Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Demonstrate that with concomitant and synchronous use of supracervical balloon and vaginal misoprostol for induction of labour, vaginal delivery is achieved in less time compared with vaginal misoprostol alone.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Vaginal misoprostol alone

Women in this group will receive 25mcg of vaginal misoprostol every 4 hours up to a maximum of 5 doses. Misoprostol will be stopped in case of a favorable cervix or if the patient is in active labor. In case of no progression after 5 doses of misoprostol, intravenous oxytocin will be perfused 4 hours after the last dose of misoprostol according to local protocols

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Misoprostol

Intervention Type DRUG

Administration of 25 mcg of vaginal misoprostol every 4 hours up to 5 doses

Vaginal misoprostol + Foley catheter

Women in this group will receive 25mcg of vaginal misoprostol every 4 hours up to a maximum of 5 doses. At the same time a 16French Foley catheter will be inserted through the internal os with visualization of the cervix by sterile speculum examination. The catheter balloon will be inflated with 30 ml of sterile normal saline solution and then the catheter will be taped with gentle traction to the inner thigh of the patient until spontaneous expulsion. If this does not occur, the catheter will be deflated and removed after 12 hours. Misoprostol will be stopped in case of a favorable cervix or if the patient is in active labor. In case of no progression after 5 doses of misoprostol, intravenous oxytocin will be perfused 4 hours after the last dose of misoprostol.
