Trial summary

There is a high incidence of women suffering from Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). One of the most common treatments for POI is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but HRT doesn't work well, and it has been shown to increase the risk of blood clots in the veins, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer.

About this study

There is a high incidence of women suffering from Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). One of the most common treatments for POI is hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but HRT doesn't work well, and it has been shown to increase the risk of blood clots in the veins, ovarian cancer, and breast cancer. The ability of MSCs to differentiate into oocyte-like cells has been previously documented. Herein the purpose of this work is to evaluate the therapeutic potential of cell therapy in women suffering from POI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of mature follicle

    The number of mature follicles developing was recorded by transvaginal ultrasound scan

    Measured: Up to 4 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) serum level

    Serum FSH level was evaluated once a month after surgery

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  2. Estradiol (E2) serum level

    Serum E2 level was evaluated once a month after surgery

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  3. Anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) serum level

    Serum AMH level was evaluated once a month after surgery

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  4. Number of antral follicle development

    The number of antral follicles developing was recorded by transvaginal ultrasound scan

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  5. Ovarian volume

    The ovarian volume was recorded by transvaginal ultrasound scan

    Measured: Up to 4 months

  6. Pregnancy rate

    The incidence of pregnancy following transfer of embryos produced from oocytes recovered from follicles developing was assessed by Serum Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) detection.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing HUC-MSCs transplantation in people with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency, run by Chinese Academy of Sciences at 1 site in China.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jan 2017. 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 China. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Long Yan, Doctor (+86-15650717331, yanlong@ioz.ac.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of mature follicle (time frame: Up to 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Jan 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
