Daily aspirin vs split dosing to prevent preeclampsia
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study compares taking a daily low-dose aspirin (a single pill) versus splitting the same dose into two smaller pills many hours apart to see which way better prevents preeclampsia in pregnant people who are at higher risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are less than 16 weeks pregnant, confirmed by an ultrasound.
- You have at least one high-risk factor (like previous preeclampsia, chronic kidney disease, or type 1 or 2 diabetes) or at least two moderate-risk factors (like first pregnancy, age 35 or older, or obesity).

- You are between 16 and 55 years old.

This study looks for blood markers that may predict whether low-dose aspirin will “work” to prevent preeclampsia in a next pregnancy. It may help improve which patients benefit most from aspirin and guide safer prevention in future pregnancies.
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 study compares two doses of aspirin (150 mg vs 100 mg) to see which is better at preventing preeclampsia, a serious pregnancy complication involving high blood pressure, in women who are obese and at higher risk. If you qualify, you would take one aspirin dose daily during pregnancy.
This study looks at whether taking aspirin for a longer or shorter time during pregnancy can better prevent preeclampsia, a serious condition with high blood pressure. It is for pregnant women already taking daily aspirin and found to be at high risk.
This study tests whether taking a low-dose aspirin every day can help improve blood vessel health in people who had preeclampsia within the past 5 years. The goal is to see if aspirin can lower the risk of future heart problems.
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.
