Aspirin dose study to prevent high blood pressure in pregnancy
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two doses of aspirin to see which is better at preventing conditions like preeclampsia (a serious form of high blood pressure during pregnancy). You may qualify if you are in early pregnancy and have certain risk factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 14 years old and pregnant with a single baby or twins (up to 16 weeks 6 days).
- You have at least one high-risk condition (like prior preeclampsia, chronic high blood pressure, diabetes before pregnancy, kidney disease, autoimmune disease, or carrying twins) OR two moderate-risk conditions (like first pregnancy, obesity, age 35 or older, Black race, low income, IVF, or family history of preeclampsia).
- You are not currently taking aspirin, or you are taking it for a pregnancy-related reason and can start it within a certain time frame.
- You do not have allergies or medical problems that make aspirin unsafe (such as bleeding issues or certain stomach conditions).
- You are not planning to deliver at a hospital that cannot share your records.

This trial compares two different doses of aspirin (a common safe medication) to see if one works better at preventing preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication, in women at higher risk. Taking part may help doctors find the best way to protect both you and your baby.
This trial tests whether a shorter course of aspirin can safely prevent preeclampsia in pregnant people who are already at high risk and taking daily aspirin. It aims to find the best time to stop the medication while still protecting both mother and baby.
This trial tests whether a higher dose of aspirin (150 mg) works better than the standard dose (100 mg) to prevent preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication, in women with obesity who are at increased risk. If you are between 12 and 16 weeks pregnant with one baby and have a high BMI, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether sending reminders to doctors helps them prescribe low-dose aspirin to pregnant patients at higher risk of preeclampsia (a serious pregnancy condition). Aspirin early in pregnancy may help prevent preeclampsia if you have risk factors.
This trial tests whether stopping aspirin use in high-risk pregnant women can be safe. It aims to find the best time to stop taking aspirin to prevent preeclampsia, a condition that causes high blood pressure during pregnancy.
This trial tests whether adding aspirin and hydroxychloroquine can lower the risk of preeclampsia during pregnancy in people considered high-risk. If you qualify, you may be assigned to take the study medicines to help protect you and the baby.
