CHALLENGE

Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders affecting women of reproductive age and one of the leading causes of infertility.

Despite its high prevalence, current treatments focus primarily on managing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of the syndrome.

This limitation, combined with the complexity and variability of PMOS, makes the condition particularly challenging to manage, especially in adolescents and young women, and may lead to long-term complications.

In this context, SPIOMET4HEALTH aims to advance towards a treatment approach based on the mechanisms underlying the syndrome.

SOLUTION

SPIOMET4HEALTH proposes an innovative approach focused on the pathophysiology of the syndrome through the development and validation of a specific therapeutic combination in a single formulation.

The project is evaluating a treatment that targets the metabolic and hormonal mechanisms involved in PMOS, with the aim of providing a more effective alternative to current approaches.

This approach represents a step towards treatments that address the underlying causes of the syndrome, with the potential to improve patients’ quality of life.

RESULTS

The project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium of research centres, hospitals and specialised healthcare organisations from several European countries. As part of the project, a multicentre clinical trial has been conducted in Spain, Italy, Denmark, Austria, Norway and Türkiye, generating a robust body of data on the efficacy and safety of the treatment across a diverse patient population.

These results will help validate a new therapeutic approach and improve the management of PMOS in clinical practice.

Zabala Innovation’s Role

Zabala Innovation participates in SPIOMET4HEALTH as the partner responsible for communication and dissemination. Its contribution focuses on:

  • Defining the communication strategy at European level
  • Supporting the dissemination of results among the scientific community and wider society
  • Translating technical content into accessible messages
  • Enhancing the project’s visibility and engagement with key audiences
  • This work helps maximise the project’s impact beyond the scientific community, fostering knowledge transfer and ensuring that its outcomes reach wider society

At Zabala Innovation, we support organisations in the development of European projects, from proposal design through to the communication and exploitation of results.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme, under grant agreement No. 899671.

“SPIOMET4Health is proposed by a consortium of the highest-profile groups working on PMOS in adolescent girls and young adults (AYAs); this project offers the EU a unique opportunity to enable a robust attempt to generate medical benefits for patients with PMOS.”
