Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Multicenter, prospective, randomized, investigator blind, controlled clinical trial. Two parallel groups, one receiving the test drug hMG (hMG-IBSA, IBSA Institut Biochimique sa) and the other the reference drug hMG (Menopur, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc.).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy and general tolerability of two different subcutaneous hMG preparations (hMG-IBSA, IBSA vs Menopur, Ferring Pharmaceuticals, Inc.) when administered to patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF.
