Brief summary

This study proposes to evaluate the effect of adding HP-hMG (Menopur) to follitropin delta in a mixed protocol regimen, using an individualized, fixed dose of follitropin delta based on the established algorithm, combined with a variable, adjustable dose of Menopur based on body weight and ovarian reserve.

Detailed description

The initial dose of follitropin delta will be determined at enrolment by the analysis of serum AMH on days 2 to 5 of the menstrual cycle preceding the IVF treatment cycle and body weight in Kg The initial dose of HP-hMG to be added on top of follitropin delta will be determined at enrolment by the total follitropin delta dose and body weight in Kg

Interventions

COMBINATION_PRODUCTFollitropin delta and HP-hMG

Follitropin delta dose will be determined by AMG and weight in Kg. Highly purified human menopausal gonadotrophin will be determined by follitropin delta dose and body weight in Kg

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate the number of utilizable blastocysts on Day 5 or Day 6 of embryo culture6 days of embryo cultureUtilizable blastocyst is defined as embryo at day 5 or 6 suitable for transfer

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determine dosage of REKOVELLE and Menopur in a mixed protocolup to 20 daysEvaluate the effect of adding HP-hMG (Menopur) to follitropin delta (REKOVELLE) during IVF stimulation
Evaluate the safety profile of the REKOVELLE - Menopur mixed protocol algorithmup to 20 daysThe safety profile is the proportion of women with early and late OHSS and/or preventive interventions for early OHSS (i.e., triggering with GnRH agonist, use of dopamine agonist, conversion of planned fresh transfer into a freeze-all). OHSS is defined as an iatrogenic complication that occurs mainly due to ovarian overstimulation by gonadotropins.
