NCT ID: NCT06396117 Completed - Clinical trials for Azoospermia Anogenital Distance AMH

Relationship Between Anogenital Distance, Serum AMH, and mTESE in Klinefelter Syndrome

KS
Start date: March 1, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Azoospermia, the absence of sperm in the ejaculate, affects approximately 1% of males and 15% of infertile men. Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) accounts for 60% of azoospermic patients, who rely solely on testicular sperm extraction (TESE) surgery for sperm harvesting. While conventional TESE (cTESE) and microdissection TESE (mTESE) are preferred methods, the lack of predictive biomarkers for successful sperm retrieval (SR) renders treatment unnecessary for many NOA males. However, research suggests that anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) and anogenital distance (AGD) may serve as predictors of positive SR at mTESE in NOA males. AGD, a marker of fetal androgen disruption and adult outcomes, may also assess male reproductive potential by predicting normal genital growth and sperm creation. A cross-sectional study found a positive correlation between AGD and total sperm count, concentration, and motility in infertile men aged 25-38, providing valuable prognostic insights for azoospermic men.

NCT ID: NCT06294990 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Klinefelter Syndrome

Klinefelter Syndrome and Testosterone Treatment in Puberty

TiPY
Start date: April 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to study the effect of testosterone replacement therapy during puberty in boys with Klinefelter syndrome (KS, 47,XXY). The main questions to answer are how treatment with testosterone will affect body fat mass, lipid and glucose metabolism, growth and body proportions, bone mineralization as well as effects on neurocognitive development and emotional and social difficulties. Participants will be randomized to two years treatment with testosterone or placebo.

NCT ID: NCT05997706 Recruiting - Infertility, Male Clinical Trials

Unraveling the Klinefelter's Disease Physiopathology

KLINEFELTER
Start date: June 12, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Organoid Model to unravel Klinefelter Syndrome infertility Klinefelter Syndrome (KS) is characterized by the presence of an extra chromosome X in male (47,XXY), it is the most frequent genetic cause of azoospermia in adult men. The investigators will isolate and expand spermatogonial cells from KS patients, then using an organoid model investigators will compare the behavior of these Spermatogonia from KS patients when interacting with four combinations of somatic cell types incorporated in the Extra Cellular Matrix hydrogel.

NCT ID: NCT05586802 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Klinefelter Syndrome

Sex Steroids Balance for Metabolic and Reproductive Health in Klinefelter Syndrome

KLIN-HEALTH
Start date: March 21, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The study seeks primarily to determine whether modulation of systemic and testicular sex steroids balance by aromatase inhibitors will positively affect the metabolic health and spermatogenesis of men with Klinefelter syndrome (KFS) as compared to the current state of the art for each issue. Secondary objectives of this study are (i) to unravel the heterogeneity of the reproductive and metabolic phenotype of men with KFS by performing a multi-omic analysis in a large cohort at baseline; (ii) to evaluate the efficacy of semaglutide-induced weight loss to achieve metabolic and reproductive benefit in men with Klinefelter syndrome as compared to standard testosterone replacement; (ii) to assess whether addition of hCG to aromatase inhibitors further increases intratesticular testosterone and promotes spermatogenesis in men with KFS.

NCT ID: NCT05581147 Completed - Hypothyroidism Clinical Trials

Thyroid Function and Structure IN Klinefelter Syndrome

THINKS
Start date: May 11, 2007
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This is a longitudinal retrospective study for the evaluation of thyroid function and structure in patients with Klinefelter syndrome compared to healthy controls and patients affected by chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis.

NCT ID: NCT05498090 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Klinefelter Syndrome

Interrogating Fatty Acid Metabolism Impairment and Clinical Correlates in Males With Klinefelter Syndrome

Start date: November 3, 2022
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This study will learn more about how the body uses energy. Usually, the body uses sugars as energy first and then fats are used when the sugar stores are gone. Some people have trouble using fats as energy. This can lead to feeling tired, difficulty exercising, and storing too much fat where it does not belong (like in the muscle). It is believed that some boys and men with Klinefelter Syndrome may not be able to use fats as energy normally, and that a medication called fenofibrate could help this.

