    On Day 12th of the menstrual cycle, the USG will be performed on the subject. If there is no dominant follicle found on Day 12th, a serial USG examination will be performed at the interval of 3 days, up to Day 18th. On USG, when there is dominant follicle found, the presence of ovulation will be confirmed by measuring the progesterone level in the next 7 days. If until Day 18th there is no dominant follicle found, the ovulation is counted as absent.

    This additional secondary endpoint is site-specific (applicable only for site 01, i.e. Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta).

Brief TitleEfficacy and Safety of DLBS3233 in Subjects With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Official TitleThe Role of DLBS3233 in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Brief Summary
This is a 2-arm, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, and controlled clinical study, with
6 months of treatment to evaluate the clinical and metabolic efficacy of DLBS3233 in
improving reproductive parameters and to evaluate the safety of DLBS3233 in women with
polycystic ovary syndrome compared with metformin, as an active control.
Detailed Description
There will be 2 groups of treatment; each group will consist of 62 subjects with the
treatment regimens :

- Treatment I : 1 capsule of DLBS3233 100 mg (once daily) and 1 placebo caplet of
Metformin XR (twice daily)

- Treatment II : 1 caplet of Metformin XR 750 mg (twice daily) and 1 placebo capsule of
DLBS3233 (once daily) for 6 months of treatment.

Clinical examination to evaluate the efficacy of the investigational drug will be performed
at baseline and every interval of 1 month.

Laboratory examinations to evaluate the metabolic efficacy parameters and ultrasonography
(USG) examination will be performed at baseline, Month 3rd, and end of study (Month 6th). In
addition to that, USG will also be performed about 2 weeks after Month 3rd (Month 3.5th) and
after Month 5th (Month 5.5th).

Laboratory examinations to evaluate the reproductive efficacy parameters (reproductive
hormone levels) and safety, at baseline and Month 6th (end of study).

General counseling on lifestyle modification will be provided to the subjects by the
assigned Nutritionist. All study subjects should follow a lifestyle modification. Evaluation
on subjects' performance on lifestyle modification will be conducted every follow-up visit
by Investigator, but particularly at baseline, Month 3rd, and end of study (Month 6th) by
the Nutritionist.
