Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia Blood Pressure (BP) Treatment Goals Less Than 140/90 vs. Less Than 160/110 mmHg: The GOALPOST Trial

This is a phase-III multi-center open-label randomized clinical trial of 4,120 individuals between 23 weeks, 0 days and 35 weeks, 6 days gestation with gestational hypertension or preeclampsia without severe features randomized to antihypertensive medication to a target blood pressure (BP) of \<140/90 mmHg or to no treatment for non-severe hypertension \< 160/110 mmHg (usual care). The primary endpoint is an adverse pregnancy composite comprised of preeclampsia with end-organ damage, medically indicated preterm delivery \<37 weeks 0 days gestation, fetal/neonatal/infant death, or placental abruption.
