Study summary

The goal of this observational study is to find differences in serum biomarkers between ovarian function and normal individuals.

Read the detailed description

Collect the serum of the observation group and control group volunteers, and measure the levels of copper ions, iron ions, ceruloplasmin (CP), CuZn SOD, malondialdehyde (MDA), etc. in the serum.

Study population

Visited the gynecology clinic of Dongzhimen Hospital from November 2023 to October 2024. Upon examination of sexual hormones or AMH, it was considered that patients with Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), and healthy individuals had decreased ovarian reserve function.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. The selection criteria for healthy individuals are follows.

    • women aged 18-45.

      • Basic FSH\<10IU/L, and AMH is within the normal range.

        • Regular menstruation.

          • Agree and sign an form.
  2. The selection criteria for DOR patients are follows.

    • women aged 18-45.

      • For two consecutive menstrual cycles, 25 ≥ basal FSH ≥ 10IU/L or AMH\<1.1ng/ml.

        • Agree and sign an informed consent form.
  3. Selection criteria for POI patients are follows.

    • 18 ≤ females aged \<40 years old.

      • Two consecutive menstrual cycles with basal FSH>25IU/L or AMH\<1.1ng/ml.

        • Agree and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with congenital gonadal developmental abnormalities or a family history similar to "early menopause".
  2. Patients with acquired organic lesions or decreased ovarian function caused by ovarian surgery.
  3. Patients who have undergone artificial cycle therapy with Western medicine or other endocrine treatments within the past three months.
  4. Patients with severe primary diseases and mental disorders such as crdiovascular, cerebrovascular, liver, kidney, and hematopoietic system.
  5. Patients during lactation or pregnancy.
  6. Patients who are allergic to the drugs used in this study or have a history of allergic reactions to traditional Chinese medicine.

Those who meet any of the above 5 criteria for DOR and POI will be excluded and not included in this study. The exclusion criteria for healthy subjects are as (1), (3), (4), and (5).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Diminished Ovarian Reserve Group

    women with DOR

    Diagnostic Test: blood test

  • Premature Ovarian Insufficiency Group (POI)

    women with premature ovarian insufficiency

    Diagnostic Test: blood test

  • Control Group

    women with normal menstruation and levels of sex hormones

    Diagnostic Test: blood test

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testblood test

    Detection of serum levels of copper ions, iron ions, ceruloplasmin (CP), CuZn SOD, malondialdehyde (MDA), etc. Blood samples will be retained from the rest samples for sex hormones samples for testing sex hormones, which don't increase times of blood collection.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 9, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
