Filter by:The goal of this randomized placebo-controlled study is to investigate the short-term effects of transdermal estrogen therapy on postmenopausal women with COVID-19 disease. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - the clinical outcomes with adding estrogen treatment to conventional therapy of Covid-19 disease - the biochemical outcomes with adding estrogen treatment to conventional therapy of Covid-19 disease All participants received favipiravir for a week according to the national guidelines published by the Health Ministry of Turkish Republic at that time. As an intervention, transdermal estradiol patch (7.8 mg patch/week) was applied for 14 days on the upper buttock of the patients in experimental arm. As a placebo, hydrogel patch (adhesive hydrogel patch/week) was applied to the female patients for 14 days. Researchers compared experimental and control groups to see if the impact of adding estrogen on the clinical course of Covid-19 disease
To evaluate Brazilian gynecologists, through structured online questionnaires, with questions directed to their opinions and prescriptive habits about menopause hormone therapy. Research participants will complete the questionnaires in digital format online.
Will use a subset of the main study cohort of transgender or non-binary individuals to evaluate the relationships between self-reported exogenous hormone use, endogenous hormone values, renal biomarkers, drug levels and directly measured renal function.
Multicenter, double-blind, controlled, parallel group, randomized study to compare the clinical benefit of Estradiol acetate tablets, estradiol tablets and conjugated equine estrogen tablets, each administered orally, once daily, to postmenopausal women.
In patients with breast cancer who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy or neoadjuvant hormone therapy molecular breast imaging (MBI) is an accurate test for assessing response rate to neoadjuvant therapy.
The typical menopausal symptoms that are associated with a variety of physical and psychological changes (e.g. nervousness, anxiety, and depression) and also with impaired sexual interest and enjoyment are caused by a lack of estrogen, a female sex hormone produced inside the body. To treat these symptoms, women who are postmenopausal can receive a therapy called 'hormone replacement therapy' (the dosage of hormones to replace the body's deficient hormones), for instance, with estrogen preparations injected into a muscle.In women with a uterus estrogen use causes the lining of the womb (endometrium) to grow (thicken) as before the menopause. With long-term use this may lead to pathological changes of the endometrium. That is why this therapy should be complemented by the estrogens' natural counterbalance, progesterone (progestogen), at a certain interval. This causes the lining of the womb to shed, with monthly bleeding like a normal period, thus avoiding excessive endometrial growth.Estrogen treatment is well known to relieve psychological complaints. The combination of an estrogen with a weak androgen (in this case Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA)) is presumed to clearly increase this effect. The present clinical study is to prove that Gynodian? Depot as a combination of estrogen and androgen has a better effect on psychological complaints and sexuality in postmenopausal women than has treatment with the estrogen Estradiol valerate alone.All patients will receive the same therapy, but differing in sequence. Either they receive Gynodian? Depot during the first five cycles and the estrogen-only preparation during cycles 6-10 (treatment group 1) or they receive the study medication in reverse order (treatment group 2). Patients will be assigned to one of the two groups at random. In either case they will be given an injection into the gluteal muscle every four weeks.Women with an intact uterus, in addition to the injections (the day of the injection being the 1st day of a cycle) have to take a tablet containing 5 mg Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) (progestogen) per day for 14 days (cycle days 15-28) to enable the endometrium to shed in a monthly period.The study will extend over a total period of about 11 months, during which the patient will have 16 appointments for examinations.After patient has signed on the informed consent form for participation in this clinical study, the investigator will ask her, which diseases she has at the moment or has had during the past 12 months and which medicinal products she has been taking. Subsequently, she will have a gynecological examination (including the breasts) as well as a general physical examination. Blood pressure, heart rate as well as body height and weight will be measured and noted down. In addition, the doctor will question her about physical and psychological menopausal complaints by means of two different, short questionnaires. Only if the evaluation of these two questionnaires shows that she is eligible for the participation in this clinical study, will the following actions be carried through.Approx. 40 ml blood will be taken from the patient for a thorough laboratory test including her hormone levels, and she will be asked for a urine sample. Additionally, she will have a vaginal ultrasound examination of the womb lining, a cervical smear test (unless already done during the last three months), and an x-ray examination of the breasts (mammography) (unless already done during the last 12 months).These measures will be repeated at Final visit.About 3 weeks after visit 1, when the investigator has the results of all tests prescribed at visit 1, the patient will be asked to appear for visit 2.If the patient is eligible for a participation in this clinical study, she will be given the first injection of the study medication.During the following visits, injections will be given, blood pressure and pulse rate as well as body weight will be measured and blood will be drawn to measure the hormone levels.All procedures will apply also during the second treatment period. When switching to the second treatment period a physical and gynecological examination will additionally be performed.Questionnaires have to be filled in by the patient at different time points during the study.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a prototype web-based module for patients to generate appropriate and focused health information along with a customized set of questions to take to their health care provider for discussion on hormone replacement therapy.
The decision regarding the use of post-menopausal estrogen hormone replacement therapy (HT) is complex because patients must balance the short and long-term risks and benefits. Information from new and important clinical trials must also be considered. The purpose of this research is to develop and evaluate the efficacy of a HT CD-ROM decision-aid in improving the decision making process for women considering the use of estrogen HT.
