Effectiveness of Two Aspirin Doses for Prevention of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy: ASPIRIN TRIAL
United States10,742 participantsStarted 2024-10-18
Plain-language summary
The overall goal of this large, pragmatic, comparative effectiveness trial is to test the hypothesis that among at-risk individuals, 162 mg/day aspirin is superior to 81 mg/day in preventing Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), and that there are multiple factors associated with adherence with aspirin therapy that will be important to identify to enable optimal implementation of study findings and population-level benefits.

Inclusion criteria
. live intrauterine gestation ≤16 6/7 weeks gestational age based on best clinical obstetric estimate,
. age 14 years or older and able to provide informed consent,
. at least one of the following high-risk criteria: i) any prior pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia ii) current pregnancy complicated by chronic hypertension diagnosed before randomization (ACOG) iii) pre-gestational diabetes (on medication for diabetes prior to pregnancy, or diabetes is diagnosed prior to randomization with hemoglobin A1C of 6.5% or greater or abnormal 3-hour glucose tolerance test) iv) twin gestation (including higher order pregnancy reduced to twins prior to 14 weeks) v) chronic kidney disease vi) autoimmune disease (e.g., antiphospholipid syndrome, systemic lupus erythematous)
. or two or more moderate-risk criteria for HDP (per USPSTF), i) nulliparity (no prior delivery at or after 20 weeks 0 days of gestation) ii) obesity (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2 at time of randomization) iii) age ≥35 years (at time of expected estimated due date) iv) Black race v) low income vi) personal risk factors (previous pregnancy with low birth weight or SGA infant, previous adverse pregnancy outcome \[unexplained stillbirth\], placental abruption, interval \>10 years between pregnancies) vii) Family history of preeclampsia (i.e., mother or sister) viii) In vitro fertilization
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Hypertensive Disorder of Pregnancy (HDP)
Timeframe: From >20 weeks gestation until hospital discharge following delivery, up to 22 weeks
. patient not currently on aspirin OR patient on aspirin for obstetrical indications (e.g., related to IVF, or HDP) and: i- randomized before 130/7 weeks gestation, or ii- randomized on or after 13 0/7 weeks gestation and started aspirin within 2 weeks prior to randomization (e.g., aspirin started for HDP prevention at 12 0/7 weeks and patient randomized at 13 2/7 weeks).
Exclusion criteria
. known allergy or hypersensitivity to aspirin or any medical condition where aspirin is contraindicated (e.g., active peptic ulcer disease, nasal polyps, NSAID-induced asthma, active gastrointestinal bleeding, known G6PD deficiency, severe hepatic dysfunction, bleeding disorders, history of bariatric surgery),
. current or planned aspirin use in pregnancy for non-obstetrical indication (e.g., prior stroke/prior myocardial infraction),
. age \< 14 years,
. involuntarily confined or detained,
. considered as having a diminished decision-making capacity,
. obstetrical ultrasound suspicious for major congenital abnormality, known or suspected fetal aneuploidy, fetal demise, or planned pregnancy termination,
. participation in another trial that affects the primary outcome, without prior approval of the PI,
. plan to deliver at an outside participating site with inability to obtain medical records,
