Filter by:This is an open-label, prospective, randomized, controlled, multicentric, multinational, phase IV study to evaluate the use of Gonal-f in inducing ovulation in female subjects with chronic anovulation. It has been observed that conventional high dose set up regimen of gonadotropin and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is effective in anovulatory subjects in terms of overall pregnancy rates. However, development of multiple follicles leading to multiple pregnancy and/or ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is the major complications associated with this high dose set up. Chronic low-dose (CLD) protocols of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), aimed at finding the threshold amount of FSH necessary to promote monofolliculogenesis, have been found to be successful in reducing the rate of OHSS almost to nil and the rate of multiple pregnancies to a minimum. This post-marketing study will investigate tailoring of recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (r-FSH) in a large population (N=310) of subjects from a region (North Africa/Middle East) that has not been included in previous studies of ovulation induction in subjects with chronic anovulation. The study aims to increase current knowledge of the efficacy and safety of Gonal-f, and provide fertility physicians with experience in Gonal-f treatment in anovulatory infertility, thereby contributing to the development of FSH dosing guidelines for ovulation induction by defining the optimal CLD and Low dose (LD) regimens.
The purpose of this study is to compare the length of time to achieve ovulation and pregnancy with a traditional protocol administration of clomiphene citrate versus a stair step administration. Our hypothesis is by using a stair-step approach in which a period is not induced between administrations of escalating doses of clomiphene citrate, the time to ovulation and pregnancy may be reduced.
