Lists people 18 to 60. Conditions: Reproductive Disorder; Neurodegeneration; SARS-CoV 2; Long COVID.

  • Female (ages 18-45 years) or Male (ages 18-60 years)
  • No current or recent use of a medication (including hormonal replacement) that, in the opinion of a study investigator, can modulate the reproductive axis or willing to complete an appropriate washout for that particular medication and its…
  • For women, negative serum hCG pregnancy test
  • For cases, diagnosis of post-covid-19 syndrome

1 more inclusion criterion and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Kisspeptin 112-121

Registered summary

The objective of this protocol is to use a case-control paradigm to compare the response to an intravenous administration of kisspeptin in individuals with and without post-covid-19 syndrome. The study subjects will receive a single bolus of kisspeptin.

Kisspeptin Administration Subcutaneously to Patients With IHH

  • Phase 2
  • Stephanie B. Seminara, MD
  • About 36 people
  • Started Feb 3, 2023

In plain words A Phase 2 study of kisspeptin in people 18 and older, run by Stephanie B. Seminara, MD. It plans to enroll about 36 people at 1 US site.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 18 and older. Conditions: Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism.

  • Congenital IHH
  • Confirmed diagnosis by medical provider supported by low sex steroids in the setting of low or inappropriately normal gonadotropins
  • Normal blood pressure (systolic BP < 140 mm Hg, diastolic < 90 mm Hg)
  • No current or recent use of a medication that, in the opinion of a study investigator, can modulate the reproductive axis or willing to complete an appropriate washout for that particular medication and method of administration

1 more inclusion criterion and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

kisspeptin 112-121; leuprolide acetate

Registered summary

The goal of this study is to see whether kisspeptin, a naturally occurring hormone, can stimulate the release of other reproductive hormones in men and women with idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH). The investigators are also examining whether kisspeptin can help women release eggs from their ovaries. Kisspeptin will be administered SC for two weeks in a pulsatile fashion. Ultrasound monitoring of ovarian follicular growth (for women) and frequent blood sampling (every 10 minutes for up to 70 minutes) will be performed to assess the physiologic response to kisspeptin over time. The full summary is on the listing.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists female participants 18 to 45. Conditions: Hypothalamic Amenorrhea; Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism.

  • Female
  • Ages 18-45 years
  • Acquired HH (hypothalamic amenorrhea, aka functional hypogonadotropic hypogonadism)
  • Normal blood pressure (systolic BP < 140 mm Hg, diastolic < 90 mm Hg)

4 more inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

kisspeptin 112-121

Registered summary

The goal of this study is to see whether kisspeptin, a naturally occurring hormone, can stimulate the release of other reproductive hormones in women with hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA). The investigators are also examining whether kisspeptin can help women release eggs from their ovaries. Kisspeptin will be administered subcutaneously (SC) for two weeks in a pulsatile fashion. Ultrasound monitoring of ovarian follicular growth and frequent blood sampling (every 10 minutes for up to two hours) will be performed to assess the physiologic response to kisspeptin over time.
