Trial Outcomes & Findings for GnRH Analogue for Ovarian Function Preservation in Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Patients (NCT NCT00429494)

NCT ID: NCT00429494

Last Updated: 2013-07-09

Results Overview

Hormonal profile blood tests including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test, luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol levels done every two months with menstruation questionnaire, starting three months after the injection of the second dose of leuprolide until the restoration of spontaneous menstruation or the presence of ovarian failure. Any unexpected vaginal bleeding or side effects during the period covered by leuprolide injection, which is 6 months, is recorded by participants in a monitoring checklist sheet given to them.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Of the 59 patients who underwent HSCT, nine patients refused the second dose of leuprolide and were subsequently taken off study. Six patients died of either disease progression or transplantation-related complications before their ovarian function status was evaluated.

Hormonal profile blood tests including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test, luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol levels done every two months with menstruation questionnaire, starting three months after the injection of the second dose of leuprolide until the restoration of spontaneous menstruation or the presence of ovarian failure. Any unexpected vaginal bleeding or side effects during the period covered by leuprolide injection, which is 6 months, is recorded by participants in a monitoring checklist sheet given to them.
