Reuters is reporting that the Dutch trial using the drug, sold under the brand name Viagra, was halted Monday.
The study started in 2015 and involved 11 hospitals. It was designed to look at possible beneficial effects of increased blood flow to the placenta in mothers whose unborn babies were severely underdeveloped.
Reuters reported that the 11 babies died due to “a possibly related lung condition,” a condition”that caused high blood pressure in the lungs and may have resulted from reduced oxygen levels.” Seventeen of the babies were born with lung conditions.
