NCT ID: NCT04485403 Enrolling by invitation - Inflammation Clinical Trials

The Effect of Ibuprofen on Women With PCOS.

Start date: September 1, 2019
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

Polycystic ovary syndrome occurs in about 10% of women of childbearing age. His pathogenesis is not fully understood. More and more research concerns the role of chronic inflammation in these women as the cause of the disease. In vitro studies have shown a significant reduction in testosterone production by teak cells after ibuprofen. The goal of the project is to use a low dose of ibuprofen in women with PCOS to lower androgen levels.

Treatment of Obesity With Topiramate in Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Start date: May 2014
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Treatment of obesity related to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with topiramate or placebo to assess improvement of clinical and laboratory parameters after 6 months of follow-up

NCT ID: NCT04075149 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Does Treatment of Androgen Excess Using Spironolactone Improve Ovulatory Rates in Girls With Androgen Excess?

CBS009
Start date: December 18, 2019
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Adolescent girls with androgen excess have a higher rate of irregular periods and decreased ovulation rates compared to normal girls, and are considered at-risk for developing polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This pilot study will look at whether giving spironolactone might improve ovulation rates in girls with androgen excess, ages 13-19. If this is true, spironolactone treatment to young girls might prevent PCOS from developing and avoid future infertility.

NCT ID: NCT04006171 Completed - Clinical trials for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Comparison of Serum C Type Natriuretic Peptide Levels Between Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients and Healthy Women

CNP
Start date: July 15, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Recent studies have shown that C natriuretic peptide is produced from granulosa cells, increasing cumulative guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production by affecting cumulus cells through natriuretic peptide receptors. It is suggested that produced cGMP maintains the transport of oocytes via the gap junctions and leads to a continuous increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels in the oocyte. An important role of increased internal cAMP levels in the oocyte is shown to suppress meiotic progression. Deoxyribonucleic acid studies in animals have shown that expression of the natriuretic peptide precursor increases during the periovulatory period and shows that this increase decreases rapidly after luteinizing hormone / human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stimulation.Human studies have shown that after ovulation induction, the CNP level in follicular fluid decreases following ovulatory dose of hCG.Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disease in the reproductive period, characterized by hyperandrogenism, oligo-anovulation, and polycystic ovarian morphology on ultrasonography, and in an animal study investigating the relationship between CNP and PCOS, serum CNP levels were increased in polycystic ovary syndrome.CNP serum level is thought to show differences between healthy women and women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

DAISy-PCOS Phenome Study - Dissecting Androgen Excess and Metabolic Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

DAISy-PCOS
Start date: August 14, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects 10% of all women and usually presents with irregular menstrual periods and difficulties conceiving. However, PCOS is also a lifelong metabolic disorder and affected women have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Increased blood levels of male hormones, also termed androgens, are found in most PCOS patients. Androgen excess appears to impair the ability of the body to respond to the sugar-regulating hormone insulin (=insulin resistance). The investigator has found that fat tissue of PCOS patients overproduces androgens and that this can result in a build-up of toxic fat, which increases insulin resistance and could cause liver damage. In a large cohort of women registered in a GP database, the study team have found that androgen excess increases the risk of fatty liver disease. The aim is to identify those women with PCOS who are at the highest risk of developing metabolic disease, which would allow for early detection and potentially prevention of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, fatty liver and cardiovascular disease. The investigator will assess clinical presentation, androgen production and metabolic function in women with PCOS to use similarities and differences in these parameters for the identification of subsets (=clusters) of women who are at the highest risk of metabolic disease. The investigator will do this by using a standardised set of questions to scope PCOS-related signs and symptoms and the patient's medical history and measure body composition and blood pressure. This standardised recording of a patient's clinical presentation (=clinical phenotype) is called Phenome analysis. The investigator will collect blood and urine samples for the systematic measurement of steroid hormones including a very detailed androgen profile (=steroid metabolome analysis) and of thousands of substances produced by human metabolism (=global metabolome analysis). Phenome and metabolome data will then undergo integrated computational analysis for the detection of clusters predictive of metabolic risk.

Relative Contributions of Predictors of Hyperandrogenism in Older vs. Young Women With PCOS

SHK001
Start date: October 8, 2019
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The objective of the study is to determine the relative contributions of four established predictors of hyperandrogenism (luteinizing hormone [LH] secretion, ovarian response to recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin [r-hCG] administration, adrenal response to adrenocorticotropic hormone [ACTH] administration, and hyperinsulinemia) in older vs. young women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in a cross-sectional, physiological study. The investigators hypothesize that hyperinsulinemia is a stronger independent predictor of free testosterone (T) in older reproductive aged (vs. young) women with PCOS.

NCT ID: NCT03902301 Completed - Obesity Clinical Trials

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus and PCOS Treatment

ProjectPCOS
Start date: April 1, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The effect of Lactobacillus rhamnosus supplementation on body weight, hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in overweight and obesity women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome will be analysed.

Inositol Supplementation to Treat PCOS (INSUPP-PCOS)

INSUPP-PCOS
Start date: January 24, 2020
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

To determine if Inositol, a dietary supplement, will improve ovarian and adrenal androgen excess in women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome(PCOS).

mprmih
Start date: June 18, 2018
Phase: Phase 1/Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

To compare metformin with pioglitazone in improving menstrual irregularities and hyperandrogenism in women with PCOS so that an alternate and better treatment option will be available for hyperinsulinemia in pcos patients.

Offspring Born to Mothers With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort Study

PCOS-BIG
Start date: February 1, 2012
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The Offspring Born to Mothers with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Guangzhou Cohort study (PCOS-BIG) was established to investigate the short- and long-term effects of intrauterine exposure to maternal PCOS on the health of offspring in Guangzhou, China. Data are collected regarding maternal PCOS subtypes, nursing, diet and education as well as health outcomes in their later life. Biological samples including blood and tissue samples are also collected from participants.
