Metformin to help prolong pregnancy in preterm preeclampsia
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medication, can help women with preeclampsia stay pregnant longer before delivery. If you have been diagnosed with preeclampsia and your doctors are monitoring you without immediate delivery, this study might be an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with preeclampsia (high blood pressure with protein in your urine).
- Your doctors have decided it is safe to wait and monitor your condition rather than deliver right away.
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You are between 22 weeks and 33 weeks plus 6 days pregnant with a single baby.
- You do not have a medical condition that makes metformin unsafe, such as severe kidney problems or type 1 diabetes.
