As a C-21 steroid, it has a high affinity for progesterone receptors, a low antigonadotropic activity and antiestrogenic activity, but almost no estrogenic or androgenic activity.

About this study

Official title: A Post- Marketing, Prospective,Multicenter, Observational Program: Severity of Bleeding as a Predictor of Quality of Life (QoL) in Women With Heavy Menstrual Bleeding (HMB) Under Dydrogesterone Treatment

Dydrogesterone is a retroprogesterone with a molecular structure similar to natural progesterone. As a C-21 steroid, it has a high affinity for progesterone receptors, a low antigonadotropic activity and antiestrogenic activity, but almost no estrogenic or androgenic activity. Dydrogesterone (Duphaston©) is indicated for dysfunctional bleeding.

In this study, women suffering from menorrhagia and who are treated with dydrogesterone will be observed for impact on QoL with the reduction in severity of bleeding.

What is being measured

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

  1. EQ-5D Quality of Life questionnaire

    The EQ-5D assesses five dimensions of HRQOL: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain or discomfort, and anxiety or depression. Each dimension is measured on a three-point ordinal scale where a higher score corresponds to a worse health state (no limitation, some limitation, and greatest limitation in HRQOL). This will be evaluated at baseline and then at each follow up visit to see impact on quality of life.

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pictorial Blood Assessment Chart (PBAC) score

    PBAC score of 100 or more corresponds with heavy menstrual bleeding. PBAC score will be assessed at each visit to see any improvement.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Menstrual Cycle Diary

    Change in the nature of menstruation will be taken into account based on the subjects' perception as recorded on the Menstrual Cycle Diary.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Menorrhagia and Metrorrhagia, run by Abbott at 20 sites in Pakistan.

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 4 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 29 May 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in Pakistan. 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?

EQ-5D Quality of Life questionnaire (time frame: 3 months). 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 29 May 2013.
