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

Summary

This study compares a misoprostol-only medication abortion regimen to the standard combined mifepristone and misoprostol regimen in people up to 77 days pregnant. About 1,900 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two regimens and followed for up to 35 days. The goal is to see if the misoprostol-only regimen is as effective at completing the abortion without needing additional procedures.
