Brief Summary

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

The study aims to compare the novel method of GnRH antagonist administration in the luteal phase versus conventional treatment in IVF patients who develop severe early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and have all their embryos cryopreserved.

Detailed Description

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

GnRH antagonist administration in the luteal phase has been proposed as a strategy for the treatment of established severe early OHSS, causing rapid regression of the syndrome on an outpatient basis. The approach has been described as tertiary OHSS prevention, thereby complementing the primary prevention (GnRH antagonist protocol) and secondary prevention (GnRH agonist trigger) that constitute the OHSS-free clinic concept. No randomized controlled trials (RCT) exist to date comparing luteal GnRH antagonist administration versus conventional treatment.

The aim of the present study is to compare the novel method of GnRH antagonist administration in the luteal phase versus conventional treatment with primary outcome time to severe OHSS regression, in IVF patients who develop severe early OHSS and have all their embryos cryopreserved.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Antagonist

0.25 mg GnRH antagonist cetrorelix will be administered once daily for 4 days, starting on the day of severe early OHSS diagnosis
