Clinical Study of Recombinant Human Follitropin for Injection Assisted in COH Assisted IVF-ET

Registration Number
NCT03071172
Lead Sponsor
Changchun GeneScience Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of domestic recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (rhFSH) stimulating ovarian to promote follicular development before assisted reproductive technology, which was non-inferiority than that of the imported rhFSH.
