6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.

The safety of BLUDIGO was evaluated in a randomized, intra-patient controlled, blind to dose of BLUDIGO, clinical trial.

A total of 118 adult patients undergoing endoscopic urological or gynecological procedures were treated intravenously; 58 (49%) of these patients received one dose of BLUDIGO 2.5 mL and 60 (51%) of patients received one dose of BLUDIGO 5 mL.

The 2.5 mL dose is not approved [see Dosage and Administration ( 2.1 )] .

The mean age of patients was 51 years and 35 (30%) patients were 65 years of age or older.

The majority of patients were White 105 (89%) and female 87 (74%).

The adverse reactions (≥1%) reported in the clinical trial are provided in Table 1.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Cardiovascular disorders: cardiac arrest, arrhythmia, asystole, atrioventricular block second degree, hypotension, elevation in blood pressure, bradycardia, tachycardia General disorders and administration site conditions: injection site discoloration Immune system disorders: anaphylactic reactions with hypotension, dyspnea, bronchospasm, urticaria, erythema
