Same-day Cervical Preparation Before Dilation and Evacuation

April 21, 2021 updated by: Planned Parenthood of Greater New York

Same-day Cervical Preparation With Dilapan-S™ Plus Buccal Misoprostol Compared to Overnight Dilapan-S™ Before Dilation and Evacuation at 16 to 20 Weeks' Gestation: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of this randomized trial is to compare same-day cervical preparation using Dilapan-S™ plus buccal misoprostol to overnight cervical preparation using Dilapan-S™ before D&E at 16.0 to 20.0 weeks.

Primary objective: To compare D&E operative time. We hypothesize that same-day Dilapan-S™ plus buccal misoprostol is non-inferior to overnight Dilapan-S™ with respect to operative time.

Secondary objectives: To compare treatment groups for the following: Pre-operative cervical dilation; need for mechanical dilation and ease of dilation if required; ability to complete D&E without further cervical preparation; ease of D&E; complications; pain; side effects; patient and provider satisfaction.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Same-day Dilators
Participants will have Dilapan-S cervical dilators placed 4-6 hours prior to D&E and will receive 400 mcg buccal misoprostol pills 3 hours prior to D&E.
Dilapan-S cervical dilators placed the same day as the D&E procedure
