About this study

Official title: Canagliflozin Administration in Non-diabetic Women With Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which is associated with hyperinsulinaemia, hyperandrogenaemia, impaired glucose metabolism and aberrant adipokines production from the adipose tissue, is a heterogeneous reproductive and endocrine disorder.Currently, metformin, a classical and common insulin sensitizer that can reduce both hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia, is widely used for patients with PCOS. SGLT-2 inhibitor, a novel glucose-lowering medication, have been shown to have positive effects on reducing body weight, blood pressure and cardiovascular events in individuals with diabetes mellitus. However, evidences related to its management in non-diabetic PCOS women are limited. Hence, we want to give canangliflozin combined with metformin to women with PCOS to see its effect on insulin resistance.

What participants receive

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

  • Canagliflozin combined with metforminDrug

    Canagliflozin, a novel glucose-lowering medication, has been shown to have positive effects on reducing body weight, blood pressure and cardiovascular events.

    Metformin, a classical and common insulin sensitizer that can reduce both hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia, is widely used for patients with PCOS.

  • metforminDrug

    Metformin, a classical and common insulin sensitizer that can reduce both hyperinsulinemia and hyperandrogenemia, is widely used for patients with PCOS.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Canagliflozin combined with metformin and metformin in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, run by Shengjing Hospital 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 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 21 Apr 2022. 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. 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?

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?

Body mass index (time frame: Three 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 NCT04973891, 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 21 Apr 2022.
