Endeavor to Stop Nausea/Vomiting Associated With Pregnancy (E-SNAP)
The primary objective of this proposal is to conduct an early Phase 2 clinical trial to determine the acceptability, dosing, tolerability and safety of mirtazapine for severe nausea and vomiting of pregnancy (sNVP) that is not adequately responsive to current standard treatments. This plan mirrors clinical practice since commonly prescribed antiemetic/ antinauseant drugs will be tested for efficacy before treating with mirtazapine.
