About this study

Official title: Expression of Steroid Receptors in Endometrium During the Early Follicular Phase in Stimulated Cycles

Expression of steroid receptors in endometrium during ovarian stimulation.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to examine in stimulated cycles a) whether there is a difference in expression of steroid receptors in stroma and glands of endometrium between different days during the follicular phase b)whether there are secretory changes detected by endometrium histology before ovulation c)whether there is an association between expression of steroid receptors in endometrium and exposure to oestradiol and progesterone during the follicular phase.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrium, run by Aristotle University Of Thessaloniki at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Nov 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Steroid receptors expression in endometrium during early follicular phase (time frame: 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00436462, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Nov 2009.
