First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two treatments for caesarean scar pregnancy, a rare but serious condition where a pregnancy implants in a previous C-section scar. Forty-two women will receive either ultrasound-guided surgical removal or a combination of local and systemic methotrexate. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer complications.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could identify a safer, more effective standard treatment for caesarean scar pregnancy, reducing complications like severe bleeding.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 2 trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both treatments carry risks of bleeding, infection, or need for additional procedures.
