Brief Summary

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

This goal of this study is to evaluate the outcomes from in vitro fertilization cycles where a 450 IU daily dose of gonadotropins is administered compared to those where a 600 IU daily dose is administered for women who are at risk of a poor ovarian response in order to determine if one dose or the other results in improved cycle outcomes.
