A Multicenter Open-label Clinical Study on the Prevention of Premature Ovarian Failure After HSCT

A Multicenter Open-label Clinical Study on the Prevention of Premature Ovarian Failure After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

HSCT is an effective method to cure hematologic malignancies. However, the reproductive system is prone to be damaged during radiotherapy and chemotherapy before transplantation, leading to ovarian failure, followed by infertility and premature ovarian failure (POF), which seriously affect the long-term quality of life of patients. This clinical trial aimed to observe the effect of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRHa) on ovarian function in women of reproductive age after HSCT, so as to provide clinical evidence for whether GnRHa should be used for the prevention of POF.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an effective method for the treatment of hematologic malignancies. However, in the process of radiotherapy and chemotherapy before transplantation, the reproductive system is vulnerable to damage, leading to ovarian failure, which leads to infertility and premature ovarian failure (POF), seriously affecting the long-term quality of life of patients. Exogenous injection of gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogue (GnRHa) has a significant effect on fertility preservation in adolescent and reproductive female patients with breast cancer and cervical cancer. However, there is a lack of large-scale clinical studies on POF in HSCT. Therefore, this clinical trial aimed to observe the effect of GnRHa application before transplantation on ovarian function in women of reproductive age after transplantation, so as to provide clinical evidence for whether GnRHa application for fertility function protection.
