Can your body clock predict return of periods after chemo?
NCT ID NCT05007834
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 50 women aged 25-35 who lost their periods after breast cancer chemotherapy. Researchers will measure blood markers, physical activity, and sleep patterns to see if these factors are linked to when menstruation returns. The goal is to better understand why some women recover ovarian function quickly while others do not.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict which women will recover ovarian function after chemotherapy, guiding fertility counseling.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (50 participants) that only looks for associations, not a treatment. Results may not apply to other chemotherapy regimens or age groups.
