Pivotal Trials (Near Approval)
Breakthrough Medication
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate how iron status and heavy bleeding during the menopausal transition affect women's cognitive function and quality of life. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What is the association between iron status, cognitive function, mood, quality of family relationships, and quality of life in perimenopausal women? * How does iron repletion, via supplementation, affect cognitive function, mood, quality of family relationships, and quality of life in perimenopausal women? The investigators will compare the effect of iron supplements to a placebo (gelatin capsule) to see if iron supplements could improve iron status, cognitive function, mood, quality of family relationships, and quality of life of iron-deficient and/or anemic women undergoing the menopausal transition. Each participant will: * Make 2 visits (about 2 hours each - baseline and endline) to the Clinical Research Center at Purdue * Make a very brief visit at midpoint (about 10 minutes) for a checkup * Take a daily study supplement or placebo for 4 months

Pre-Exercise Protein for Perimenopause

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This trial aims to compare the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and traditional aerobic exercise on metabolism in overweight or obese women going through perimenopause. The study will also look at how eating protein or carbohydrates before exercise affects these outcomes. The goal is to understand how these exercises and dietary choices can help manage weight and improve metabolic health during perimenopause. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) has been shown to significantly decrease body weight and fat mass, with more pronounced effects in premenopausal women.

Rapamycin for Perimenopause

New York, New York
This trial is testing whether a small dose of rapamycin can delay ovarian aging in women. Rapamycin has shown potential for preserving ovarian health, but using it for an extended period can have negative effects. The goal is to extend the time women remain fertile and delay menopause. This could reduce health risks and improve quality of life for women as they age.

Lean Pork for Perimenopause

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
The goal of this study is to examine the impact of a diet high in fresh lean pork, compared to a plant-based diet, on cardiovascular function and vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal women with overweight and obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood lipids, endothelial function, and blood pressure? 2. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood nitrate, cardiometabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and vasomotor symptoms? Researchers will compare the diet high in pork to a plant-based diet to see if pork helps improve cardiovascular and mesopause symptoms. Participants will: * Consume both of the diets, each for 4 weeks, with a washout period between 2 and 6 weeks in between the diets trials * Visit the clinic 5 times with weekly meal pick ups during the diet trials * Undergo testing procedures including: weight and body composition, blood pressure and pulse, endothelial function using ultrasound of upper arm, microvascular blood flow, blood draws, physical activity measurements, and questionnaires.

HYPOTHESIS: Pregnenolone administration will be associated with greater reduction in depressive symptom severity than placebo in women with current mMDD. STUDY AIMS: Primary Aim: Determine if pregnenolone is associated with greater reduction in depressive symptom severity than placebo in women with mMDD, as measured by MADRS. Secondary Aims: 1. Determine if pregnenolone is associated with greater reduction in anxiety symptom severity than placebo in women with mMDD. 2. Determine if pregnenolone is associated with greater improvement in cognition than placebo in women with mMDD. 3. Determine if pregnenolone is associated with greater improvement in quality of life than placebo in women with mMDD. 4. Determine if pregnenolone is associated with greater improvement in vasomotor symptoms of menopause than placebo. Mechanistic Aims: 1. Determine whether changes in neurosteroid levels with pregnenolone mediate clinical response. 2. Determine if baseline neurosteroid levels predict pregnenolone response. 3. Determine whether depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep or vasomotor symptoms improve first. A crossed-lagged panel model will explore serial correlations between changes in outcome measures.

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Perimenopause clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Perimenopause clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Perimenopause trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Perimenopause is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Perimenopause medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Perimenopause clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Lean Pork for Perimenopause, Melatonin for High Blood Pressure and Cannabinoids for Menopause Symptoms to the Power online platform.
