First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether adding a myo-inositol supplement to the standard fertility drug letrozole helps women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) achieve pregnancy. About 168 women will receive either the supplement or a placebo alongside letrozole for up to 5 treatment cycles. The goal is to see if the combination leads to more clinical pregnancies.
