Study population: The population involved in the study includes patients aged 18 to 50 years, premenopausal, consulting in the gynecology department of the university hospital of Reims The "cases" patients will be patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The "controls" patients will be patients without polycystic ovary syndrome. "Cases" and "controls" will be matched on age (+/- 5 years).

About this study

Polycystic ovary syndrome is a common endocrine disorder that affects between 7% and 14% of women of childbearing age, leading to impaired fertility, clinical and biological hyperandrogenism.

Long-term complications such as metabolic disorders, cardiovascular disease and hormone-dependent cancers make it a major public health problem.

Read more

The physiopathology of this syndrome is complicated and still poorly understood, probably multifactorial origin, resulting from the interaction between many factors (genetics, lifestyle, environment).

The environment has also an important role in the development of polycystic ovary syndrome : diet, exposure to pollutants and endocrine disruptors.

There are many sources of exposure to environmental toxins and it is essential to better understand their impact on our health.

Our study aims to assess the association between exposure to endocrine disruptors and development of polycystic ovary syndrome.

The population involved in the study includes patients aged 18 to 50 years, premenopausal, consulting in the gynecology department of the university hospital of Reims.

The "cases" patients will be patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The "controls" patients will be patients without polycystic ovary syndrome. Statistical analysis will determine whether "cases" are more exposed to endocrine disruptors than "controls".

The "cases" patients will be patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. The "controls" patients will be patients without polycystic ovary syndrome. Statistical analysis will determine wether "cases" are more exposed to endocrine disruptors than "controls". "Cases" and "controls" will be matched on age (+/- 5 years).

The statistical analysis consists of description of data (mean and standard deviation, number and percentage) and comparison of exposure to toxicants and endocrine disruptors according to the "cases" and "controls" group by univariate analysis (tests of Student, Wilcoxon, Chi 2 or Fisher's exact) then multivariate (logistic regression).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Exposure to Endocrine Disruptors, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 4 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 10 Aug 2021. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Anne FEVRE (03 26 83 27 48 ext. 0033, afevre@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survey form on exposure to endocrine disruptors (time frame: 1 year). 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 10 Aug 2021.
