What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This trial tests whether a higher starting dose of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) improves embryo development in women undergoing IVF. Participants with good fertility prognosis are randomly assigned to receive either 225 IU or 300 IU of FSH daily during ovarian stimulation. The main goal is to see if the dose affects the rate of blastocyst formation, with other outcomes including egg quality and fertilization. The results could help refine dosing protocols for IVF.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) given as a daily injection, at either 225 IU or 300 IU, during ovarian stimulation for IVF.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors choose the best starting FSH dose for women with good fertility prognosis, potentially improving IVF success rates and reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a single trial, and results may not apply to all women. The optimal dose may vary by individual, and higher doses could increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patient or oocyte donor aged \<35 years. * Body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25 kg/m². * Normal ovarian reserve, defined by: * Antral follicle count (AFC) ≥8 on ultrasound; and * AMH level between 1.5 and 4.5 ng/mL. * First IVF treatment cycle. * Controlled ovarian stimulation using a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with recombinant FSH and dydrogesterone. * Indication for in vitro fertilization using intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). * Indication for extended embryo culture to the blastocyst stage. * Willingness to participate in the study and provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) diagnosed according to the Rotterdam criteria, currently referred to as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS). * Structural abnormalities of the ovaries. * Ovarian endometriosis. * Medical or gynecological conditions that may affect ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation. * Indication for luteinizing hormone (LH) supplementation during controlled ovarian stimulation. * Poor sperm quality, cryptozoospermia, surgically retrieved sperm (PESA, TESE, or microTESE), cryopreserved sperm, or donor sperm. * Indication for artificial oocyte activation (AOA) or rescue ICSI (R-ICSI).
