Correspondence] Concerns about the ALIFE2 trial. thelancet.com In the ALIFE2 trial, Siobhan Quenby and colleagues1 found that low-molecular-weight heparin did not result in higher livebirth rates than standard care in women with two or more pregnancy losses and confirmed inherited thrombophilia. A substantial proportion of the 326 women recruited had heterozygous factor V Leiden (184 [56%]) or heterozygous prothrombin G20210A mutations (83 [25%]). However, women with combined thrombophilia, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, and antithrombin deficiency were poorly represented.

(2024-01-20). Correspondence] Concerns about the ALIFE2 trial. thelancet.com We have several concerns about the conclusions of the ALIFE2 study by Siobhan Quenby and colleagues.1 First, even if low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) does not reduce recurrent pregnancy loss, it should also be prescribed for the purpose of preventing venous thromboembolism (ie, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism). The fact that women with inherited thrombophilia have a high risk of venous thromboembolism during pregnancy is well known. As per the 2018 guidelines for venous thromboembolism by the American Society of Hematology,2 pooled absolute risks are particularly high in women with antithrombin def…
