Active clinical trials for "Abortion, Spontaneous"

This study compares the success rate of Adjuvant isonicotinic acid hydrazide and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first-trimester pregnancy among women with one or more previous cesarean deliveries.

The purpose is to test the value of embryoscopy in women with missed abortions after recurrent miscarriages (at least two previous miscarriages) in the past. This project will assess two functions of embryoscopy:- Whether embryoscopy allows the diagnosis of structural anomalies (disorganized embryos). This is a fetal cause of embryo loss which cannot be diagnosed by other means. Whether embryoscopy allows an accurate biopsy of embryonic tissue for karyotyping. However, it may be that embryoscopy will be found to have no advantage.

Study Objective: To compare the time to new pregnancy and pregnancy outcomes in women who received Misoprostol for uterus evacuation versus those treated surgically with dilatation and curettage. Study Population: Women to be admitted to the Lis maternity department for first trimester failed pregnancy. Patients will choose between medical versus surgical management. Of this group, women interested and successful in achieving a new pregnancy without first engaging in birth control methods will be included in our study. Inclusion Criteria: Women with first trimester failed pregnancy (up until week 12 according to LMP and up to CRL compatible with 11 gestational weeks) Exclusion Criteria: Women under the age of 18 or over the age of 45, women who conceived via fertility treatments, women with a molar pregnancy. Study Type: prospective study. Study Description: Women who visit the emergency department or gynecology clinic with a first-trimester miscarriage will be questioned regarding their subsequent family planning. In the event that the woman is interested in another pregnancy, and is not planning to use birth control methods prior to conception, the use of folic acid will be recommended, and she will receive an explanation of the research process. Women who agree to participate in the study orally and who sign a written consent form will be included in the study. Three to six months following uterine evacuation, study participants will receive a telephone call to assess whether they have conceived, and the case that they had not yet conceived, will receive a follow-up call after an additional three to six months. Each woman who conceived, will receive a follow-up call to assess the details of the birth. In the event that she did not give birth in the Lis Maternity Hospital, she will be asked to fax a copy of the release letter she received from the hospital. Type of Birth: Normal vaginal delivery, operative delivery, cesarean section. Birth details will be collected via the automated system in Lis in the event that the birth took These women will be included in the study and will be divided into two groups: surgical vs. medical management. The study will include roughly 200 women in each of the two groups. It will be clarified that: The researcher will confirm the identity of the participant at the outset of the telephone call. The researcher will request consent and introduce him or herself as a member of the research team from the Lis Hospital. In the event of refusal to participant, the research will apologize and terminate the telephone call. Study Parameters: 1 .Demographic Parameters of the two groups - age, gravity, parity, ethnicity, history of infertility. 2. Comparison of the success of the surgical treatment versus medical management - in this case, failure is defined as the need for subsequent surgical treatment. This will include data on the percentage of women who received multiple doses of Misoprostol. 3. A comparison of the time (in months) until a new pregnancy is conceived (from the data of the dilatation and curettage or the first dose of the Misoprostol) 4. Pregnancy Outcomes - first trimester miscarriage, obstetric outcomes, early deliveries, pregnancy complications - IUGR, placental abruption, pre-eclampsia, cesarean sections, neonatal outcomes. This data will be collected in multiple telephone conversations - three months after conception and following the delivery date. Validation of details of pregnancies that ended in miscarriage - was the pregnancy desired? Mode of conception (if fertility treatments - which?), months until conception, gestational age at the time that a non-viable pregnancy was diagnosed, mode of pregnancy termination. The details will be validated in relation to details in our automated system. At what month did the woman resume menstruation? Was an ultrasound performed to assess uterine evacuation prior to a new pregnancy conception? Details on pregnancy following dilatation and curettage - time to conception from pregnancy termination, pregnancy outcomes, gestational age at birth (or miscarriage), birth weight, Apgar scores, pH (if available). Data on fertility, age, obstetric history, time to conception of new pregnancies, need for fertility treatments. Mechanism of Anonymity: The primary researcher will be responsible for the removal of identifying data. After this data has been removed, in the event that it is still necessary to complete data on the participants, we will make contact with the participant and he will sign a telephone consent form regarding this data completion. In the event that no data is mission and/or after the data is completed through a telephone call, the identifying details will be removed in a way that it will be impossible to replace them. And the telephone consent forms will be saved in a cabinet that can be accessed only by the primary and secondary researchers.

