Can a fertility drug boost miscarriage treatment success?
NCT ID NCT05940233
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 18, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding letrozole to the standard medication misoprostol improves the chance of completely emptying the uterus after a first-trimester pregnancy loss. About 70 women with early pregnancy loss will receive either misoprostol alone or letrozole followed by misoprostol. The study measures how often complete abortion occurs and compares side effects and time to abortion between the two groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- letrozole plus misoprostol
- What this could lead to
- If adding letrozole works better, it could offer a more effective medication option for completing early miscarriage, reducing the need for surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage trial, and the combination may not improve complete abortion rates or could increase side effects. Results may not apply to all patients.
