Inclusion criteria
. The study population will include pregnant adolescents who reside in the US and meet all of the following criteria for inclusion: The participant is a pregnant female between the following ages: at least 12 years on the day of recruitment (i.e., Day 1) and not yet 18 years on the last day of the study (i.e., Day 15).
. The participant must provide written informed consent and/or assent to participate in the study and agrees that she will follow dosing instructions and complete all required study visits.
. The participant's entry ultrasound indicates a viable singleton pregnancy and confirms gestational age of the fetus is 7-15 weeks + 0 days at the anticipated time of the first dose of study drug provided that her NVP symptoms began ≤ 10 weeks gestation. If an ultrasound was performed within 4 weeks of the study entry visit, and results can be obtained, an additional ultrasound is not necessary.
. The participant is suffering from NVP and has a PUQE score ≥ 6.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy Severity from Baseline to Day 15
. The participant has not responded to conservative management consisting of dietary/lifestyle advice according to the 2018 ACOG Practice Bulletin.

. The participant does not plan termination of the pregnancy.
. The participant is judged to be in good health based on her medical history, physical examination and laboratory tests
Exclusion criteria
. The investigator confirms the participant's nausea and vomiting is of etiology other than NVP.
. The participant has gestational trophoblastic disease or multifetal gestation.
