Clinical Trial Summary

This study plans to learn more about differences in heart disease risk after gender-affirming orchiectomy (i.e., testes removal) in older transgender (trans) women compared to younger trans women.


Clinical Trial Description

The global aim of this study is to characterize cardiometabolic risk (measured by vascular, metabolic and biochemical factors-which have not been extensively studied prospectively) in trans women before and after orchiectomy. Trans women appear to be at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and blood clots compared to non-trans adults. The effect of orchiectomy on CVD risk among trans women is unknown, but orchiectomy may change blood vessel function and metabolic health. The investigators will examine blood vessel function and metabolic profiles of trans women before and at several timepoints after orchiectomy to identify age-related differences in CVD risk factors. This knowledge may lead to new approaches to prevent CVD in trans women as well as all people regardless of gender identity. ;
