Effect of HCQ Combined With LT4 on LBR in Euthyroid Women With URPL and TPO-Ab

The Efficacy of Hydroxychloroquine Combined With Levothyroxine in Euthyroid Women With Thyroid Antibody Positive and Unexplained Recurrent Pregnancy Loss:A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Study

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if combined treatment of levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine would improve the live birth of euthyroid women with thyroid peroxidase antibodies and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Researchers will compare combined treatment of levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine to a treatment of levothyroxine alone to see if combined treatment works to improve live birth of euthyroid participants with thyroid peroxidase antibodies and unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss. Participants will: * Receive combined treatment of levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine or treatment of levothyroxine alone every day at least 8 weeks before pregnancy, and continue their treatment till the end of pregnancy. * Visit the clinic 4 weeks and 8 weeks after their treatments, and every 12 weeks before they get pregnant for checkups and tests. During their pregnancy, they will visit the clinic before gestation of 12 weeks, and will be followed up with phone call in the second trimester and after parturition.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Women with history of two or more pregnancy loss with the same male partner (including biochemical pregnancies). 2. Karyotype analyses show no pathological abnormalities in each individual of the recruited couple. 3. Women aged between 20 and 40 years old (including 20 and 40). 4. Lupus anticoagulant (LA), anticardiolipin antibody (ACA), and anti-beta2-glycoprotein I antibodies (anti-β2-GP1 Ab) tests are all negative. 5. It is confirmed by ultrasound or hysteroscopy that there are no pathological lesions that affect the morphology of the uterine cavity (such as submucosal uterine fibroids, uterine malformations). 6. TPO-Ab positive (TPO-Ab \> 60 IU/mL using the Siemens kit of electrochemiluminescence method, or TPO-Ab \> 34 IU/mL using the Roche kit of chemiluminescence method). 7. Biochemically euthyroid. TSH, free triiodothyronine (FT3), and free thyroxine (T4) are all within the reference range of corresponding laboratory testing in each research center. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. Rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, undifferentiated connective tissue disease, etc. 2. Metabolic or endocrine diseases, such as diabetes. 3. Abnormal renal function: plasma creatinine level ≥130 μmol/L or abnormal liver function: alanine aminotransferase ≥80U/L or aspartate aminotransferase ≥80U/L. 4. Hypertension and malignant tumors. 5. Under treatment with glucocorticoids or immunosuppressor, including cyclosporine, azathioprine, prednisone, and methylprednisolone. 6. Body Mass Index (BMI) \>28kg/m2. 7. Past history of hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, and thyroid malignant tumors; 8. Allergy to 4-aminoquinoline compound, or those with retinal or visual field lesions caused by 4-aminoquinoline compound. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

DRUG

hydroxychloroquine and levothyroxine

Hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets (Fenle, 0.1g) will be given at a total daily dose of 0.2g to 0.4g based on individual weight as described above. During the study, if TSH is higher than 4.0 mIU/L or exceeds the lower limit of the reference range of the center in the first trimester, or TSH level exceeds the normal range of the center during the second or the third trimester, subjects will be instructed to suspend the medication and visit the Department of Endocrinology.

DRUG

Levothyroxine

Levothyroxine sodium tablets (Euthyrox, 50 μg) will be given 12.5μg \~50 μg daily based on patients' TSH levels and weights as described above. During the study, if TSH is higher than 4.0 mIU/L or exceeds the lower limit of the reference range of the center in the first trimester, or TSH level exceeds the normal range of the center during the second or the third trimester, subjects will be instructed to suspend the medication and visit the Department of Endocrinology.
