Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective of this study is to compare highly purified Menotrophin with Follitropin alfa with respect to ongoing pregnancy (determined by positive fetal heart action at more than or equal to 9 weeks after the first positive pregnancy test) in the treatment of 60 subfertile females undergoing IVF using a GnRH antagonist protocol to supress endogenous FSH and LH. ;Primary end point(s): Ongoing pregnancy rate, defined as positive fetal heart action at more than or equal to 9 weeks after the first positive pregnancy test, after the IVF treatment cycle.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objective of this study is to compare the efficacy of highly purified Menotrophin with that of Follitropin alfa with respect to the secondary efficacy endpoints in the treatment of 60 subfertile females undergoing IVF using a GnRH antagonist protocol to supress endogenous FSH and LH.
