A South African trial shows DM199, a stroke drug, may treat preeclampsia, reducing risks for mothers and babies.
A clinical trial in South Africa has shown promising results for a new drug, DM199, originally developed for stroke, in treating preeclampsia, a life-threatening pregnancy condition.
Abigail Hendricks, a 33-year-old woman from Cape Town, experienced severe preeclampsia during her fifth pregnancy, with dangerously high blood pressure and organ damage.
After initial doses of DM199 showed no effect, a higher dose led to significant improvement in the 16th patient, including reduced blood pressure and better vascular health.
The drug, now under further study, may help delay premature delivery and protect both mother and baby.
Preeclampsia causes at least 42,000 maternal deaths annually worldwide.
