Oligo- and/or anovulation, (ovulation occurs less than once every 35 days).\n2. Hyperandrogenism, clinical signs include hirsutism, acne, alopecia, and frank virilization, while chemical indicators include raised concentrations of total testosterone and androstenedione , and elevated free androgen index.\n3. Polycystic ovaries on sonographic examination, presence of 12 or more follicles in either ovary measuring 2-9 mm in diameter, increased ovarian volume more than 10 cm3 and/or increase in stromal echogenicity. Clearly, according to the Rotterdam diagnostic criteria, the majority of women with PCOS can be diagnosed without the need of laboratory examinations.\n\nClomiphene citrate (CC) is still the first-line medication for the induction of ovulation. It is an anti-estrogenic compound made up of two isomers, enclomiphene and zuclomiphene; the latter being the more potent of the two. It is a non-steroidal compound closely resembling estrogen. CC acts by blocking estrogen receptors, particularly in the hypothalamus, thereby signaling a lack of circulating estrogens and inducing a change in the pulsatile release of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH). This induces release of follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary and is often enough to set the cycle of events leading to ovulation into motion.\n\nCabergoline, ergot-derived dopamine agonists with a very long half life, is an effective prolactin suppressor. Cabergoline oral administration contains a weekly dose of 0.5 - 3 mg, which could be increased, if needed, to twice a week. This medicine has slight dopamine agonistic side effects, headache being the most common one. Treatment in the very beginning should start with a partial dose (half a pill) at bedtime with a small amount of food. Low incidence of side effects and its weekly dose has made Cabergoline a choice drug for treatment of related diseases.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '40 Years', 'minimumAge': '20 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* 2 or more of PCOS signs according to Rotterdam diagnostic criteria (2003).-\n* Primary or secondary infertility.-\n* Absence of galactorrhoea\n* Normal serum prolactin or slightly elevated (up to 50 ng/dl)\n* Normal hysterosalpingography\n* Normal spermogram\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women on other line of treatment as aromatase inhibitors, gonadotrophins, or tamoxifen.\n* Known hypersensitivity for Clomiphene citrate or cabergoline.\n* Other factors of infertility as tubal factor, uterine factor or male factor.'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT02644304', 'briefTitle': 'Clomiphene Citrate Plus Cabergoline in Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': "Woman's Health University Hospital, Egypt"}, 'officialTitle': 'Clomiphene Citrate Plus Cabergoline Versus Clomiphene Citrate Alone in Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associated Infertility', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CC in PCOS'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Clomiphene citrate plus cabergoline', 'description': 'This group will receive Clomiphene citrate 50 mg tablet twice daily from the second day of menses to the sixth day plus cabergoline 0.25 mg from second day every 3 days (4 doses only)', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Clomiphene citrate', 'Drug: Cabergoline']}, {'type': 'ACTIVE_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'Clomiphene citrate plus placebo', 'description': 'This group will receive Clomiphene citrate 50 mg tablet twice daily from the second day of menses to the sixth day plus placebo tablets from second day every 3 days (4 doses only)', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Clomiphene citrate', 'Other: Placebo']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Clomiphene citrate', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': '50 mg tablet twice daily from the second day of menses to the sixth day', 'armGroupLabels': ['Clomiphene citrate plus cabergoline', 'Clomiphene citrate plus placebo']}, {'name': 'Cabergoline', 'type': 'DRUG', 'description': 'Cabergoline 0.25 mg (half tablet) every 3 days (4 doses).', 'armGroupLabels': ['Clomiphene citrate plus cabergoline']}, {'name': 'Placebo', 'type': 'OTHER', 'description': 'placebo(half tablet) every 3 days (4 doses).', 'armGroupLabels': ['Clomiphene citrate plus placebo']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '71111', 'city': 'Asyut', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Egypt', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Kamal M Zahran, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT'}], 'facility': 'Assiut university', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 27.18096, 'lon': 31.18368}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Kamal M Zahran, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'drzahranmk@gmail.com', 'phone': '+20882414616'}, {'name': 'Mohammed K Ali, MD', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'm_khairy2001@yahoo.com', 'phone': '+20882414621'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': "Woman's Health University Hospital, Egypt", 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Dr', 'investigatorFullName': 'Kamal Mohamed Zahran', 'investigatorAffiliation': "Woman's Health University Hospital, Egypt"}}}}
