Heart Health and Metabolism in Early Pregnancy
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body processes sugar and nutrients during pregnancy in women at higher risk for pre-eclampsia (a serious pregnancy condition with high blood pressure). Researchers want to understand if taking low-dose aspirin helps protect heart and metabolic health. You'll have blood tests, body composition scans, and metabolic measurements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–45 years old and less than 18 weeks pregnant
- You have at least one risk factor for pre-eclampsia (high or moderate risk, based on medical guidelines)
- You are willing to take low-dose aspirin throughout the study
- You can complete a 2-hour glucose tolerance test (drinking a sweet solution, then blood draws) plus other tests like body scans and metabolic measurements
- You do not have diabetes (Type 1, Type 2, or gestational)
- You speak, read, and understand English

This study looks at how pregnant women at risk of pre-eclampsia process aspirin and how it affects their metabolism. Researchers will use blood and urine tests, along with body measurements and surveys, to learn more about how aspirin can help prevent pre-eclampsia.
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.
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 early study looks at how taking aspirin (or not) affects how well blood vessels work after pregnancy. It may help researchers understand differences in vascular health after normal pregnancies versus preeclampsia (a pregnancy blood pressure complication).
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 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.
