NCT ID NCT05555680

First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study aimed to understand if high levels of male hormones (hyperandrogenism) in women with PCOS lower the chance of IVF success. Researchers planned to compare pregnancy rates after frozen embryo transfers between women with and without high androgen levels. The study was terminated early after enrolling 32 participants, so results are limited.
