NCT ID NCT07222852
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at whether giving enalapril, a standard blood pressure medicine, to women who had preeclampsia during pregnancy can help control their blood pressure after childbirth. Researchers will enroll 60 postpartum women and randomly assign them to enalapril or usual care. The main goal is to see if women are willing to join and stick with the study, while also tracking blood pressure changes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enalapril
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that enalapril is a safe and effective way to manage blood pressure after preeclampsia, potentially reducing long-term heart risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small feasibility study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to all women. It focuses on enrollment and retention, not long-term outcomes.
