RECRUITING NA

Cervical Ripening Balloons for Same-Day Cervical Prep

NCT06964373 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a cervical ripening balloon (Foley balloon) works to prepare the cervix before same-day outpatient dilation and evacuation (D\&E). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E non-inferior to cervical preparation with osmotic dilators? * How feasible and safe is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E? * How acceptable is cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon for same-day outpatient D\&E? Participants will: * Have cervical preparation with cervical ripening balloon (experimental group) or osmotic dilators (usual care group) * Complete two surveys, one about the cervical preparation and one about the D\&E procedure

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06964373

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06964373 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 70 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of New Mexi, which has 107 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 1 condition, with Dilation and Evacuation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Osmotic Dilators is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06964373 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Mexico. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
