There are a variety of aetiologies underlying premature ovarian failure including Turner syndrome and those with idiopathic onset, however with the increasing success of intensive treatment for childhood cancer, there are increasing numbers of young survivors, with a variety of late effects of treatment, including premature ovarian failure.\n\nEvidence is required for the optimal management of young women with premature ovarian failure, either as a result of childhood cancer treatment or for other reasons. These women are currently offered combined sex steroid replacement in the convenient form of the oral contraceptive pill, or hormone replacement therapy, designed for older women after the menopause. These preparations are not designed to achieve physiological replacement of oestrogen or progesterone, either in dosage or in biochemical structure - many preparations using synthetic derivatives. These younger women who have differing metabolic and psychological requirements are looking to a future of 30 or more years of replacement. The optimal mode of SSR is not known for young women with premature ovarian failure, however there is concern that current regimens may be inadequate for optimal skeletal and cardiovascular health.\n\nCurrent preliminary data demonstrates that use of physiological sex steroid replacement improves uterine parameters. Evidence is required to determine whether optimising sex steroid replacement can also significantly improve parameters of skeletal and cardiovascular health. Young women with ovarian failure face several decades of hormone replacement, so small improvements in management may make large differences to later morbidity and mortality.\n\nThe aim of the study is to determine whether physiological sex steroid replacement improves parameters of skeletal, cardiovascular and reproductive health of women treated with current sex steroid replacement regimens.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['CHILD', 'ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Premature Ovarian Failure\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Intercurrent illness'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT00732693', 'briefTitle': 'Evaluation of Physiologic and Standard Sex Steroid Replacement Regimens in Women With Premature Ovarian Failure', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Edinburgh'}, 'officialTitle': 'Comparison of Standard and Physiologic Sex Steroid Replacement Regimens in Women With Premature Ovarian Failure and the Assessment of Skeletal, Cardiovascular and Reproductive Parameters', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CLIC/Sargent-178000-R35464'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '1', 'description': 'Treatment with standard sex steroid replacement regimen', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Ethinylestradiol / Norethisterone']}, {'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': '2', 'description': 'Treatment with physiologic sex steroid regimen', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Estradiol / Progesterone']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Ethinylestradiol / Norethisterone', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Loestrin 30, Galen Ltd, UK'], 'description': 'Oral ethinylestradiol 30mcg and norethisterone 1.5mg daily for weeks 1-3, followed by 7 "pill free" days', 'armGroupLabels': ['1']}, {'name': 'Estradiol / Progesterone', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Estraderm TTS, Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd', 'Cyclogest, Activis UK Ltd'], 'description': 'Transdermal estradiol 100mcg daily for week 1, then 150mcg daily for weeks 2-4; and vaginal progesterone pessaries 200mg twice daily for weeks 3-4', 'armGroupLabels': ['2']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': 'EH16 4SA', 'city': 'Edinburgh', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'facility': 'Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 55.95206, 'lon': -3.19648}}, {'zip': 'EH9 1LF', 'city': 'Edinburgh', 'country': 'United Kingdom', 'facility': 'Royal Hospital for Sick Children', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 55.95206, 'lon': -3.19648}}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'W Hamish B Wallace, MD', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'NHS Lothian / University of Edinburgh'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Edinburgh', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'oldNameTitle': 'Dr W Hamish B Wallace, Consultant/Reader in Paediatric Oncology', 'oldOrganization': 'NHS Lothian / University of Edinburgh'}}}}
