Brief Title: Effect of Spironolactone on Adrenal or Ovarian Androgen Production in Overweight Pubertal Girls With Androgen Excess
Official Title: Effect of Spironolactone on Adrenal or Ovarian Androgen Production in Overweight Pubertal Girls With Androgen Excess (CBS006)
Study ID: NCT01422759
Brief Summary: Whether 12 weeks of spironolactone can reduce androgen production from ovaries and adrenal glands of girls with obesity and androgen excess
Detailed Description: This study will test whether spironolactone administration can ameliorate androgen (male hormone) overproduction in overweight pubertal girls with androgen excess. The investigators hypothesize that reduction in P450c17alpha overactivity and androgen receptor blockade by 12 weeks of spironolactone administration will improve androgen levels after adrenal stimulation testing with adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and ovarian stimulation testing with recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG).
