Conditions

Need for cervical dilation prior to second-trimester uterine procedures Pregnancy and Childbirth

Interventions

This is an open-label, single-arm feasibility study of a 14 mm intracervical balloon radial dilation device (M360-CDD-001-14) in participants at 13–16 weeks’ gestation planning a second-trimester uter
intravenous sedation is provided per site standard of care. The balloon is inflated with sterile water and then deflated and removed. Cervical dilation is assessed after balloon removal. The planned
if dilation is inadequate or not tolerated, standard cervical preparation methods are used. Treatment consists of a single procedural episode, with a safety follow-up contact 3–7 days after device use

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Successful cervical dilation measured using adequate dilation that is tolerated by the participant throughout the radial dilation process and does not require further cervical preparation (e.g., medications or rigid dilation) prior to uterine evacuation, assessed at end of study visit

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Participant pain assessment measured using participant-reported pain assessment questions at during and immediately after device use at the enrollment visit;Investigator assessment of ease of use and participant tolerance of the device measured using investigator-completed assessment questions at following completion of the cervical dilation attempt;Adverse events and adverse device effects associated with balloon cervical dilation measured using clinical assessment and participant report from device use at the safety follow-up contact (3–7 days post-procedure)
