Which progesterone schedule works best for turner syndrome teens?
NCT ID NCT06834594
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks at two ways of taking progesterone for teens with Turner syndrome who are on hormone replacement therapy. One group takes progesterone for 12 days each month, the other takes it every day. Researchers will track bleeding patterns and how the teens feel, to see which schedule works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Micronized progesterone (oral capsules)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a better hormone replacement schedule for teens with Turner syndrome, improving bleeding control and daily comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, non-randomized study at one hospital, so results may not apply to everyone. It compares two existing treatments, not a new drug, so no major breakthrough is expected.
