Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary outcome is the composite of a broad panel of APS pathophysiology-related blood biomarkers. These biomarkers are regarded to collectively reflect the oAPS phenotype.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The ROMAS study aims to establish proof-of-concept for an etiological role of the gut microbiome in human obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome. The study has a pretest-posttest design in which all subjects undergo a 7 day course of oral vancomycin. The primary study outcome is the composite of a broad panel of APS pathophysiology-related blood biomarkers.
