Summary
This early-stage trial tested the safety and tolerability of telpegfilgrastim injections in 18 non-pregnant women, including some with a history of preeclampsia. Researchers monitored side effects, drug levels in the blood, and immune markers. The goal is to see if the drug is safe enough to study further for preventing preeclampsia.
