INtensity of OVarian Stimualtion and Euploid Embryos (INOVEE)
February 25, 2025 updated by: Fundación Santiago Dexeus Font
The Impact of Ovarian Stimulation Intensity on Embryo Euploidy in Advanced Age Women
This randomized trial was designed as a no-inferiority trial aiming to evaluate if the intensity of stimulation (a milder vs a more intense approach) may have an impact on the number of euploid embryos and the morpho kinetic parameters in advanced age women undergoing PGT-A with a PPOS protocol.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Follitropin-delta 20 mcg/day from D1
|
On day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle, daily injections of 20 mcg of Rekovelle (Stimulation Day 1) will be administered.
Scan controls blood exams are performed on stimulation days 6, 8, 10 and, according to clinical needs, until trigger day.
The dose will be the same during the whole course of stimulation and no dose adjustments will be performed.
|
|
Active Comparator: Follitropin-delta 15 mcg/day from D1
|
On day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle, daily injections of 15 mcg of Rekovelle (Stimulation Day 1) will be administered.
Scan controls and blood exams are performed on stimulation days 6, 8, 10 and, according to clinical needs, until trigger day.
The dose will be the same during the whole course of stimulation and no dose adjustments will be performed.
