Brief Summary

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

Preliminary reports showed that hormonal treatment may improve the chance of retrieving viable testicular sperm from men with NOA. It was generally believed that gonadotrophin treatment would be ineffective in the presence of high plasma levels of endogenous gonadotrophin.The purpose of this study is to determine whether GnRHa(gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist) combined with hCG(human chorionic gonadotropin) and hMG(human menopausal gonadotropin) are effective in the treatment of non-obstructive azoospermia.

Study Groups

GnRHa/ hCG/ hMG

3.6mg GnRHa (Goserelin, AstraZeneca UK Limited) every 28days for 5 months. After 2 months from the first Goserelin injection, all subjects were treated with hCG (Pregnyl, N.V. Organon Oss,Holland ) at a dose of 2000 IU once a week for 3 months. After 3 months from the first Goserelin injection, all subjects were treated with hMG (Urofollitropin for Injection, Livzon Pharm Group Inc., China) at a dose of 150 IU every 3 days for 2 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

GnRHa/ hCG/ hMG

Intervention Type DRUG

GnRHa was injected subcutaneously at a dose of 3.6mg every 28 days for 5 months. After 2 months from the first GnRHa injection, all subjects were treated with hCG at a dose of 2000 IU once a week for 3 months. After 3 months from the first Goserelin injection, all subjects were treated with hMG at a dose of 150 IU every 3 days for 2 months.
