NCT01633580

Brief Summary

The purpose of the present study is to analyse if corifollitropin alfa, an agent for prolonged ovarian stimulation, administered from day 4 can be clinically used instead of day 2 onwards for a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) in an antagonist protocol.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Consumption of rFSH at the end of the follicular phase

    The purpose is to assess the additional need for recFSH in each treatment group

    up to 9 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pregnancy rate

    Up to 9 months

Study Arms (2)

Day 2 group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Patients undergo a standard treatment with a classical start of corifollitropin alfa in a GnRH antagonist protocol.

Drug: corifollitropin alfa

Day 4 group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients undergo an ovarian stimulation, but start on day 4 with corifollitropin alfa

Drug: corifollitropin alfa

Interventions

long acting FSH

Day 2 groupDay 4 group
