Summary

This study tests whether taking 162 mg of aspirin daily is better than the standard 81 mg dose for preventing high blood pressure disorders (like preeclampsia) in pregnant women at risk. Over 10,000 participants will be assigned to one of the two doses early in pregnancy. The goal is to find the most effective dose to reduce serious complications for both mother and baby.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Aspirin (81 mg or 162 mg daily)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that a higher aspirin dose is better at preventing dangerous pregnancy complications like preeclampsia, potentially saving lives.
What could go wrong
This is a large trial, but results may not apply to all populations. Aspirin can cause side effects like bleeding, and the higher dose may not be more effective or could increase risks.
