INOVASIA Study: A Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Pravastatin to Prevent Preeclampsia in High-Risk Patients.

 Our objective was to determine if treatment with pravastatin prevents preeclampsia in pregnant patients at risk of preeclampsia.  The study was performed in four major tertiary hospitals in Surabaya, Bandung, and Makassar between 2017 and 2021. Pregnant women at high risk of developing preeclampsia were recruited and randomized into an intervention group and control group. The control group received low-dose aspirin (80 mg) and calcium (1 g) daily, while the intervention group received additional pravastatin (20 mg twice daily) starting from 14 to 20 weeks' gestation until delivery. The pregnancy was followed until delivery, and the clinical data were collected. The primary outcome was the occurrence of preeclampsia.  A total of 173 people participated in this study, including 86 in the control group and 87 in the pravastatin group. The pravastatin group had a significantly lower rate of preterm preeclampsia (13.8 vs. 26.7%;  Pravastatin (20 mg bid) significantly reduces the risk of preterm preeclampsia and preterm birth in women at a high risk of developing preeclampsia. · This is an open-label multicenter RCT to evaluate pravastatin effect to prevent preeclampsia.. · Pravastatin significantly reduces the risk of preterm preeclampsia (PE) and preterm birth in high risk PE women.. · Pravastatin had a beneficial effect on perinatal outcomes, including Apgar scores and birth weight..
