Corifollitropin Alfa Application in PCOS Patients

Summary

Corifollitropin alfa, single dose administered sustains multiple follicular development for 7 days. However, It may induce ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), especially in high responder women such as patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). In GnRH antagonist protocol with agonist triggering of final oocyte maturation, following embryo cryopreservation can almost eliminate the risk of OHSS. To decrease the injection burden and prevent OHSS in PCOS patients undergoing IVF treatment, ovarian hyperstimulation with Corifollitropin alfa in GnRH antagonist protocol and GnRH agonist triggering of final oocyte maturation, following elective embryo cryopreservation was designed in this study. The purpose of this trial was conducted to confirmed whether this novel protocol could prevent OHSS, decreased the injection burden of PCOS patients and single dose corifollitropin alfa could support multiple follicular growth for 7 days.
