Study to Examine Effect of Recombinant Luteinizing Hormone (r-Lh) and Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (r-hCG) for Ovarian Stimulation in Assisted Reproduction Techniques (ART)

September 25, 2013 updated by: Peter Humaidan, Regionshospitalet Viborg, Skive

The Endocrine Efficacy of Either Recombinant Luteinizing Hormone (r-LH) or Low Dose Recombinant Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (r-hCG) Supplementation for Recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (r-FSH) Stimulation in Normogonadotrophic Women Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) Therapy Following a Long-term Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) Agonist Down Regulation Protocol

The study is a prospective, randomised, controlled, and non-blinded multi-center pilot study to evaluate endocrine efficacy of recombinant luteinizing hormone versus recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin administered during controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF/ICSI in normogonadotrophic women.
