Using CPAP to Improve Menstruation in Women With Polycystic Ovarian

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure in women with both OSA and polycystic ovarian syndrome will improve the regularity of the women's menstrual cycles.

Clinical Trial Description

Women seeking fertility treatment at the University of Louisville will be screened for polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) based on history and then blood work if history suggests PCOS. After establishing a diagnosis of PCOS based on the National Institute of Health criteria, they will be screened for impaired glucose tolerance, Class III obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea [using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) as the initial screen]. For those women that screen positive on the ESS, they will be referred to the University of Louisville Physicians Sleep Center for a formal sleep study. Only patients with PCOS, severe obstructive sleep apnea, impaired glucose tolerance, and Class III obesity will qualify for enrollment in the study. Once enrolled, patients will be encouraged to use continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP, standard of care for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea) for at least six months. During those six months, patients will be asked to track their menstrual cycles and whether they took progesterone to induce a withdrawal bleed during that time period. The use of ovulation predictor kits to help determine ovulation status will be encouraged, but not required for the study.

During initial evaluation, patients seeking fertility care having a clinical presentation concerning for PCOS have their blood drawn for evaluation of thyroid stimulating hormone, free and total testosterone, antimullerian hormone, and 2 hour glucose tolerance test. At the conclusion of six months of CPAP therapy, patients will be asked to repeat the above blood tests for comparison to baseline values.

Women can continue to attempt pregnancy during the study time period if they desire. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
