Could a simple blood test predict clot risk in PCOS?
NCT ID NCT06339567
First seen Aug 18, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether different types of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) have different blood clotting profiles. Researchers will measure several biological markers in blood samples from women with PCOS and compare them based on the presence of insulin resistance. The goal is to understand if certain PCOS phenotypes are more prone to venous thrombosis, which could help personalize treatment and monitoring.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Blood tests measuring several thrombotic biological markers (C protein, S protein, CRP us, Factor VIII, TFPI, nAPCsr, SHBG, nTMsr)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors tailor monitoring and contraceptive choices for women with PCOS based on their specific phenotype, potentially reducing the risk of blood clots.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not apply to all populations, and the markers measured are only intermediate indicators, not actual clot events.
