About this study

Official title: Dulaglutide and Calorie Restrict Diet (CRD) in Overweight/Obese Patients With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder, with a prevalence of 5% to 15% in premenopausal women. Patients with PCOS presents as abnormal menstruation, ovulation disorders and/or hyperandrogenemia, and often accompanied by insulin resistance and other metabolic abnormalities. Visceral fat dysfunction is an important factor in the onset of PCOS. GLP-1 receptor agonist is a glucagon-like peptide 1 analog, which is related to improving blood sugar control, weight loss and appetite suppression, and reducing cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study was to compare whether the combined treatment of GLP-1 receptor agonists and calorie restrict diet reduced more visceral fat of overweight/obese patients with PCOS at the same weight loss (7%) compared with calorie restrict diet alone.

Being tested
GLP-1 RAs, calorie restricted diet
Medical subject headings
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GLP-1 RAsDrug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing GLP-1 RAs and calorie restricted diet in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 4 Aug 2022. 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 China. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

the change in visceral adipose tissue (time frame: until achievement of the weight loss target,an average of 12 weeks). 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 4 Aug 2022.
