Preventive Application of Letrozole Decrease Incidence of Early Onset of OHSS

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02670304
Lead Sponsor
First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University
Brief Summary

Letrozole is one kind of aromatase inhibitors which may have effect on decrease estrogen in luteal phase and inhibit the luteal function of ovary. In 2009, Letrozole was reported as one candidate for the treatment or prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Detailed Description

Letrozole was proved to be effective in decreasing the estradiol level of luteal phase after ovum picked up. In this randomized controlled study, investigators try to observe the effectiveness of letrozole on decreasing the incidence of early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and vascular epithelium growth factor level of women with high ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome risks.
