Personalized blood clot prevention for pregnant women put to the test

NCT ID NCT03659708

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether a special scoring tool (the Lyon-VTE score) can better prevent dangerous blood clots in pregnant women at high risk compared to standard care. About 600 pregnant women with a personal history of blood clots or a clotting disorder will be randomly assigned to either score-guided prevention or usual recommendations. The goal is to see if personalized care is safer, more effective, and more cost-efficient.

Active substance

Lyon-VTE score (risk assessment tool)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a validated, personalized approach to prevent dangerous blood clots during pregnancy, reducing unnecessary treatment and costs.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively early-stage trial (phase not specified) and the score has only been tested in retrospective and small prospective studies. It may not prove more effective or cost-saving than current care.
