NCT ID NCT07140211

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is testing whether giving new mothers a low-dose blood thinner for just 7-10 days after delivery can prevent blood clots in the legs or lungs. About 9,200 women with certain risk factors (like emergency C-section, obesity, or pre-eclampsia) will either receive the drug or no treatment. The goal is to see if this short-term approach reduces clot risk without causing serious bleeding.
