Official Title: Administration of Kisspeptin in Patients With Hyperprolactinemia

Brief Summary: The goal of this project is to explore the use of exogenous pulsatile kisspeptin as a therapeutic alternative for patients with hyperprolactinemia who are intolerant to current therapies.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Massachusetts General Hospital

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Change in number of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) pulses between days 1 and 7 (Arms: Kisspeptin Bolus and Baseline) [ Time Frame: Evaluated at Visits 1 and 2 (Days 1 and 7) ]
  • Change in follicle size in mm by ultrasound over the course of kisspeptin administration (Arm: Pulsatile Kisspeptin) [ Time Frame: Evaluated at Visits 10, 13, 15,17 (Days 7, 10, 12, and 14 kisspeptin administration) ]


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Ovulation after high dose kisspeptin as evidenced by ultrasound (Arm: Pulsatile Kisspeptin) [ Time Frame: Evaluated on day 34 ]
    Ultrasound evidence of corpus luteum will be used to determine if ovulation occurred
  • Prolactin [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
  • Estrogen [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]
  • Progesterone [ Time Frame: Through study completion, an average of 3 months ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
