<offtopic> Baxter suspends blood substitute
trials:

DEERFIELD, Ill., June 2 (Reuters) - Baxter
International Inc. BAX.N said Tuesday it had
suspended the European clinical trial of its
HemAssist blood substitute in patients
suffering from severe trauma.
The medical products maker said it suspended
the trial, which had enrolled 117 patients, to
further analyze data gathered and assess the
efficacy of HemAssist. Baxter said the
decision will delay its ability to receive
marketing clearance for the product in the
U.S. or Europe, which it had been expecting by
late 1999 or early 2000
"Baxter will continue to work with its
clinical investigators and the European
regulatory authorities to determine its
options," said the company. In March, Baxter
halted a U.S. Phase III clinical trial of
with HemAssist in severe trauma cases. Phase
III trials in the United States with patients
undergoing elective surgery continue to add
patients, Baxter said."In previous clinical
trials, more than 500 patients have
received HemAssist and its safety profile has
been well-established," the company said.