NCT ID: NCT05425953 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Cardiovascular Diseases

Endocrine, Metabolic, Cardiovascular and Immunological Aspects of Sex Chromosome Abnormalities in Relation to Genotype

EMKISCA
Start date: June 13, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Observational study of 160 patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities and 160 matched controls. Blood, fat, muscle, skin, buccal swaps, urine will be collected and analyzed for DNA, RNA and methylation patterns. The goal is to associated genotype and epigenetic changes with the phenotype of patients with sex-chromosome abnormalities. Patients participate in questionaries, dexa-scan of bones, fibroscan of liver, ultra sound of testicles and blood will be analyzed for organ specific blood work as well as immunological and coagulation components.

NCT ID: NCT05014997 Completed - Clinical trials for Endothelial Dysfunction

TyG Index Levels in Klinefelter Syndrome

Start date: February 10, 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

It is well known that the frequency of cardiometabolic diseases are increased in patients with Klinefelter Syndrome. The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance and is also associated with various cardiometabolic diseases. The aim of this study to investigate the TyG index levels and its relationship with insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction in patients with KS.

NCT ID: NCT04803474 Recruiting - Turner Syndrome Clinical Trials

Turner And Klinefelter Treatment Target Study

TAKTT
Start date: July 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Rationale: Health related Quality of life (HRQoL) is impaired in patients with Turner and Klinefelter syndrome (TS and KS). It is unknown what the optimal endocrine treatment target values are that maximize HRQoL in patients with these syndromes. Therefore the relation between HRQoL and biochemical parameters will be studied in large cohorts of patients with TS and KS. This information will give essential insight that will help to improve endocrine treatment and HRQoL in these patients. Research objectives: To explore the relationship between biochemical parameters and HRQoL in patients with TS and KS. Hypothesis: Biochemical parameters are related to HRQoL in patients with TS and KS. Study design: Cross-sectional, observational, multicentre study Study population: Patients with KS or TS, 18 years or older Methods and procedures: To measure fatigue the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS-20) will be used, for QoL the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-L5) will be used and for stress the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and hair cortisol levels. For patients with KS the anxiety scale from the Liebowitz social anxiety scale (LSAS) will be used to measure social anxiety. To measure the long-term exposure to testosterone in KS patients, testosterone concentrations in hair will be measured. For patients with KS, all questions from the questionnaires will be discussed orally during a visit to the outpatients clinic. One extra tube of blood and a strand of hair will be collected during routine blood withdrawal. All other variables are already part of the standard patient care and are available in patient records. For patients with TS all information including the questionnaires and laboratory values is already available and will be collected from clinical records. Main study parameters/endpoints: The relationship between different hormonal parameters and HRQoL as measured by questionnaires. The main hormonal parameter that will be investigated in KS is testosterone in hair. For patients with Turner syndrome, free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and liver enzymes, which have already been collected, will be investigated. The relationships between the EQ-5D-L5 score and testosterone in hair (in patients with KS) and thyroid hormone status (in patients with TS) are the primary outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT04463316 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Prader-Willi Syndrome

GROWing Up With Rare GENEtic Syndromes

GROW UR GENES
Start date: October 1, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Introduction Rare complex syndromes Patients with complex genetic syndromes, by definition, have combined medical problems affecting multiple organ systems, and intellectual disability is often part of the syndrome. During childhood, patients with rare genetic syndromes receive multidisciplinary and specialized medical care; they usually receive medical care from 3-4 medical specialists. Increased life expectancy Although many genetic syndromes used to cause premature death, improvement of medical care has improved life expectancy. More and more patients are now reaching adult age, and the complexity of the syndrome persists into adulthood. However, until recently, multidisciplinary care was not available for adults with rare genetic syndromes. Ideally, active and well-coordinated health management is provided to prevent, detect, and treat comorbidities that are part of the syndrome. However, after transition from pediatric to adult medical care, patients and their parents often report fragmented poor quality care instead of adequate and integrated health management. Therefore, pediatricians express the urgent need for adequate, multidisciplinary adult follow up of their pediatric patients with rare genetic syndromes. Medical guidelines for adults not exist and the literature on health problems in these adults is scarce. Although there is a clear explanation for the absence of adult guidelines (i.e. the fact that in the past patients with rare genetic syndromes often died before reaching adult age), there is an urgent need for an overview of medical issues at adult age, for 'best practice' and, if possible, for medical guidelines. The aim of this study is to get an overview of medical needs of adults with rare genetic syndromes, including: 1. comorbidities 2. medical and their impact on quality of life 3. medication use 4. the need for adaption of medication dose according to each syndrome Methods and Results This is a retrospective file study. Analysis will be performed using SPSS version 23 and R version 3.6.0.
