简要总结
A prospective, interventional, open-label, single-arm, proof-of-concept study: 18 women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) will be treated with 100 mg of Anakinra/Kineret® for 4 weeks. 1 week after last injection patients will have a follow-up and a dexamethasone visit after a dexamethasone suppression test. Goal of this study is to investigate the effect of the Interleukin 1( IL-1) receptor antagonist Anakinra/Kineret® on laboratory and clinical features in women with PCOS.

研究组 & 干预措施
IL-1 receptor antagonist Anakinra 100 mg
Anakinra (Kineret®; r-metHuIL-1ra, Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB) is a recombinant, non-glycosylated form of the human IL-1Ra in a 100 mg/ 0.67 ml solution for subcutaneous injection. Anakinra/Kineret® is supplied in single use prefilled glass syringes with 27 gauge needles as a sterile, clear, colorless-to-white, preservative free solution for daily s.c. administration over a time period of 28 days.
干预措施: IL-1 receptor antagonist Anakinra (Drug)
