Determinants of Insulin Sensitivity by Age, Sex, Race/Ethnicity, BMI, and PCOS Diagnosis

The study aims to investigate the relationship between fasting insulin and Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) across various demographic factors, including age, sex, race/ethnicity, body-mass index (BMI), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosis. By analyzing these variables, the study seeks to identify potential variations in insulin levels, which could provide valuable insights into the impact of different factors on metabolic health and the development of insulin-related conditions.

What does a PCOS trial page on PlainTrials include?

A phase explainer, a plain-English summary grounded in the brief summary, inclusion/exclusion extracted from the public eligibility block, sponsor name, and any central contact the sponsor published. It is not a match to a trial.

Where are PCOS studies located in this snapshot?

Sites that appear on these records include Shanghai, Shanghai Municipality; Cairo, Cairo Governorate; Beijing, Beijing Municipality; Istanbul, Turkey (Türkiye); New Haven, Connecticut. A city on a record is not a guarantee that the site is taking new patients this week — call the NCT contact.

Can PlainTrials tell me if I qualify for a PCOS study?

No. Eligibility is decided by the study team using the protocol, labs, and consent. Our “who it is for” list is a readable extract of public inclusion text only.
