Brief Summary

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

The main purpose of this clinical research study is to investigate if degarelix can synchronise the growth of the egg sacs in the ovaries and if degarelix has any effect on the lining of the womb.

Detailed Description

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

For the primary end-point (data collected on Stimulation Day 1), the study will compare degarelix 2.5 mg administered in the mid-luteal phase to placebo administered in the mid-luteal phase.

After Stimulation Day 1 the placebo group will be split into two groups: a degarelix 2.5 mg follicular group and a ganirelix 0.25 mg group.
