Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: Weight at birth, duration of pregnancy, Apgar-score 5 minutes after delivery and the amount of days at neonatal department in the Plaquenil versus the placebo group. The immunological status (cytokine profile) in the women who obtains a live birth compared with the women with another pregnancy loss as well as in the women in the Plaquenil group compared with the placebo group. ;Primary end point(s): Chance of live birth in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy losses in women treated with Plaquenil compared with placebo. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: When trial is completed - 186 patients included and they all have either a live birth or another pregnancy loss.;Main Objective: The objective of the trial is to investigate whether Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquin sulfate) prior to and during pregnancy increases the chance of live birth in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy losses compared with placebo.
