Withdrawn study: could hydroxychloroquine help High-Risk pregnancies?
NCT ID NCT04275778
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study was designed to see if adding hydroxychloroquine to standard treatment (aspirin and heparin) could help women with antiphospholipid syndrome have a healthy full-term pregnancy. It planned to enroll pregnant women before 14 weeks of gestation. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no conclusions can be drawn.

- What this could lead to
- If it had succeeded, this could have pointed toward a way to improve the chance of a healthy full-term pregnancy for women with antiphospholipid syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results are available. Even if conducted, the benefit of adding hydroxychloroquine was uncertain and the study was small.
