Can a blood thinner plus progesterone prevent recurrent miscarriages?
NCT ID NCT07796737
First seen Sep 01, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests whether adding enoxaparin, a blood thinner, to standard progesterone treatment increases the chance of a live birth in women who have had two or more unexplained miscarriages. Participants receive either progesterone alone or progesterone plus daily enoxaparin injections. The study tracks live birth rates and pregnancy complications to see if the combination helps more women carry a baby to term.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- A combination of vaginal micronized progesterone and enoxaparin (a low molecular weight heparin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this combination could offer a new treatment to help women with unexplained recurrent miscarriages carry a baby to term.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is still testing the idea, and adding enoxaparin carries a risk of bleeding. It may not improve live birth rates beyond progesterone alone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * History of ≥2 consecutive unexplained miscarriages before 20 weeks of gestation. * Confirmed intrauterine pregnancy by ultrasound and/or serum β-hCG (≥5 weeks). * Willingness to follow study procedures (progesterone use, possible daily - injections) and provide written informed consent. * No medical contraindication to progesterone or LMWH. Exclusion Criteria: * Documented antiphospholipid syndrome or any current anticoagulant requirement. * Anatomical abnormalities (e.g., significant uterine malformations, large fibroids) conclusively linked to RPL. * Known hypersensitivity to enoxaparine or heparins, or prior heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT). * Use of systemic steroids (beyond standard pregnancy doses) for other immunological or inflammatory conditions. * Severe renal insufficiency (eGFR \<30 mL/min), advanced liver disease, or other clinically significant systemic autoimmune disease (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis) that may affect pregnancy or study compliance. * Inability or unwillingness to comply with study requirements (language barriers, severe psychiatric conditions, etc.). * Abnormal karyotype
