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).
- Your doctor has recommended you take 162 mg of aspirin each day during pregnancy.
- You are between 16 and 55 years old.
- You do not have a bleeding disorder, low platelet count, or are not taking any other blood thinners.

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 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 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.
