Protocol summary

Study aim
To determine the effect of melatonin and magnesium co-supplementation on metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory parameters and biomarkers of oxidative stress in women with PCOS
Design
Phase 3 clinical trials with a control group, factorial, double-blind, randomized, 84 patient with PCOS, randomized allocation into 4 groups (melatonin, magnesium, cosupplementation, placebo) with permuted block randomization
Settings and conduct
84 patients referring to Alzahra hospital of Tabriz who meet the criteria, will be randomly allocated into 4 groups. General characterization and the assessment of anthropometric, diet, physical activity, sleep quality grade, hirsutism and biochemistry will be conducted for each patient. After 2 months, the above assessment will be re-evaluated. For blinding, a person who will not be involved in protocol will create the randomization list. Tablet and placebo will be placed into identical containers and will be labeled. Investigators and participants will be blind to random assignments.

Sample size
Target sample size: 84
Randomization (investigator's opinion)
Randomized
Randomization description
For randomized allocation performing, permuted block randomization will be used by quadrilateral blocks. According to the sample size of 84 subjects, 21 blocks will be generated using the online site (www.sealedenvelope.com). Participants will be entered into study based on the produced sequence. The drug packets will be allocated to the individual with code on them. Therefore, participants will be unaware of the type of intervention that will receive, as well as the random sequence which will be hidden and unpredictable.
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
For blinding and unawareness of participants and investigator, unique codes will be used on the drug boxes. melatonin, magnesium, and placebo tablets will be placed into identical containers by an independent third party. Participants will be entered into study based on the produced sequence. The drug packets will be allocated to the individual with code on them. Therefore, participants will be unaware of the type of intervention that will receive, as well as the random sequence which will be hidden and unpredictable.
