Effect of Short Term Ovarian Suppression on Androgen Overproduction in Overweight Girls With Androgen Excess

July 17, 2018 updated by: Christine Burt Solorzano, University of Virginia

Effect of Short Term Ovarian Suppression on Androgen Overproduction in Overweight Girls With Androgen Excess (CBS007)

This study will test whether short-term suppression of ovarian function can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that one dose of depot leuprolide agonist administration will improve androgen levels in girls with ovarian androgen overproduction. Specifically, this intervention will improve androgen levels after ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).

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

Ages Eligible for Study

7 years to 18 years (ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Female

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • overweight (>85th BMI%) females
  • Early to late puberty (expected age range 7-18)
  • Hyperandrogenemic (free testosterone greater than 2.5 standard deviations above the mean for normal control subjects of the same Tanner Stage)
  • Screening labs within age-appropriate normal range, with the exception of a mildly low hematocrit (see below) and the hormonal abnormalities inherent in obesity which could include mildly elevated luteinizing hormone (LH), lipids, testosterone, prolactin, DHEAS, E2, glucose, and insulin and decreased follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and/or sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Screening labs outside of age-appropriate normal range
  • Hemoglobin <12 mg/dL and hematocrit<36% (Subjects will be offered the opportunity to take iron supplementation for 60 days if their hematocrit is slightly low (33-36%) (suggestive of iron deficiency anemia) and will then return for retesting of their hemoglobin/hematocrit. If still <36%, they will be excluded.)
  • Morning Cortisol <5 g/dL
  • 17-hydroxyprogesterone >295 ng/dL
  • History of Cushing's syndrome or adrenal insufficiency
  • Pregnant
