FSH Treatment for Non-obstructive Azoospermic Patients

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of highly purified human follicle-stimulating hormone treatment on the chance of retrieving testicular sperm (sperm retrieval rate) from infertile male patients with non-obstructive azoospermia of unknown origin.

Clinical Trial Description

Preliminary reports showed that hormonal treatment may improve the chance of retrieving viable testicular sperm from men with NOA, but no RCT are available in the field. This randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial sought to evaluate whether the testicular sperm retrieval rate could result higher in NOA patients treated with follicle-stimulating hormone compared to placebo-treated NOA subjects. ;

Study Design

Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator), Primary Purpose: Treatment
