Brief Summary

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

This is a prospective randomised study of the evaluation of the clinical IVF results after following a new revolutionary 3-Injection- Protocol for controlled ovarian stimulation in infertile women.

Detailed Description

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

A randomized prospective study focusing on infertile women undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF, using Elonva (corifollitropin alfa) as part of two different stimulation protocols.

Women assigned to Protocol A receive a bolus late luteal dose of Degarelix, a new long acting GnRH antagonist, a sole Elonva injection in the evening of day 3 of the cycle, followed by the administration of a single dose of triggering agent (GnRH agonist or hCG a, according to the individual response).

Women assigned to Protocol B are administered a single dose of Elonva (corifollitropin alfa) on day 2 of the cycle, followed by daily GnRH antagonist doses, fixed on day 7 of the cycle. Ovulation triggering is the same as in group A, with either GnRH agonist or hCG a, accordingly.

Live Birth Rates are estimated for both groups of patients. The number of the formed blastocysts in each group is measured, as well.

Study Groups

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

3-Injection-Protocol Group

Women in group A (3-Injection-Protocol Group) receive a bolus late luteal dose of Degarelix, a new long acting GnRH antagonist, a sole Elonva injection in the early follicular phase followed by the administration of a single dose of triggering agent (GnRH agonist or hCG a, according to the individual response).

Multiple-Injection- Protocol Group

Women assigned to group B (Multiple- Injection- Protocol Group) are administered a single dose of Elonva (corifollitropin alfa) in the early follicular phase followed by daily GnRH antagonist doses, either fixed on day 6 of the stimulation cycle, or when 2 or 3 follicles over 12-14 mm are present. Ovulation triggering is the same as in group A, with either GnRH agonist or hCG a, accordingly.
