Phase 1 — Testing in a small group (usually 20–80 people) to find a safe dose and watch for side effects.
This trial is testing whether fish oil supplements, when taken alongside (a common PCOS medication), can help protect your heart better than alone. Women with PCOS are at higher risk for heart disease, so researchers want to see if this medication combination can reduce that risk by improving cholesterol levels and heart function over 12 months.
Women with PCOS often have unhealthy cholesterol patterns and heart changes that increase their risk of heart disease at a young age. This study exists to find out whether adding this treatment to standard care might be a safe, affordable way to prevent these heart problems early on.

You will be randomly assigned to take either plus a placebo capsule, or plus fish oil supplements, every day for 12 months. You'll have clinic visits where researchers will measure your cholesterol levels, blood sugar, heart function (using imaging), and check the thickness of your heart vessels. The study is designed to be straightforward — mainly taking pills at home while researchers track your heart health improvements over the year.
