Safety/Efficacy Study Comparing the Misoprostol Vaginal Insert to Cervidil for Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor

Information source: Ferring Pharmaceuticals
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015
Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Cervical Ripening; Labor, Induced

Intervention: Misoprostol vaginal insert 100 mcg (Drug); Misoprostol vaginal insert 50 mcg (Drug); Dinoprostone vaginal insert (Cervidil) (Drug)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Ferring Pharmaceuticals

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Helen Colquhoun, MD, Study Director

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the misoprostol vaginal insert (50 mcg and 100 mcg) can safely and effectively speed time to vaginal delivery compared to Cervidil (R) in women who need to have cervical ripneing and induction of labor.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind Phase III Study of the Efficacy and Safety of the Misoprostol Vaginal Insert Compared to Cervidil for Women Requiring Cervical Ripening and Induction of Labor (The MVP Study).

Percentage of Participants With Pre-Delivery Oxytocin Use

Percentage of Participants With Cervical Ripening Success Based On Modified Bishop Score (mBS) 12 Hours After Administration of Vaginal Insert

Minutes to Onset of Active Labor

Minutes to Rupture of Membranes (ROM)

Duration of Stay in Minutes in Labor and Delivery Suite

Days in Hospital for Mother and Neonate

Detailed description: Induction of labor is required in approximately 20% of pregnant women. Although contractions can be brought on by oxytocin ("pitocin"), some women need help in softening the cervix, or mouth of the womb (uterus), before oxytocin can be started. Prostaglandins have been shown to ripen, or soften, the cervix; at present, the only prostaglandin approved for marketing by FDA for this purpose is dinoprostone. Dinoprostone can be delivered in several ways; one method is to use a polymer vaginal insert that slowly releases the dinoprostone directly to the cervical tissues. This product is called Cervidil (R) and has been marketed for more than 10 years in the United States. Misoprostol is another form of prostaglandin that is approved for protecting the stomach and intestinal lining for patients taking NSAIDs. Misoprostol has also been used by many obstetricians for cervical ripening and inducing contractions, but, it is not approved by FDA for this purpose. The same company that makes the Cervidil polymer insert has made an insert that will slowly release misoprostol. This study will determine whether this investigational insert containing misoprostol will decrease time to vaginal delivery compared to Cervidil. Two different doses of misoprostol will be tested (50 micrograms and 100 micrograms); each vaginal insert will gradually release a small, controlled amount of misoprostol over up to 24 hours. Comparator: The Cervidil (R) vaginal insert containing dinoprostone will be the comparator in this study.
