Summary

This trial aims to examine how semaglutide affects women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and if it can provide any therapeutic benefits.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18-45 with a BMI over 30 who have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Participants must have normal levels of certain hormones. Women using hormone-based contraceptives, fertility drugs, insulin, or those who've had a hysterectomy or endometrial ablation cannot join.
What is being tested?
The study is looking at the effects of Semaglutide on women with PCOS to see if it can be an effective treatment. It's not clear how many groups there are or if there will be comparisons to other treatments.
What are the potential side effects?
Semaglutide may cause digestive issues like nausea and diarrhea, potential low blood sugar events in people taking insulin, increased heart rate, and possible inflammation of the pancreas.
