About this study

Official title: Effect of Resveratrol on Metabolic Parameters and Oocyte Quality in PCOS Patients Undergoing IVF Treatment.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by enlarged ovaries, menstrual irregularity and hyperandrogenism and is the most common cause of oligoovulatory infertility. Insulin resistance with resulting hyperinsulinemia is also common among women with PCOS, along with increased risk for dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes and related cardiovascular consequences. Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol with anti-carcinogenic, anti-proliferative and pro-apoptotic properties, that has been shown to decrease proliferation and steroidogenesis in theca cells, emerging as a potential therapeutic agent in PCOS patients. However, little is known about its potential beneficial effect on oocyte quality as well as other reproductive outcomes, such as implantation an pregnancy rates. The present study evaluates effects of resveratrol on selected biochemical parameters and reproductive outcome among patients with PCOS who undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Resveratrol in people with Androgen Profile and Inflammatory Markers, run by IVI Madrid at 1 site in Spain.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 20 Aug 2019. 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 Spain. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Effect of resveratrol on oocyte quality (time frame: 40 days). 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 NCT01782911, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 20 Aug 2019.
