This study is prospective, single arm group ,open label, and multicenter trial (with two parallel-group [Hydroxychloroquine 200mg with Aspirin 100mg or Aspirin 100mg])

This study is prospective, open label, and multicenter trial [Hydroxychloroquine 200mg with Aspirin 100mg]

The study population consists of the singleton pregnancy at high risk for preeclampsia who had adverse pregnancy outcome (preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction or intrauterine fetal death) in previous pregnancy.
