چکیده

BACKGROUND This secondary analysis aimed to identify predictors of low (<6 oocytes retrieved) and high ovarian response (>18 oocytes retrieved) in IVF patients undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with corifollitropin alfa in a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol. METHODS Statistical model building for high and low ovarian response was based on the 150 μg corifollitropin alfa treatment group of the Pursue trial in infertile women aged 35-42 years (n = 694). RESULTS Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed in a stepwise fashion (P <0.05 for entry). 14.1 % of subjects were high ovarian responders and 23.2 % were low ovarian responders. The regression model for high ovarian response included four independent predictors: higher anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and antral follicle count (AFC) increased the risk, and higher follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and advancing age decreased the risk of high ovarian response. The regression model for low ovarian response also included four independent predictors: advancing age increased the risk, and higher AMH, higher AFC and longer menstrual cycle length decreased the risk of low ovarian response. CONCLUSIONS AMH, AFC and age predicted both high and low ovarian responses, FSH predicted high ovarian response, and menstrual cycle length predicted low ovarian response in a corifollitropin alfa/GnRH antagonist protocol. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT01144416 , Protocol P06029.

P-82: Antagonist/Letrozole Protocol in Poor Ovarian Responder Patients Undergoing Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection- Embryo transfer Cycles

Background The optimal stimulation protocol for poor responder patients is a therapeutic challenge. GnRH antagonist protocol has been proposed as a potentially proper option for poor responders. Nevertheless, there is no significant difference in terms of clinical pregnancy and cancellation rates be tween the GnRH antagonist and agonist cycles. Therefore, this subset of patients might be the be...

P-228: Low Dose HCG Adjunct to r-hFSH/GnRH Antagonist for Controlled Ovarian Stimulation in Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Prospective and Randomized Trial

Background: Deep suppression of LH in GnRH antagonist cycles may have detrimental effect on reproductive out come. It was hypnotized that adding LH activity via the administration of low dose HCG in late follicular phase shortened the duration of stimulation, decreased consumption of gonadotropin and increased estrogen levels. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of adding low dose HC...

Efficacy of corifollitropin alfa followed by recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone in a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol for Korean women undergoing assisted reproduction

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist protocol using corifollitropin alfa in women undergoing assisted reproduction. METHODS Six hundred and eighty-six in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles were analyzed. In 113 cycles, folliculogenesis was induced with corifollitropin alfa and recombinant f...

A double-blind, non-inferiority RCT comparing corifollitropin alfa and recombinant FSH during the first seven days of ovarian stimulation using a GnRH antagonist protocol

BACKGROUND Corifollitropin alfa, a fusion protein lacking LH activity, has a longer elimination half-life and extended time to peak levels than recombinant FSH (rFSH). A single injection of corifollitropin alfa may replace seven daily gonadotrophin injections during the first week of ovarian stimulation. METHODS In this large, double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial the ongoing pregna...
