Summary
This completed phase 1 study looked at how the fertility drug Pergoveris (a combination of two hormones, FSH and LH) is processed in the body of 24 healthy premenopausal women of Japanese or Caucasian origin. Participants took a birth control pill for about 4 weeks to suppress their natural hormones, then received a single injection of Pergoveris. The goal was to measure hormone levels in the blood and check for side effects, helping to guide future dosing in fertility treatments.
