About this study

Official title: Premature Ovarian Failure : Genetic and Physiopathologic Analysis

Premature Ovarian Failure (POF), syndrome observed in young woman, present consequences on hormonal and leads at definitive infertility. It's a rare and complex syndrome and for this reason, we propose to initiate a collaborative team network to understand better his genetic and physiopathology.

We are going to realize a global study of this syndrome with clinical and fundamentals approaches. We wish that this project allows us to understand better the physiopathology of this rare disease. Finally, POF responsible genes identification is the base for future development of therapeutics approaches.

Read the detailed description

Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a rare but not exceptional disease concerning 0.1% of the more-than-thirty-years-old women. On the clinical aspect, patients present a primary or secondary amenorrhea depending on when the disease occurs in their lives. Infertility is most of the time definitive and the yet only available therapy is auto implantation of cryopreserved oocytes. Initiation of a substitutive hormonal treatment is also necessary to prevent the consequences of estrogenic hardship (i.e leading to osteoporosis).

POF has numerous possible origins, and can be linked to auto-immune diseases, metabolic disorders (i.e. galactosemia) or even genetic abnormalities. According to her origin, POF is characterized by (a) a depletion of primary follicles, (b) increased or accelerated follicle atresia (c) an alteration of the recruitment of dominant follicle and (d) stopped follicular maturation.

The purpose of our work is to organize a clinical and fundamental research network focussed on premature ovarian failure (POF). It will aim to collect clinical, biological, radiological and histological information on patients, and according to their phenotypes, to decide for searching possible genetic abnormalities leading to POF. And in the same time, the constitution of a broad tissue collection allows the study of ovarian transcripts, using POF as a pathologic model to describe ovaries and follicle development-involved genes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Premature Ovarian Failure, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Oct 2008. 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 Philippe Touraine, MD, PhD (+33 1 42 16 02 11, philippe.touraine@psl.aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

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 28 Oct 2008.
