About this study

Official title: Phenotyping and Genotyping of Women Presenting With Ovarian Dysfunction Associated With a Hypergonadotropic Hypo-estrogenic Hormonal Status (WHO III) and Their First and Second Degree Relatives

This study focuses on the phenotyping and genotyping of women with hypergonadotropic ovarian dysfunction (WHO III status).

Read the detailed description

First goal of the study is to phenotype patiens with hypergonadotropic ovarian dysfunction (WHO III) adequately. This group includes women with premature ovarian failure (POF), incipient ovarian failure (IOF), poor response after ovarian hyperstimulation, early menopause and hypergonadotropic primary amenorrhea. The standardized phenotyping consists of a questionnaire focusing on reproductive, medical, and family history; ultrasonography to assess ovarian reserve and/or antral follicle count and obtaining an extra blood sampling during routine endocrine screening for genotyping.

Phenotyping of patients presenting with ovarian dysfunction is of crucial importance when genotyping will be performed. The goal of this genotyping will be the identification of genetic factors associated with the (premature) depletion of the stock of ovarian follicles. It will be performed for isolated WHO III patients in an association (case-control) study for known candidate genes. In familial WHO III cases, genome wide linkage analysis will be performed.

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Dec 2018. 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 Netherlands. 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.

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact F. Janse, MD (+31 88 75 55555 ext. 53629, f.janse@umcutrecht.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01411644, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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?
