Brief Summary

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

The aim is to investigate the efficacy of mirtazapine and ondansetron as treatment for hyperemesis gravidarum(HG).

The setup is a double-blind multicenter trial where patients suffering from HG will be randomized to treatment with either mirtazapine, ondansetron or placebo (1:1:1).

Study Groups

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

Mirtazapine

Mirtazapine 15 mg oral tablet (incapsulated in gelatine to provide blinding) will be administered once daily (bedtime) for 7 days. Placebo (empty gelatine capsule) will be administered once daily (morning).

On Day 7 dosage increase is optional. If desired, mirtazapine 30 mg oral tablet (incapsulated in gelatine) will be administered once daily (bedtime) for 7 days. Placebo (empty gelatine capsule) will be administered three times daily (morning, noon and late afternoon). In case dosage increase is not desired, the subject will continue the initial treatment for an additional 7 days.
