Summary

This study looks at whether starting daily low-dose aspirin in the first trimester (weeks 1–12) is safer and more effective than starting in the second trimester (weeks 13–27) for pregnant women with sickle cell disease. Researchers will track maternal deaths, preterm births, and late miscarriages. The goal is to find the best timing to reduce serious pregnancy complications in this high-risk group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aspirin 100 mg
What this could lead to
If starting aspirin earlier reduces complications, it could offer a simple, low-cost way to improve pregnancy outcomes in women with sickle cell disease.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase study, so results may not be conclusive. Aspirin carries bleeding risks, and the benefit may be small or absent.
