SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes. One explanation is that the infection might increase the existing pregnancy-associated prothrombotic status, leading to a higher risk of placental and vascular complications.

Administration of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (LDASA) has shown to improve maternal and perinatal outcomes in women at high-risk of endothelial and placental complications. However, there are no data on the effect of LDASA in preventing complications in SARS-CoV-2- infected pregnant women.

Objective

To reduce SARS-CoV-2- related complications in a highly vulnerable group to the infection, we will carry out this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multicentre trial in 400 SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women.

The study main objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LDASA administered up to 36 weeks of gestation in SARS-CoV-2-infected pregnant women in reducing the incidence of adverse maternal and perinatal outcomes.

Pregnant women tested positive up to 32 weeks of gestation with a SARS-CoV-2 rapid antigen or PCR test and agreeing to participate, will be randomised 1:1 to receive daily LDASA (125 mg) or placebo up to 36 weeks of gestation and be followed-up until delivery.
