New hope for IVF patients: drug may prevent dangerous ovarian overreaction
NCT ID NCT07043322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two methods to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a serious side effect of fertility treatments. About 150 women at high risk for OHSS will receive either cabergoline or a standard 'coasting' procedure. The goal is to see which approach better reduces the occurrence and severity of OHSS.
