Evaluation of a Long Versus Short Clomid Protocol for Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (NCT06701071)

Evaluation of a Long Versus Short Clomid Protocol for Controlled Ovarian Stimulation in Patients With Diminished Ovarian Reserve Undergoing In-vitro Fertilization: a Randomized Controlled Trial

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Phase4 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: University of Southern California

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a long Clomid protocol as compared to a 5-day Clomid protocol for ovarian stimulation in patients with diminished ovarian reserve undergoing ovarian stimulation for in-vitro fertilization. The aim of the long Clomid protocol is to intensify stimulation of the ovaries and reduce both cost and injection burden for patients. Participants will be randomized to receive the long Clomid protocol vs. the typical protocol involving Clomid only for 5 days followed by growth hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. The primary outcome the investigators will evaluate will be the number of mature eggs retrieved.
