-modifying drug) before misoprostol (a medication that helps empty the uterus) can shorten the time needed to complete a missed miscarriage. It may help make the process faster and more effective.
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 trial tests two different medicines (Mifepristone vs Misoprostol) to see which works better for ending a pregnancy in the second trimester (12–16 weeks). It is for people who are pregnant with one baby and have no major health issues that could affect safety.
This trial compares two different medication approaches to help your body complete a silent miscarriage, rather than needing surgery. One uses a hormone-balancing pill (letrozole) and the other uses a combination of two medicines (mifepristone and misoprostol). The goal is to find which is more effective and safer for you.
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.
