New drug combo may prevent dangerous ovarian condition in fertility patients
NCT ID NCT07568886
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving albumin and furosemide right after egg retrieval can prevent severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in women at high risk during ICSI. OHSS can cause swelling, fluid buildup, and sometimes hospitalization. The trial involved 200 women and compared the drug combination to standard care. The goal is to find a simple way to make fertility treatments safer.
