About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Ovarian Reserve Using Anti-müllerian Hormone and Antral Follicle Count in Ankylosing Spondylitis: Preliminary Study

The aim of this study was to determine the status of ovarian reserve in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) using anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC). Women with AS and women controls diagnosed according to the classification criteria proposed by the American-European Consensus Group will be included in the study. Ovarian reserve will be evaluated in terms of clinical findings, AFC and serum AMH and reproductive hormone levels.

Researchers predict that the ovarian reserve may be reduced in patients with AS due to the autoimmune process and the pathophysiology of the disease. Serum AMH and ovarian AFC may be useful for assessing ovarian reserve. It is aimed to determine the course of ovarian reserve abnormalities and the best possible biomarkers of reduced ovarian reserve in patients with AS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

    Additional organ diseases due to the pathophysiology of the disease may be seen in women with ankylosing spondylitis. therefore, we established the first group of women with the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis.

    Women Who Are Diagnosed With Ankylosing Spondylitis Will Form The Study Group. and health women will be control group.

    Clinical And Laboratory Parameters Will Be Evaluated For Ovarian Capacity Of These Women.

    Amh Will Be Looked For (Pmol / L). Antral Folukul Census In The Overin Folukular Stage Will Be Valued As Number. Fsh (Iu / L) And Estradiol (Pmol / L) Values Will Also Be Recorded.

What is being measured

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

  1. anti-müllerian hormone (AMH)

    For ovarian capacity AMH will be examined and AMH levels will be recorded in pmol/l

    Measured: 3 days

  2. antral follicle count (AFC)

    For ovarian capacity AFC will be examined and It will be recorded as a NUMBER.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Diseases and Ankylosing Spondylitis, run by Kanuni Sultan Suleyman Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 9 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 22 May 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) (time frame: 3 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04209881, 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 22 May 2020.
