Multicenter Study
Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy and safety of two HMG preparations gaining their LH bioactivity from different HCG sources.
Reproductive Biomedicine Online 2017 July
In this prospective, controlled, randomized, multicentre, non-inferiority study, efficacy and safety of two HMG preparations (Menopur® - Ferring and Meriofert®- IBSA Institut Biochimique SA) for ovarian stimulation were compared (270 women undergoing IVF aged between 18 and 39 years; BMI 30 kg/m2 or less; less than three prior completed assisted reproduction technique cycles). A standard long down-regulation with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist protocol, with HCG triggering was used; primary end-point was total number of oocytes retrieved; attention was paid toovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). No statistically significant differences between the treatment groups were reported for most of the clinically significant end-points, including embryo quality, fertilization rate, implantation rate, ongoing pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Total number of oocytes retrieved was higher in the new HMG group compared with the reference (11.6 ± 6.6 and 9.7 ± 5.9, respectively, with a 95% CI of the difference equal +0.43 to +3.43). Increased number of oocytes was obtained through a shorter stimulation, but HMG units per oocyte retrieved were equivalent. The safety profile of the products for frequency of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was the same. This study showed that the new HMG preparation is a viable alternative for conducting ovarian stimulation in IVF cycles.
