Pregnancies that fail in the first trimester-ones that end in embryonic or fetal death or in incomplete spontaneous abortion, ones whose inevitable outcome is spontaneous abortion and ones characterized by the absence of an embryo in the gestational sac-traditionally have been managed with dilation and curettage. Doctors had to perform a dilation and curettage to remove the dead fetus. In addition to the two phase 3 trials, an open label, multi-center safety study will be conducted in 150 patients undergoing minor procedures, including arthroscopy, bunionectomy, dilation and curettage, upper endoscopy, hysteroscopy, lithotripsy, arterio-venous shunt placement, and trans-esophageal echocardiograms. |
