Can adding estrogen to letrozole boost fertility in PCOS?
NCT ID NCT07379502
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will test whether adding estradiol valerate to letrozole improves the uterine lining in 60 women with PCOS compared to letrozole alone. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups and monitored via ultrasound. The goal is to see if the combination leads to a thicker, healthier endometrial lining, which may help with fertility.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Letrozole and Estradiol valerate
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward a better way to prepare the uterine lining in women with PCOS, potentially improving fertility treatment outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants. It measures endometrial changes, not pregnancy rates, so success here may not lead to higher live birth rates. Results may not apply to all women with PCOS.
