New study tests hormone combo to boost IVF success in adenomyosis patients
NCT ID NCT06239376
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a two-month hormone pretreatment (GnRH agonist plus letrozole) before standard frozen embryo transfer can improve live birth rates in women with adenomyosis. About 222 participants will be randomly assigned to either the new regimen or standard care. The goal is to find a more effective way to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- GnRH agonist (Diphereline) and letrozole (Femara) followed by estradiol valerate and progesterone
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could identify a better way to prepare the uterus for embryo transfer in women with adenomyosis, potentially increasing the chance of a live birth.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-phase trial (222 participants) comparing two existing protocols, so results may not be definitive or widely applicable. Side effects from the hormone treatments, such as headaches or mood changes, are possible.
