Testing progesterone effects on hormone timing during sleep in teens
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This early-phase study tests whether a progesterone medicine can change when “luteinizing hormone” (a puberty-related hormone) pulses during wake versus sleep. It focuses on pubertal girls with either normal or higher-than-expected testosterone levels to see how their hormone timing responds.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a mid- to late-pubertal girl with breast development stage 3 or higher, and within 2 years after your first period
- You meet blood-test criteria for either normal or higher-than-expected free testosterone (and/or visible unwanted hair)
- You are healthy enough for study testing, aside from being overweight/obese, having hyperandrogenism, or having properly treated hypothyroidism
- You can provide assent/consent, and a parent/guardian can consent if required for your age
- You agree to avoid pregnancy during the study using reliable non-hormone birth control methods
- You are able to follow medication limits before and during the study (certain hormone, sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure, steroid, and related medicines must be avoided)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early study looks at how certain “male-type” hormones and brain signals (measured through hormone patterns during the day and night) work in adolescent girls with high androgen levels. It may help researchers better understand causes like PCOS and related hormone timing differences.
This early-phase study tests whether spironolactone can “normalize” a key hormone timing pattern during sleep and wake cycles in mid-to-late pubertal girls who have high male-hormone levels. The goal is to learn how this medicine may affect hormone rhythms related to conditions like PCOS.
This study looks at differences in ovarian structure and related hormone or metabolic patterns in adolescent girls soon after their first period. It may help researchers better understand early changes that can be linked to conditions like PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome).
This trial tests whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps protect bone health in teenagers with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). It compares HRT to a placebo and also includes healthy volunteers for comparison.
This study looks at how the environment and your body's natural hormones interact. It is for people with reproductive or hormone-related conditions such as low sex hormones (hypogonadism), infertility, early or late puberty, PCOS, or menopause. The researchers will observe participants over time to learn more about these conditions.
This study follows girls before and after their first period to measure how reproductive hormones and menstrual cycles change over time. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for hormone and period problems, like PCOS.
