The randomization (1: 1) will take place in each center, using the same allocation sequence, in blocks of 4, with the indication of the treatment code inserted in a white, closed envelope. The code will correspond to the number written on the packages to be administered and the list of codes containing the definition of the treatments, will be kept in a sealed envelope, by a collaborator of the PI (Head Nurse), and opened upon completion of the study or at the time of need, in case maternal-fetal or neonatal serious adverse event.
No member of the research team knows which treatment the patients receive because both the active and the placebo are packaged identically and are contained in identical white boxes. Only the randomization numbers distinguish them.
