Peking Union Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing Abstract Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of compound cyproterone acetate (CPA Co,or Diane235) in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome ( PCOS) and to explore its potential role in improving the outcome of ovulation induction in clomiphene (CC) resistant cases. Methods Twenty 2nine proven PCOS patients were enrolled. Seventeen out of them, including 16 who were resistant to CC, had anovulatory infertility. CPA Co was given for 46 cycles. Serum luteinizing hormone(lh), follicle stimulating hormone(fsh), estradiol ( E 2 ), testosterone( T), androstenedione (A), dehydroepiandrosterone (Ds), sex hormone binding globvlin ( SHBG), insulin concentrations, total cholesterol, triglycerides( TG), high density lipoprotein2cholesterol ( HDL2C), low density lipoprotein2 cholesterol ( LDL2C ), apolipoprotein A, apolipoprotein B and transvaginal pelvic ultrasonography were determined before, 23 cycles and 46 cycles after treatment. After stopping the drug, CC or human menopausal gonadotropin were re2administered in 12 patients ( 22 cycles) and 5 cases ( 6 cycles) respectively for induction of ovulation. Results All patients had regular uterine bleeding during CPA Co therapy. Acne improved in 8 cases. Hirsute score didn t decrease significantly. Serum LH, FSH, E 2, A, T, Ds concentrations decreased significantly ( P < ), while SHBG levels increased by 5. 1 times after treatment. Meanwhile, bilateral ovarian volumes shrunk and follicle numbers decreased significantly ( P < ). Serum insulin levels did not change significantly. As to the lipid profile, the most striking change was % increase of HDL2C and % decrease of LDL2C, although TG also increased by % % of patients had mild and transient adverse effects. Serum alanine transaminase increased in 3 cases. After stopping treatment, CC induced 5. 3 % (by cases) or % (by cycles) ovulation rate and 2 pregnancies achieved in 12 CC resistant patients. Conclusion CPA Co has antiandrogenic effects on PCOS patients clinically, biochemically : (,,,, ), B ( )