Non-medical used of misoprostol for abortion is a growing concern in Guadeloupe. Such situation is reasonable for countries in which abortion is not easy to obtain or prohibited. However regarding the risk of complications, it is less understandable in region like Guadeloupe where legal abortion with medical assistance is accessible for all and free. The aim of the study is to investigate on the amount of misoprostol taken by women in Guadeloupe, by doing an analytical measurement. The aim is to evaluate batter this practice in Guadeloupe, when the main objective of the study is to detect the presence or the absence of misoprostol in the urine sample of the woman coming at hospital for threatened miscarriage or miscarriage complications. Moreover, these abortions can be more important than spontaneous miscarriage.

50%-60% of the known causes of recurrent pregnancy loss(RPL) are associated with embryonic aneuploidy, such that preimplantation genetic screening (PGS) on embryos acquired by assisted reproductive treatment should improve the rate of pregnancy and live birth in those patients. In dispute though the clinical application of PGS has been, a series of studies show that the new generation of PGS(PGS 2.0), based on blastocyst biopsy followed by whole genome analysis, has significantly improved the clinical outcome of IVF treatment. At present, there is still a need for the evidence of the use of PGS 2.0 in RPL patients, who may benefit from this emerging technology considering the prevalence of genetic abnormalities and the number of transferable embryos in this population. An earlier single center RCT conducted by our IVF center displayed higher implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate and ongoing pregnancy rate calculated by per embryo transfer(ET) cycle in IVF/ICSI+PGS group compared with IVF/ICSI group. This multi-center prospective randomized clinical trial is to provide more data to determine whether the clinical outcomes are significantly improved per treatment cycle such that provide evidence for the application of PGS in RPL patients. Besides, risk factors of PGS outcome are to be analyzed from multi-center data to build a model for prediction of the possible outcomes of PGS and direction of the clinical choice.

This study compares the success rate of letrozole and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first-trimester pregnancy among women with one or more previous cesarean deliveries.

tPA has a pivotal role in placentation, mediationg activation of growth factors, such as vascular endothelial growth factor and brain-derived neurotrophic factor, degradation of extracellular matrix and basement membrane (directly or through activation of matrix metalloproteinases) and formation of hemidesmosomes. A high-carbohydrate intake combined with lack of physical activity provides a strong stimulus for maternal insulin production. In this scenario, either β-cells are dysfunctional and diabetes supervenes, or excessive amounts of insulin are produced, providing pathological stimulation of PAI-1 synthesis. Given that PAI-1 is a major tPA inhibitor, PAI-1 excess may affect placentation, increasing the risk of first trimester losses, preterm deliveries and intrauterine growth restriction. Our hypothesis was that prematurity was not the cause of neonatal hypoglycemia, but a parallel occurrence of a strong stimulus for maternal, fetal and neonatal production of insulin.

There is increasing amount of evidence which suggests that miscarriage is related to a primary endometrial problem. Recent cochrane meta-analysis (March 2015) has proven that endometrial scratch improves live birth in women who underwent IVF. The aim of the study is to find out if scratch of the endometrium prevents recurrent miscarriage.

This study compares the success rate of letrozole and misoprostol versus misoprostol alone for medical termination of first trimester pregnancy.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Cyclosporin A (CsA) - an immunosuppressant drug - in early pregnancy will reduce the risk of miscarriage in women who had a history of unexplained recurrent miscarriages, as compared with that treated with Dydrogesterone-an active comparator. The hypothesis is based on the evidence found in vitro and in vivo experiments that CsA can induce maternal-fetal tolerance so that it may reduce the risk of miscarriage.
