Brief Summary

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

Biosimilar drug marketing of recombinant FSH for the treatment of infertility is another step in simplifying fertility treatments, making them easier to manage and more accessible to patients. Taking in mind these arguments ,the study is proposed for determining equivalence in terms of biological effectiveness of an ovarian stimulation protocol with biosimilar recombinant FSH stimulation protocol vs. urinary FSH in oocyte donation program.

Detailed Description

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

Biosimilar products are drugs "like" biotechnological origin to other innovative biological medicines and that can be marketed once the patent has expired. These drugs are intended to achieve the same therapeutic benefit as biological medicinal resembles.

Because of the similarity in both the active substance in the formulation, it is intended to demonstrate the equivalence between the biosimilar medicine of recombinant FSH and FSH of urinary origin in terms of fitness.

The investigators' main objective is to perform a non-inferiority trial of biosimilar recombinant FSH product compared to a conventional ovarian stimulation protocol with urinary FSH in relation to the number of oocytes retrieved and the number of metaphase II oocytes.

Study Groups

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

Biosimilar recombinant FSH

Under current practice, 65 participants will be stimulated with 150 international units (IU)/day biosimilar recombinant FSH, .Daily doses of 0.25 miligrams gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist will start on day 6 of stimulation. From this day may also vary the dose of recombinant FSH biosimilar according ovarian response. In the presence of 3 or more follicles ≥17 mm, a single dose of 0.1 miligram GnRH agonist will be administered for triggering final oocyte maturation

Urinary FSH

Under current practice, 65 participants will be stimulated with 150 IU/day of urinary FSH.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
