Could pregnant women safely stop aspirin earlier? new trial investigates

NCT ID NCT06108947

First seen Jul 17, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026

Summary

This trial looks at whether pregnant women at high risk for preeclampsia can safely stop taking daily aspirin at 24-28 weeks instead of continuing until 36 weeks. Around 300 women will be randomly assigned to either stop or continue aspirin. The goal is to see if stopping early leads to the same low rate of preterm preeclampsia, potentially reducing medication burden.
