Surgical Menopause clinical trials

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.

Health After eaRly Menopause Due to Oophorectomy

HARMOny

Start date: February 11, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy (RRSO) at the age of 35 to 45 years is recommended for women with a high genetic risk for ovarian cancer. While this procedure decreases the risk of ovarian cancer by 80-96%, it also results in an immediate menopause. Current research on potential adverse effects of premenopausal risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, compromised bone health, cognitive dysfunction and reduced quality of life, is limited, mostly due to short follow up. The investigators will conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study nested in a cohort of BRCA mutation carriers from 8 Dutch centers for hereditary cancer. Eligible participants are women who underwent RRSO before the age of 45. The participants will be frequency-matched on current age with women above the age of 55 without RRSO or with RRSO after the age of 55. Participants will complete an online questionnaire containing various questions about lifestyle, medical history, risk factors for cardiovascular disease, bone health, cognition and quality of life. Participants will be asked to visit one of the participating hospitals for a blood test, a cardiovascular assessment and a DEXA scan for determining bone mineral density. Afterwards participants will be requested to perform the online Amsterdam Cognition Scale.
