The aim of the study was to compare simultaneously started clomiphene citrate (CC) and gonadotropins (Gn) with gonadotropins alone in conventional antagonist regimes with respect to fresh-cycle live births, cumulative live births and cost of ovarian stimulation per started cycle.
This was a single-center prospective cohort study conducted over 1 year. Women undergoing autologous in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in antagonist protocols and who consented to participate in the study were divided into two cohorts. The CC cohort (n = 86) received 50 mg CC for 5 days and individualized Gn daily until the hCG trigger, both starting from day 2 and antagonist daily from day 8 of menstrual cycle. The Gn-only cohort (n = 349) received individualized Gn from day 2 and the antagonist from day 7 of menstrual cycle. IVF outcomes and cost of stimulation were compared between two cohorts across expected ovarian response categories.
The CC cohort used a mean lower dose of Gn (1741.38 ± 604.46 vs 1980.54 ± 686.42; MD = -239.16; 95%CI = -348.03 to -189.24; P = 0.003) over fewer days (8.54 ± 1.86 vs 9.25 ± 1.97; MD =-0.71;95% CI = -1.17 to -0.25; P = 0.0026) to achieve similar retrieved oocytes, (9.19 ± 5.92 vs 9.36 ± 6.96; MD = -0.17; 95%CI -1.77 to + 1.43; P = 0.83), positive bhCG rates (40% vs 29.6%, MD = 10.4%; OR = 1.65, 95%CI = 0.95-2.86; P = 0.078) and live births in fresh cycles (32.31% vs 21.30%; MD = 11.01%; OR = 1.76; 95%CI = 0.97-3.19; P = 0.06) and cumulative live births per initiated cycle (30.23% vs 20.34%; MD = 9.89%; OR = 1.697; 95%CI = 0.99-2.88; P = 0.0501). The dose lowering achieved a 28-40% reduction in the cost of stimulation, which was most noticeable in the hyper-responder category for both hMG cycles, (Rs.11 602.3 ± 3365.9 vs 19615 ± 2677.1; MD = -8012.7; %age reduction: 40.8%; P = 0.0007) and recombinant FSH cycles (Rs. 22 459.6 ± 6255.3 vs 33 022.1 ± 9891.2; MD: -10 562; %age reduction: -32%; P = 0.0001).
CC started simultaneously with Gn in antagonist regimes helps lower the cost of stimulation without affecting IVF outcomes.
本研究旨在比较在常规拮抗剂方案中,同时起始使用枸橼酸氯米芬(CC)和促性腺激素(Gn)与仅使用促性腺激素在新鲜周期活产、累积活产以及每个起始周期的卵巢刺激成本方面的差异。
这是一项在1年内进行的单中心前瞻性队列研究。接受拮抗剂方案自体体外受精(IVF)治疗且同意参与研究的女性被分为两个队列。CC队列(n = 86)从月经周期第2天开始,每天服用50 mg CC,共5天,并从第8天开始每天个体化使用Gn直至注射人绒毛膜促性腺激素(hCG)触发排卵;拮抗剂从月经周期第8天开始每天使用。仅Gn队列(n = 349)从月经周期第2天开始使用个体化Gn,拮抗剂从第7天开始使用。比较两个队列在预期卵巢反应类别中的IVF结局和刺激成本。
CC队列在较少天数(8.54 ± 1.86天 vs 9.25 ± 1.97天;MD = -0.71;95%CI = -1.17至 -0.25;P = 0.0026)内使用了平均更低剂量的Gn(1741.38 ± 604.46 IU vs 1980.54 ± 686.42 IU;MD = -239.16;95%CI = -348.03至 -189.24;P = 0.003),以获得相似数量的回收卵母细胞(9.19 ± 5.92个 vs 9.36 ± 6.96个;MD = -0.17;95%CI = -1.77至 + 1.43;P = 0.83)、阳性血hCG率(40% vs 29.6%;MD = 10.4%;OR = 1.65;95%CI = 0.95 - 2.86;P = 0.078)以及新鲜周期活产率(32.31% vs 21.30%;MD = 11.01%;OR = 1.76;95%CI = 0.97 - 3.19;P = 0.06)和每个起始周期的累积活产率(30.23% vs 20.34%;MD = 9.89%;OR = 1.697;95%CI = 0.99 - 2.88;P = 0.0501)。剂量降低使刺激成本降低了28% - 40%,这在hMG周期和重组FSH周期的高反应者类别中最为明显,hMG周期(11 602.3 ± 3365.9卢比 vs 19615 ± 2677.1卢比;MD = -8012.7;降低百分比:40.8%;P = 0.0007)和重组FSH周期(22 459.6 ± 6255.3卢比 vs 33 022.1 ± 9891.2卢比;MD:-10 562;降低百分比:-32%;P = 0.0001)。
在拮抗剂方案中与Gn同时起始使用CC有助于降低刺激成本,且不影响IVF结局。
