10 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The AMH\^2 (Anti-Mullerian Hormone - At My Home) study is a head-to-head-to-head validation study aiming to evaluate the concordance of AMH levels found in blood collected via three different routes: collected at-home using the TAP II device, drawn through standard venipuncture techniques, and collected with the ADx card, another at-home collection device widely available on the market for commercial use.
The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of the normal blood levels of AMH in females from 0-18 years of age and how the blood AMH levels correspond to a female's reproductive development.
Anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) has been shown to be a reliable marker of ovarian reserve. In prior studies, tubal ligation has been shown to have an adverse effect on ovarian reserve. One theory postulated for this effect is that the ovarian circulation is disrupted by the procedure, leading to altered hormone production. In this prospective cohort study, the investigators plan to analyze the rates of AMH decline by comparing the following contraceptive methods: tubal ligation, Essure placement, and levonorgestrel intrauterine devices (IUDs).
The present study is designed to evaluate the basal serum levels of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) and inhibin B as early predictors of ovarian response, implantation rate, and pregnancy rate in women 38 years old or older that are undergoing an IVF cycle.
The Access AMH Assay is an in vitro diagnostic assay intended as an aid for fertility assessment. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the Access AMH Assay in the intended use population.
Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disease that affects females nine times more often than males. People with SLE are often treated with cyclophosphamide (CYC). But CYC can damage a woman s ovaries; it may cause infertility. A drug called GnRHa is sometimes given to protect the ovaries during CYC therapy. But no one really knows how effective GnRHa treatment is. This natural history survey will compare women who received GnRHa during CYC therapy with those who did not. Objective: To find out whether GnRHa can help protect women s ovaries during CYC. Eligibility: Women under age 40 years starting CYC treatment with or without GnRHa. Design: This study will do 2 things: It will conduct patient surveys. It will collect data from medical records. Participants will complete a one-time survey. They will answer questions about their menstrual cycle. They will be asked about their history of pregnancy or infertility. Participants can take the survey in 4 ways: On paper, sent through the mail. Online, in a secure web page managed by the NIH. By phone. In person, during a routine visit to the NIH clinic. The survey will take about 30 minutes. Participants medical records will be reviewed. Researchers will look for data about the participants SLE disease. This may include their symptoms and the results of their blood tests. It may also include the details of prior treatments. Researchers will also collect data about participants reproductive history. This may include their personal or family history of infertility. It may include any fertility treatments and any sexually transmitted infections.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanism that explain the beneficial clinical effect of vitamin D treatment in women with PCOS.
The goal of this study is to observe the impact of caloric intake on ovarian reserve as measured by anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) levels and antral follicles (AFC) visualized on ultrasound. It has been shown that obesity negatively impacts these markers, but research is lacking regarding the influence of nutrition and caloric intake on fertility. This would give the investigators information on how diet may impact ovarian reserve in patients seeking fertility treatment.
This prospective study evaluates the effect of DHEA supplementation on markers of ovarian reserve in women with diminished ovarian reserve.
Dr. Roseff and his colleagues are conducting a study to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel substance (Inofolic Plus®) in improving oocyte (egg) parameters in subfertile female patients, as measured through Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) blood levels.
