The CHIPS Trial (Control of Hypertension In Pregnancy Study)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intervention is blood pressure management approach and Intervention is blood pressure management approach. for Gestational Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 987 participants across 111 sites in 15 countries.
Detailed Summary
The investigators do not know which approach to treatment of non-severe high blood pressure in pregnancy is better for women and babies. In the CHIPS Trial, the investigators seek to determine whether 'less tight' control (aiming for a diastolic blood pressure \[dBP\] of 100 mmHg), compared with 'tight' control (aiming for a diastolic blood pressure \[dBP\] of 85 mmHg) can decrease the risks of adverse baby outcomes without increasing the risk of problems for the mother.

Timeline
Interventions
1\) 'Less tight' control. The dBP treatment goal is 100 mmHg. For safety, if dBP is \>105 mmHg, then antihypertensive medication must be started or increased in dose. For dBP \<100 mmHg, antihypertensive therapy should be decreased in dose or stopped, as appropriate. The intervention will be applied until delivery.
'Tight' control. The dBP treatment goal is 85 mmHg. For safety, if dBP is \<80 mmHg, then antihypertensive medication must be decreased in dose or discontinued. If dBP is \>85 mmHg, then antihypertensive therapy should be started or increased in dose. The intervention will be applied until delivery.
