About this study
Official title: Comparing the Basal Anti-mullerian Hormone Levels Between Responders and Non-responders to Weight Loss Diet in Obese Infertile Women With PCOS Population
This study is a prospective before \& after clinical trial to compare the basal and 3 months after diet anti-mullerian hormone levels between responders and non-responders to weight loss diet in obese infertile women with PCOS population
Read the detailed description
The study population comprised of all obese infertile PCOS patients aged 20-40 years which underwent 3 months weight loss diet in royan institute, Tehran Iran.
The study is conducted over 12 wk energy restriction. All subjects have the same dietary protocol. At baseline, week 12 the levels of AMH,Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Lutienizing Hormone(LH),Prolactin (PRL), androgens, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), glucose, and insulin were measured and Free Androgen Index (FAI) and Insulin Resistance (IR) indices is calculated. The laboratory tests are determined by radioimmunoassay in the Laboratory of Endocrinology of Royan institute. AMH is measured in duplicate using an ultrasensitive ELISA kit (AMH-ELIZA Kit; Beckman Coulter, Marseilles, France) according to manufacturer instructions. All measurements are performed using a single kit and at the same time in the Laboratory of clinical Immunology of Royan institute.
Data collection will be performed by using questionnaire to be filled as per the available records and laboratory results. Data analysis will be done through descriptive and perceptive statistical methods.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Weight loss diet in people with Infertility, run by Royan Institute at 1 site in Iran.
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 2 inclusion and 2 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 6 May 2015. 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 Iran. 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 phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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?
Blood level of AMH (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
