U01-HL 119242 (Cutter) 09/01/2014 ? 05/31/2020 NIH/NHLBI Chronic Hypertension and Pregnancy (CHAP): Data Coordinating Center We propose a large pragmatic multi-center randomized trial of pregnant women with mild chronic hypertension to evaluate the benefits and harms of antihypertensive therapy to a goal <140/90 mmHg (as recommended for the general population in the US) compared with ACOG's current policy of expectant management of mild chronic hypertension in pregnancy. The trial will be conducted in 12 experienced research-oriented Ob/Gyn departments (including 25 clinical sites) in the United States. The monitoring plan will include a pre-specified option to increase the planned sample size of 4700 women after interim evaluation by an independent Data Safety and Monitoring Board.
