ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is investigating a new medication called Telpegfilgrastim Injection to see how safe it is and how well it works for women who have had preeclampsia, a condition that can occur during pregnancy and affects blood pressure. The study will include 30 non-pregnant women between the ages of 18 and 45, with some being healthy and others having a history of preeclampsia. Participants will go through a screening process to ensure they are healthy enough for the trial, and they will need to agree to use effective birth control during the study.

Participants can expect to undergo several phases: a screening period to confirm eligibility, a baseline phase before receiving the medication, a treatment period where they will receive the Telpegfilgrastim Injection, and a follow-up period afterward. The trial is currently not recruiting participants, so it’s important to stay informed about when it will begin. This study aims to gather important information about how the drug works and its effects on women who may be at risk for complications related to preeclampsia.
