Study Description
“AntiPhospholipid Syndrome Low-molecular-weight Heparin Pregnancy Loss Evaluation: The Pilot Study”
The APPLE pilot trial is a feasibility study that is a multicentre, open-label, randomized controlled trial. Pregnant women with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and a history of late (a?Y10 weeks gestation) or recurrent early (2 <10 weeks) pregnancy loss will be recruited. Eligible and consenting subjects will be assigned to one of two study arms: open-label low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) prophylaxis until 37 weeks gestation AND low-dose aspirin (ASA) daily until delivery, or open-label low-dose aspirin daily from randomization until delivery.
