One shot instead of many: new egg donor study aims to ease treatment burden

NCT ID NCT06193135

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study compares a single injection of corifollitropin alfa (Elonva) to daily shots of follitropin beta (Puregon) for ovarian stimulation in egg donors. Both groups also take medroxyprogesterone acetate to prevent early ovulation. The goal is to see if the simpler one-shot approach yields a similar number of mature eggs while reducing the physical and emotional strain of daily injections. The trial enrolls 318 healthy women aged 18–35 who are egg donors.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

corifollitropin alfa (Elonva) and follitropin beta (Puregon)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could simplify ovarian stimulation for egg donors, reducing the number of injections and easing the physical and emotional burden of treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-sized trial (318 participants) comparing two established drugs, so the main risk is that the single-shot approach may not produce as many usable eggs as daily injections, or may cause similar side effects like bloating or ovarian hyperstimulation.
