Study Summary

This trial is testing if aspirin can lower postpartum Activin A levels in women with preeclampsia, with the hypothesis that this could improve outcomes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for pregnant adults aged 18-45 diagnosed with preeclampsia and expecting one baby. It's not for those planning to deliver outside the study site, involved in other trials, or with conditions like ulcers, bleeding disorders, heart disease, diabetes, kidney issues or multiple pregnancies. Also excluded are those allergic to aspirin or needing NSAIDs.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests if low-dose aspirin (81 mg) can lower Activin A levels postpartum and improve heart function in women with preeclampsia compared to a placebo. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the aspirin group or placebo group without knowing which they're receiving.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Aspirin may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal issues like stomach pain and bleeding risks. Although it's a low dose being tested, participants should still be aware of potential reactions.
