Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure Clinical Trials Data presented on Clinical Trials Search is not meant to be a substitute for qualified health advice, visits or treatment with a real mD. We are not doctors. Always consult your doctor about Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure Clinical research trials and Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure healthcare trials happen in many of places across the United States. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally assess the effectivity of new drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for doctors, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover cures for all varieties of conditions, such as Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure. Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to have health treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Some times the human subjects obtain treatment for without cost, and sometimes they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes receive the most effective healthcare possible for their Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure condition. Dangers are a reality, however, and may include extra or frequent physician visits, healthcare dangers (possibly life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Ovarian Follicle Function in Patients with Premature Ovarian Failure
For Condition: Amenorrhea,Hypoaldosteronism,Hypogonadism,Infertility,Premature Ovarian Failure
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) ,
Synopsis: Premature ovarian failure may be the result of the destruction of eggs in the ovaries. Some patients experience complete destruction of all eggs within the ovaries. In these cases, no treatment will restore egg development. However, some patients experience a condition known as premature autoimmune ovarian failure. In these cases eggs still remain in the ovaries, but they are prevented from working normally by the body's own immune system. This study was designed to evaluate patients with premature ovarian failure. It will provide researchers with information that may be used later in other studies related to this condition. In addition, patients participating in this study may be selected for other studies that may benefit them directly.
Details: No proven therapy to restore ovarian function and fertility is available to patients with karyotypically normal spontaneous premature ovarian failure. We know that one-half of these patients have primordial follicles remaining in the ovary, and these follicles can function intermittently. This is a diagnostic omnibus protocol that permits baseline clinical evaluation of patients with premature ovarian failure. The findings will determine patients' suitability for specifically focused therapeutic research protocols.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Observational, Screening
Minimum Age/Maximum Age: /
Genders: Female
Protocol Entry Criteria: INCLUSION CRITERIA: Women 18 to 42 years of age with premature ovarian failure who meet the following requirements will be candidates for the study: 1) at least a four month history of amenorrhea not due to pregnancy, and 2) at least two documented serum FSH levels or two documented LH levels in the menopausal range for the corresponding assay (greater than or equal to 20 U/ml for FSH and greater than or equal to15 U/L for LH in the current Clinical Center assays). EXCLUSION CRITERIA: Women with evidence for karyotypic, metabolic, toxic, or iatrogenic cause of the ovarian failure will not be candidates.
