Elonva in Combination With Hp-FSH Versus Elonva With Low Dose hCG

February 1, 2021 updated by: Dr. Decleer Wim, AZ Jan Palfijn Gent

Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Ovarian Stimulation in IVF-patients With Corifollitropin Alfa in Combination With Hp-FSH Versus Corifollitropin Alfa in Combination With Low Dose hCG

The study compares in a randomized controlled way two stimulation methods. One of these stimulation methods implements a new insight in ovarian follicular growth. If this novel method of stimulation proves to be as efficient as the classical stimulation protocols, there might be a dramatic reduction of the costs of the medical therapy in IVF, thus reducing also the overall IVf costs significantly.
