Study of hormone timing in teens with high androgens
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a mid- to late-pubertal girl: at least Tanner stage 3 and within 2 years after your first period
- Blood tests or symptoms show high androgens (for example, unwanted facial/body hair)
- You are generally healthy, except for being overweight/obese, high androgens, and well-treated hypothyroidism
- You (or your parent/guardian) can agree to take part: assent/consent is required
- You will not get pregnant during the study and will use reliable non-hormone birth control

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 early-stage study tests whether adding an estrogen skin patch (estradiol) can change how your body releases key reproductive hormones in adults with PCOS. It may help researchers better understand PCOS-related hormone control and signaling.
This study looks at how hormones called androgens may relate to “metabolic risk” (things like blood sugar and weight-related health) over time. It mainly needs healthy adult women who can avoid certain medications during the weeks before starting.
This study looks at hormone levels and metabolism in people who may have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It aims to better understand why PCOS happens, which could help improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This trial studies whether a team of doctors from different specialties can better diagnose and treat PCOS. If you have PCOS and are looking for a more comprehensive approach, this study may be a good fit.
