NCT ID NCT04537416

First seen Jun 26, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study aims to find out how often a blood clotting disorder called thrombophilia is the cause of recurrent pregnancy loss. Researchers will review the medical records of 1,000 women aged 18-40 who have had two or more miscarriages. The goal is to improve awareness and help doctors diagnose and treat this condition earlier.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could lead to better awareness and earlier testing for thrombophilia in women with recurrent pregnancy loss, potentially reducing the number of miscarriages.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly test a new therapy. The findings may not apply to all women or lead to immediate changes in care.
