Using LC-MS/MS to profile androgens for PCOS diagnosis
This study tests whether LC-MS/MS measurement of androgen profiles can help diagnose PCOS in women compared with healthy controls.
-
Brown adipose tissue responses in PCOS with infrared thermography and inositol
This study tests whether brown fat activity, measured by infrared skin temperature and UCP-1 levels, differs among women with PCOS (normal weight or overweight/obese) and healthy controls, and whether 12 weeks of inositol changes those responses in overweight/obese PCOS participants.
-
Risk tool for blood-clotting problems in adolescents and women with PCOS
This project will try to build a risk model to spot decreased protein C or S and other clotting abnormalities in females aged 14–45 who have PCOS.
-
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Type 1 Diabetes
This study tests whether women with type 1 diabetes and PCOS differ from other groups in factors that drive androgen excess and what that means for health.
-
PPOS versus GnRH antagonist IVF protocols for women with PCOS
This trial will test whether a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol or a GnRH antagonist protocol gives better IVF outcomes for women aged 18–40 with PCOS.

Detailed health profiling for people with PCOS
This effort will collect clinical, hormonal (including AMH), and imaging information from adult women seen at Strasbourg University Hospital with suspected or confirmed PCOS to try to better define PCOS types.

This test will see whether adding levocarnitine to myoinositol improves insulin resistance and hormone levels in subfertile women with insulin-resistant PCOS.
-
Comparing the pill, oral progesterone, and inositol for regulating periods in PCOS
This test will see if the combined birth-control pill, oral progesterone (dydrogesterone), or myo-inositol helps women with PCOS get regular periods.
-
IVM fresh embryo transfer (Saigon protocol) versus IVF with frozen embryo transfer for women with PCOS
This trial tests whether in vitro maturation with a fresh embryo transfer (the Saigon protocol) helps women with PCOS get pregnant as well as conventional IVF followed by a frozen embryo transfer.
-

This study will test whether a calorie-restricted diet with 30% of total energy from protein improves cardiometabolic health in women aged 18-50 who have PCOS.
-
