NCT02875587

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of calcium gluconate infusion versus cabergoline in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in patients pretreated with GnRH agonist long protocol who are at high risk for OHSS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Moderate or severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

    Within 4 weeks of HCG adminstration

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The Number of Participants Who Achieved Ongoing Pregnancy

    18 weeks after embryo transfer

Study Arms (2)

Cabergoline group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Cabergoline is administered starting on the day of HCG administration.

Drug: Cabergoline

Calcium gluconate infusion group

EXPERIMENTAL

Calcium gluconate is administered starting on the day of HCG administration.

Drug: Calcium gluconate

Interventions

Cabergoline (Dostinex; Pfizer, Italy) at a daily dose of 0.5 mg is administered orally at bed time for 8 days starting on the day of HCG administration

Cabergoline group

Intravenous 10% calcium gluconate, 10 mL in 200 mL of physiologic saline on the day of ovum pickup, day 1, day 2, and day 3 after ovum pickup. Intravenous infusion will be performed within 30 minutes.
