Condition(s) targeted: Infertility

Intervention: Menotrophin (Drug); Follitrophin alpha (Drug); Cetrorelix (Drug); Choriongonadotropin (Drug); Progesterone (Drug)

Phase: Phase 4

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Ferring Pharmaceuticals

Summary

This study is aimed to demonstrate that highly purified Menotrophin produces significant lower progesterone serum levels during the follicular phase in comparison to Follitropin alpha in the treatment of subfertile females undergoing an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and to investigate if the progesterone serum levels might be a useful predictor for the success rate of the ongoing pregnancy rates

Clinical Details

Official title: Effect of Highly Purified Menotrophin and Recombinant Follicle Stimulating (rFSH, Follitrophin Alpha) in Subfertile Female Patients Undergoing IVF on Progesterone Serum Levels During the Follicular Phase and Their Possible Use as Predictors for the Success Rate of Ongoing Pregnancies

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Serum Progesterone (P4) Level in the Morning of the Day of Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) Administration
