Study of Optimal Posology of Gonadotrophins in Patients With Insufficient Ovarian Response Due to Age
- Conditions
- Infertility
- Registration Number
- NCT00575302
- Lead Sponsor
- Centre Hospitalier Chretien
- Brief Summary
In In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, poor responder patients of more than 38 years old are randomized prospectively into two dosages of gonadotrophins. The outcome of treatment will be analyzed.
- Detailed Description
Women \> 38 years, who had an insufficient response to stimulation with regular (for age) posology of 225 IU of gonadotrophins (urinary or recombinant), in an agonist protocol will be randomized prospectively into 2 groups:
300 IU versus 450 IU of Gonal-f® administered in a short agonist protocol. Insufficient response is defined as: development of ≤ 4 mature follicles (of ≥ 16 mm) at time of hCG administration.
Patient can be eligible for several cycles in same protocol.
