Trial summary

Investigators aimed to measure the serum levels of adropin, salusin-α, netrin-1, and nesfatin-1, anti-inflammatory effects of which have been demonstrated previously, in endometriosis patients and to find out any association of them with insulin resistance. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Role of Serum Adropin, Salusin-α, Netrin-1, and Nesfatin-1 in Endometrioma and Their Association With Insulin Resistance

Investigators aimed to measure the serum levels of adropin, salusin-α, netrin-1, and nesfatin-1, anti-inflammatory effects of which have been demonstrated previously, in endometriosis patients and to find out any association of them with insulin resistance.

Read the detailed description

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the endometrial cavity affecting almost 10% of the women of reproductive age. Although benign, it disrupts the quality of life of the inflicted patients through symptoms such as dysmenorrhae, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility. The pathogenesis of endometriosis has not yet been clearly elucidated, however, recent papers implies an underpinning role of inflammation There is a limited number of studies about the levels of these parameters in endometriosis and to date, no report is available on the levels of adropin and netrin-1 in endometriosis. Likewise, according to the investigator's literature search, no research explaining the association of endometriosis with insulin resistance has yet been published. In present study, in an attempt to describe inflammatory pathways playing a role in endometriosis pathogenesis, Investigators aimed to measure the levels of serum adropin, salusin-α, netrin-1, and nesfatin-1, anti-inflammatory effects of which have been priorly demonstrated, and to find out any association of them with insulin resistance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrioma and Inflammation, run by Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 9 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 1 May 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Serum Adropin level (time frame: preoperative in the morning or Day 1 in outpatient clinic,preprandial for healthy volunteers). The study lists 4 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 1 May 2020.
