Trial summary

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy amongst women of reproductive age. PCOS is associated with various cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia hypertension and the metabolic syndrome. Read more about this study

About this study

The polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy amongst women of reproductive age. PCOS is associated with various cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia hypertension and the metabolic syndrome. Whether these increased cardiovascular risk factors result in the development of actual cardiovascular disease in later life remains to be established.

Women with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), experience menopause prior to the age of 40 years. Women with POI may exhibit dyslipidemia. A young age at menopause has been previously associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular risk profile will be assessed in women with PCOS and POI > 45 years of age, consisting of:

fasting serum and urine analyses blood pressure, length, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference ECG carotid intima media thickness cardiac ultrasound

spare serum, plasma and urine will be stored in -80 degrees celsius biobank.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. carotid intima media thickness

    ultrasound measurement of thickness of carotid wall (mean IMT), presence of atherosclerotic plaques (yes/no, location)

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. dyslipidemia

    serum measurement of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  2. insulin and glucose levels

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  3. C-reactive protein

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  4. homocysteine

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  5. uric acid

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  6. androgen levels

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  7. electrocardiogram (ECG)

    documentation of heart rythm, potential signs of ischemia (ST segment), length PR, QRS, QT, RR interval

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

  8. cardiac ultrasound (hypertrophy)

    measurement of left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular mass,

    Measured: 10 years post diagnosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Diseases, run by UMC Utrecht at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 11 Dec 2018. 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 Netherlands. 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?

carotid intima media thickness (time frame: 10 years post diagnosis). 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 NCT02616510, 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 11 Dec 2018.
