Study summary

The goal of this trial is to examine the efficacy and acceptability of two medication regimens at inducing a return of menses when used 2-8 days after a missed period. The first regimen consists of one dose of 1.5 mg levonorgestrel followed one to two days later by one dose of 200 mg mifepristone. The second regimen will consist of one dose of a placebo pill, followed one to two days later by one dose of 200 mg mifepristone.

The investigators will assess and compare the efficacy of both regimens (proportion of women in each group not pregnant at follow-up who were determined to be pregnant at enrollment), and the effectiveness of both regimens (proportion of all participants not pregnant at follow-up among all participants enrolled)

Inclusion criteria

  • Age 15-49 years
  • General good health
  • Does not want to be pregnant
  • History of regular monthly menstrual cycles (+/- 3 days)
  • Missed menses of 2 to 8 days
  • Sexual activity in the past month
  • Willing and able to sign consent forms
  • Willing to return for a follow-up visit
  • Willing to provide urine sample at enrollment and follow-up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known allergies or to either study drug
  • Symptoms or risk factors for ectopic pregnancy
  • Current use of an IUD, implant or injectable
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 18, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
