    Effect of Increased Circulating Androgens on Granulosa Cell Responses to FSH.

    NCT02389088

    Apr 2006 to Jan 2013

Registry summary

Text and fields below are the sponsor's entries at ClinicalTrials.gov, shown as posted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of increased circulating androgens on estradiol production by the granulosa cells in response to FSH stimulus.

Interventions

  • LetrozoleDrug

Arms2

  • No intervention

    Phase I

    9 PCOS women will be studied. On study day one, r-FSH will be administered I.V. at a dose of 150 IU (FSH stimulation test). Blood samples will be obtained before and after FSH administration. After the FSH stimulation test, each subject will receive an I.M. injection of Lupron 3.75 mg. This dose has a duration effect of one month. The FSH stimulation test will be repeated, as described above, at 5 weeks (early resumption of ovarian function) and 6 weeks (moderate resumption of ovarian function).

  • Active comparator

    Phase II

    Women that participated in Phase I will be studied again after a washout of 2 months. On study day one, an FSH stimulation test will be performed as described above. After the FSH stimulation test, each subject will receive an I.M. injection of Lupron 3.75 mg. This dose has a duration effect of one month. Four weeks after administration of Lupron, each subject will receive Letrozole 5mg for 14 days. The FSH stimulation test will be repeated at 5 weeks (early resumption of ovarian function) and 6 weeks (moderate resumption of ovarian function).
