Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

The investigators are performing a randomized controlled trial investigating starting cervical ripening in the outpatient setting with a mechanical method, the transcervical Foley catheter. The objective of the study is to determine if outpatient compared to inpatient cervical ripening with a transcervical Foley catheter in nulliparous women undergoing induction shortens the time spent in labor and delivery (from the time of admission to the time of delivery).
