Comparison of Sequential CFA vs CFA +rFSH for Elective Fertility Preservation.

Summary

This randomized was designed as non-inferiority trial aiming to compare the number of MII oocytes with 2-shot of Corifollitropin alpha (CFA) sequential administration: 150μg at stimulation day (SD) 1 and 100μg at SD 5 and 1-shot of CFA administration 150μg at SD 1 following by rFSH 200IU daily from SD 8 in women undergoing elective fertility preservation in a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol and GnRH-agonist (GnRH-a) triggering.
