Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Women who are eligible and consent to enroll in the study will be given 200 mg of mifepristone orally in the clinic. The participants will then be given 800 mcg of misoprostol (four 200 mcg tablets) to take home and instructed to take two tablets bucally 24-48 hours after the mifepristone and the remaining tablets within 30 minutes. They will be warned of the side effects they may experience.
All participants will be informed that they can call the clinic in case they have questions about the symptoms or side effects or if they have other concerns. They will also be told that they can return to the clinic in case of severe or persistent bleeding, or if they decide at any point that they want surgical intervention. Participants will also be informed as to the signs of pregnancy termination.
Seven days after taking the mifepristone (the eighth day of the study) the woman should return to the clinic for follow up. Information will be collected on a series of six semi-structured forms that are filled out by members of the study team in accordance with the responses of the participants to the interview questions and the results of physical exams, ultrasounds, etc. Analyses of the data will focus on efficacy, acceptability, side effects, and adverse events.
