Study summary

To evaluate whether low molecular heparin could improve pregnancy outcomes in pregnancies with protein S deficiency.

Read the detailed description

This is a parallel-group, multicenter, randomized controlled trial of 48 pregnancies with protein S deficiency in China. Patients are randomized into three groups to receive enoxaparin combined with aspirin, aspirin alone and no intervention. The primary outcome measure is livebirth rate.

    No intervention

  • Other
    All groups

    Participants in all groups will receive daily injections of enoxaparin at a dose of 4000 IU within 6 weeks at postpartum.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of livebirth

    Incidents of livebirth

    Time frame: From date of randomization until delivery, assessed up to 42 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Parameters of maternal coagulation-related indicators

    D-Dimer in ng/ml, Protein S activity in %

    Time frame: From the start of study treatment to 6 weeks post-partum

  2. Parameters to assess the safety of low molecular heparin

    Maternal platelet count in 10\^9/L, Number of haemorrhagic events, Number of cases of skin reactions at injection site

    Time frame: From the start of study treatment to 6 weeks post-partum

  3. Other incidents of adverse pregnancy outcomes

    early miscarriage (until 12 weeks of gestation), late miscarriage (12-28 weeks of gestation), premature livebirths (28-37 weeks of gestation)

    Time frame: up to 37 weeks

  4. Neonatal Data
