Comparison of Follitropin Delta and Follitropin Alfa in Combination With Menotropin (BONANZA)

March 4, 2026 updated by: Clinique Ovo

Comparison of Follitropin Delta and Follitropin Alfa in Combination With Menotropin (the BONANZA Study)

The goal of this retrospective study is to compare the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of two mixed ovarian stimulation protocols in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF).

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • Does the combination of follitropin delta + HP-hMG result in a higher number of utilizable blastocysts per treatment cycle compared to follitropin alfa + HP-hMG?
  • Does the follitropin delta based mixed protocol reduce total gonadotropin dose and cost per usable blastocyst while maintaining or improving pregnancy outcomes?

Researchers will compare follitropin alfa (Gonal-F®) + HP-hMG (Menopur®) with follitropin delta (Rekovelle®) + HP-hMG (Menopur®) to determine which protocol improves ovarian response, embryology outcomes, pregnancy rates, and overall treatment cost-efficiency.

Study Population

Women who underwent their first IVF cycle between 2018 and 2024 at the ovo clinic

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women between 18-45 years included
  • First ovarian stimulation cycle only
