NCT00867659

Brief Summary

This pilot study aims to address whether the prophylactic use of Cetrorelix Acetate after a long gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist protocol post-hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) administration can significantly reduce the incidence of OHSS in oocyte donors.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Volume of Ascites in the Abdomen is Indicative of the Severity of OHSS

    evaluate by ultrasound examination, physical examination and blood work the incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in oocyte donors receiving a single injection of 3 mg Cetrotide Acetate.

    4 weeks

  • Ovarian Volumes as a Predictor of OHSS Severity

    ultrasound measurements of both ovaries

    30 days

Study Arms (1)

Cetrotide acetate

EXPERIMENTAL

oocyte donors will receive cetrotide acetate on the day of oocyte retrieval. The incidence of OHSS will be assessed.

Drug: Cetrotide acetate

Interventions

cetrotide acetate is a GnRH antagonist. The dose is 3 mg once on the day of oocyte retrieval.

Cetrotide acetate

Limitations and Caveats

Only 20 donors were recruited because this was a pilot study to assess the benefit of Cetrotide acetate in oocyte donors in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
