New treatment option for Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Official title Effect of HCQ Combined With LT4 on LBR in Euthyroid Women With URPL and TPO-Ab
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06652113
What this study is testing
What is hydroxychloroquine and levothyroxine?
hydroxychloroquine and levothyroxine is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for recurrent pregnancy loss.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combined treatment of levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine would improve the live birth of euthyroid women with thyroid peroxidase antibodies and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Researchers will compare combined treatment of levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine to a treatment of levothyroxine alone to see if combined treatment works to improve live birth of euthyroid participants with thyroid peroxidase antibodies and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss.
