Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18–40 having their first IVF/ICSI cycle with regular cycles, both ovaries present, early follicular FSH <10 IU/L, an antagonist protocol prescribed, and infertility due to unexplained, tubal, mild endometriosis (I/II), or male factor are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Women at high risk of OHSS (AMH ≥35 pmol/L), with endometriosis stage III/IV, those undergoing oocyte donation, BMI >40 kg/m2, significant renal/hepatic impairment, or prior recurrent miscarriages are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional trial gives women personalized starting doses of follitropin delta (Rekovelle) plus HP‑hMG (Menopur) based on age and body weight during an antagonist IVF protocol. Participants are closely monitored with serial transvaginal ultrasounds and blood tests (including estradiol) through stimulation, followed by standard egg retrieval, fertilization, and embryo assessment. Results will be compared to outcomes reported in the MARCS study to determine whether age/weight dosing produces similar oocyte yield and early embryo development. Safety monitoring includes tracking ovarian hyperstimulation risk and adverse events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could allow clinics that do not routinely use AMH to deliver comparable IVF stimulation results using simpler age-and-weight dosing.
How similar studies have gone: Prior trials such as ESTHER-1 validated AMH-based Rekovelle dosing, MARCS found added benefit when combining Rekovelle with Menopur, and RITA-1/2 provided preliminary support for age/weight dosing, so this approach builds on existing promising data.
