Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Pregnant women at term (≥ 41 weeks 0 day and ≤ 41 weeks 6 days of gestation) at the Baseline visit
* Candidate for pharmacologic induction of labour
* Singleton pregnancy with live infant in vertex presentation
* Baseline BS ≤ 4 at the Baseline visit
* Parity ≤ 3 (parity is defined as one or more births live or stillbirths after 22 weeks 0 day gestation)
* Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Women in labour
* Presence of uterine or cervical scar including scar from previous caesarean section, and previous cone biopsy of the cervix and loop electrosurgical excision procedure (LEEP)
* Uterine abnormality e.g. bicornuate uterus
* Administration of oxytocin, any cervical ripening or labour inducing agents (including mechanical methods) or a tocolytic drug within 7 days prior to IMP administration. Magnesium sulfate is permitted if prescribed as treatment for preeclampsia or pregnancy induced hypertension
* Presence of the following conditions/symptoms:

Systolic blood pressure \> 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure \> 110 mmHg. Platelets \< 100,000/µL. Increased liver function tests (2x upper limits of normal range). Severe, persistent right upper quadrant/epigastric pain. Progressive renal insufficiency: Creatinine \> 1.1 mg/dL, Doubling of creatinine in the absence of other renal disease. Pulmonary edema. New onset cerebral or visual disturbances

* Suspected or confirmed cephalopelvic disproportion and/or fetal malpresentation
* Diagnosed congenital abnormalities, not including polydactyly
* Suspected or confirmed intrauterine growth retardation (≤ 1.5 SD of mean normal estimated fetal weight for dates)
* Any evidence of fetal compromise at baseline visit (e.g., non-reassuring fetal heart rate pattern, meconium staining, history of non-reassuring fetal status or abnormal umbilical artery Doppler wave form)
* Intake of medication with aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at baseline visit
* Ruptured membranes
* Suspected clinical chorioamnionitis
* Current pelvic inflammatory disease, unless adequate prior treatment has been instituted
* Fever (axillary temperature ≥ 38.0 °C) at the Baseline visit
* Any condition in which vaginal delivery is contraindicated (eg., placenta previa or any unexplained vaginal bleeding at any time after 24 weeks 0 day during this pregnancy)
* Known or suspected allergy to, dinoprostone other prostaglandins or any constituent of IMP
* Any condition urgently requiring delivery
* History of asthma or glaucoma
* Unable to comply with the protocol
* Any other medical condition which in the judgement of the investigator would impair participation in the trial
