简要总结
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of a protocol using FSH alone with that of a protocol using FSH plus a GnRH antagonist for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in cycles of elective freezing in the context of a donor/recipient programme.
详细描述
The hypothesis to be tested is that an ovarian stimulation protocol that includes FSH alone without any LH surge prevention regimens is not inferior to a protocol including FSH plus a GnRH antagonist in terms of clinical outcome in a donor/recipient model.
The formal sample size is calculated as follows:
If there is a true difference in favour of the experimental treatment of 5% (20% vs 15%), then 160 patients (80 per group in case of 1:1 enrolment) are required to be 80% sure that the upper limit of a one-sided 95% confidence interval (or equivalently a 90% two-sided confidence interval) will exclude a difference in favour of the standard/control group of more than 10%.
In the context of the present pilot study (as a first stage), the investigators intend to study 50 patients (25 per group in case of 1:1 enrolment). At a second stage the above mentioned sample size will be used.

结局指标
主要结局
Rate of concentration of progesterone >1 ng/ml
时间窗: At any time within 3 weeks after start of ovarian stimulation.
Concentration of progesterone elevation \>1 ng/ml
Rate of LH secretory peaks
时间窗: 3 weeks after start of ovarian stimulation.
A secretory peak of LH is defined as the increase at levels ≥10 IU/l.
次要结局
