First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two common ovarian stimulation protocols used during IVF in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The PPOS protocol uses a progestin hormone to suppress ovulation, while the antagonist protocol uses a different drug. Researchers will track which method leads to more ongoing pregnancies at 12 weeks. The trial plans to enroll 400 women aged 18–40 with PCOS who are undergoing IVF.
