Effect of Piroxicam on Ovulation

July 9, 2015 updated by: Bayer

Single-center, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate Whether a Single-dose of Either 20 mg Piroxicam, 40 mg Piroxicam or 80 mg Piroxicam Shows an Effect on Ovulation After the Onset of LH Surge Compared to Placebo in Healthy Young Women

In this study the effect of piroxicam on the ovulation will be evaluated. Therefore piroxicam will be administered as a single-dose after onset of LH surge (luteinizing hormone, hormone which triggers ovulation).

Additionally blood levels of endogenous hormones (hormones produced by your body) will be measured and transvaginal ultrasound examinations will be conducted at regular intervals. In addition the concentration of piroxicam in blood will be determined in regular intervals.

With regards to the tolerability of the study drug subjects will be asked regularly how they feel.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 35 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Effect of piroxicam on ovulation (delay or inhibition) when given after the onset of LH surge
Time Frame: after 2 months
after 2 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
course of follicle sizes
Time Frame: after 2 months
after 2 months
course of gonadotropins (follicle-stimulating hormone [FSH], LH) and ovarian steroids (estradiol [E2], progesterone)
Time Frame: after 2 months
after 2 months
Concentration-times courses of piroxicam
