NCT ID NCT07671989

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a two-pill combination (mifepristone and misoprostol) to bring on a late period without first confirming pregnancy. It involves 100 people who are at least 18, have regular periods, and are up to 21 days late. Participants take the pills and report satisfaction and whether their period returns within 4 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Mifepristone and misoprostol (a two-pill combination to bring on a late period)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new, more private option for people to manage a late period at home without needing to confirm pregnancy first.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study (100 people) and the pills may not always work. Also, if someone is pregnant, these pills will end the pregnancy, which may not be what they want.
