About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition in which a woman's hormones are out of balance and can cause women to have infrequent or absent periods. PCOS is common, it affects approximately one in every ten women in the USA.

Symptoms of PCOS can vary, but often develop around the time a girl/woman has her first period. In order to have a diagnosis of PCOS for this study, the following signs and symptoms must be present:

Infrequent periods: more than 35 days between each period, 8 or less menstrual cycles in a year, or no menses in a period of 6 consecutive months or greater.

Excess testosterone: elevated levels of this male hormone may cause physical signs like facial hair, baldness and acne.
Because of the severity and nature of this disorder, there are many complications that can arise:

  • Type 2 and gestational diabetes
  • Liver inflammation
  • Endometrial cancer
  • Miscarriage or premature birth
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Weight problems
  • Infertility

PCOS is not fully understood, but it is commonly thought that genetics may affect a woman’s chance of having Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Even though PCOS is a common condition, there are few treatment options available.

The PCOS Studies are looking to see how well an investigational medication works in treating the symptoms of PCOS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Clinical Research Study?

A Clinical Research Study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps to answer important questions about an investigational drug – these may include how well an investigational study drug works for a certain condition. All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved and prescribed to patients. 

Participation in the PCOS Studies will involve visits to a study clinic near your home. 

Those who qualify will receive either the investigational drug or a placebo, as well as all call and study-related medical exams and laboratory tests, all at no cost. Compensation for travel may also be available.

In the PCOS Studies, participants will be randomly assigned to a study group. You will receive either the investigational drug or a placebo, depending on the assigned study group. Neither you nor the study team will know which study group you are in, but in the case of an emergency, the study doctor can quickly find out.
