The mean ± SD number of oocytes retrieved per started cycle was 13.3 ± 7.3 for corifollitropin alfa versus 10.6 ± 5.9 for rFSH. The estimated treatment difference of +2.5 oocytes (95% CI 1.2-3.9) in favour of corifollitropin alfa (P < 0.001) was well within the predefined equivalence margin. The median (range) duration of stimulation was 9 (6-15) days in both groups. In 32.8% of the patients, one injection of corifollitropin alfa was sufficient to reach the human chorionic gonadotrophin criterion. The incidence of moderate and severe ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome was 3.4% for corifollitropin alfa and 1.6% for rFSH. A dose of 100 μg corifollitropin alfa offers a simplified treatment option for potential normal responder patients with a lower body weight. ? 2010, Reproductive Healthcare Ltd.
