Progestin primed ovarian stimulation using corifollitropin alfa in PCOS women effectively prevents LH surge and reduces injection burden compared to GnRH antagonist protocol

Abstract: Utilizing corifollitropin alfa in GnRH antagonist (GnRHant) protocol in conjunction with GnRH agonist trigger/freeze-all strategy (corifollitropin alfa/GnRHant protocol) was reported to have satisfactory outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Although lessening in gonadotropin injections, GnRHant were still needed. In addition to using corifollitropin alfa, GnRHant was replaced with an oral progestin as in progestin primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) to further reduce the injection burden in t… Show more

“…The sums of follicles with diameters of 10-12 mm and 12-14 mm were comparable across the two groups. The study group had a substantial reduction in the sum of follicles with a diameter of 14-16 mm (2 [0, 6] vs. 3 [1,6], P <.05) but significantly higher number of follicles larger than 16 mm when compared with the control group (10.5 [7,18] vs. 8 [4,11], P <.05) (Table 2). Consistent with the above results, FORT was substantially elevated in the study group compared with the control group (61% [35%, 86%] vs. 40% [25%, 60%], P <.01).…”

“…As an alternative to standard GnRH analogues, progestinprimed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) by administering human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) simultaneously from the early follicular phase successfully inhibits the oestradiol (E2)-induced LH surge (4). The PPOS protocol could achieve similar numbers of oocytes, viable embryos, and pregnancy outcomes (5); moreover, it is more patient-friendly, as it can further reduce the injection burden compare with the conventional GnRH analogue protocol (6).…”

“…We included three RCTs ( 15 , 16 , 33 ) and six retrospective cohort studies ( 11 , 17 , 29 32 ) involving 2289 women. Most included studies were conducted in China ( 11 , 15 , 17 , 30 33 ), and the others were in Japan ( 29 ) and Iran ( 16 ). The average age of women was 28-34 years old.…”

“…Four studies ( 15 , 17 , 31 , 32 ) applied medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) as the oral progestin in the PPOS group; two used GnRH-a short protocol in the control group, and the other two used GnRH antagonist protocol. Three studies ( 16 , 29 , 30 ) used dydrogesterone in the PPOS group, with GnRH antagonist protocol in all control groups. The remaining two studies ( 11 , 33 ) used Utrogestan as the oral progestin, either GnRH-a short protocol or GnRH antagonist protocol in the control group.…”

“…In that way, progestin-primed protocols have been studied in the last years, including oral medroxyprogesterone acetate or dydrogesterone, with satisfactory outcomes, but limited to freeze-all cycles. 33 34 35 36 Women at risk for a hyper-response, such as those with a history of OHSS, with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or with a high antral follicle count (> 19), remain to compose the group for whom corifollitropin alfa should be avoided. 3 Nevertheless, small observational studies have been demonstrating the feasibility of corifollitropin alfa use in PCOS, if the GnRH antagonist protocol is combined with GnRH agonist triggering and total embryo cryopreservation.…”
