Official title:
A Phase II, Single Center, Open, Randomized, Parallel Group, Dose Finding Study to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of Recombinant Human Luteinizing Hormone (r-hLH), Compared With Urinary Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (u-hCG), in Inducing Ovulation in Infertile Women Undergoing Stimulation of Follicular Development With Recombinant Human Follicle Stimulating Hormone (Gonal F®).
