Active clinical trials for "Anovulation"

This study aims to investigate the role of the weight reduction agent, Orlistat compared to the Metformin for the management of women who are obese and do not ovulate or have difficulty conceiving. Patients will receive either one of these medications and will be monitored at regular intervals with hormone blood tests and ultrasound scans in order to study the effect of the medications on the reproductive functions. Patients will receive the medications for three months and the study will end if the patient becomes pregnant. The study also aims to investigate the dose of metformin that should be used as there is no consensus to date regarding the optimum dosage for this drug

This is a study to determine whether a low calorie diet using meal replacement shakes compared to current counseling about diet, followed by 3 cycles of clomiphene citrate (if needed) will result in: 1) improvements in ability to ovulate and achieve pregnancy either spontaneously or during 3 clomiphene citrate cycles 2) greater weight loss with reductions in waist and hip circumferences and improvements in hormones that are involved in allowing pregnancy to occur and hormones that are involved in metabolism, such as insulin and glucose (sugar) 3) improvements in other health conditions such as blood pressure, and emotional and physical well-being. Women eligible to participate will be between the ages of 18-35 with a BMI (ratio of weight in kg divided by height in m2) of ≥ 35≤45 kg/m2 who are seeking help for anovulatory infertility including women with a diagnosis of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Clomiphene citrate (CC) and metformin are two effective drugs used to induce ovulation in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), even if it is still unclear which compound between them should be initially administered. The aim of the study will be to compare in a clinical setting the efficacy of CC and metformin as first-line approaches for treating anovulation in infertile PCOS patients.

Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Highly Purified Urofollitropin for Injection Compared to Recombinant Human Follitropin Alfa for Injection for Ovulation Induction in Chinese females

This is an open-label, parallel-group, randomized, multicenter Phase III trial to compare the efficacy and safety of a single 250 microgram (mcg) subcutaneous dose of MSJ-0011 to a single 5,000 international units (IU) intramuscular dose of urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in inducing ovulation in Japanese women diagnosed with anovulation or oligo-ovulation. Ovulation induction therapy will be undertaken with follitropin alfa. The primary objective is to show that MSJ-0011 is non-inferior to urinary hCG, as assessed by the ovulation rate.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of sildenafil citrate on the pregnancy rate in women undergoing induction of ovulation using clomiphene citrate.

This is a prospective self controlled clinical trial. Women with clomiphene Citrate failure, and thin endometrium were recruited (N = 42). In their 6th (Clomiphene citrate only) cycle, women continued on Clomiphene citrate 100 mg/ day for 5 days, and had sonographic measurement of their endometrial thickness , and Doppler evaluation of their uterine arteries on the day of HCG administration. In 7th cycle, women (N = 36) were given usual dose of Clomiphene citrate supplemented with sildenafil vagina gel (5 gm, containing 50 mg sildenafil) twice daily from cycle day 8 till the day of HCG injection. Endometrial thickness and uterine artery Doppler were measured on the day of HCG administration.

To date, it is still unclear the potential role of laparoscopic ovarian diathermy (LOD) in the management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)-related anovulatory infertility. Metformin administration, alone or combined with clomiphene citrate (CC), has shown to be an effective and attractive second-line treatment for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) after failure of CC treatment. The aim of the present study will be to compare in a randomized controlled fashion the efficacy of LOD with metformin plus CC administration in the treatment of the CC-resistant PCOS patients.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Domestic Recombinant Human Follitropin (Gonal-F) for Injection for treatment of WHO Ⅱ anovulation (including polycystic ovarian syndrome [PCOS] subjects).

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effectiveness of letrozole and clomiphene citrate (CC) in patients with anovulatory infertility. DESIGN: Open, prospective, randomized, parallel group, multicentric, comparative trial. SETTING: Out patient clinics of infertility centers in India. PATIENT(S): Fifty-five patients with anovulatory infertility were recruited. Twenty-seven patients (59 cycles) were given letrozole and twenty-eight patients (68 cycles) were given CC. Both drugs were given orally on days 3-7 of menstrual cycle. INTERVENTION(S): Letrozole, CC, ovulation induction, vaginal micronized progesterone, IUI.
