Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Women aged 18–44 planning IVF/ICSI with a long luteal GnRH‑agonist protocol, using follitropin delta per the SmPC, and with a recent AMH between 0.3 and 4.9 ng/ml are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Women with AMH values below 0.3 ng/ml or above 4.9 ng/ml, those older than 44, or those using antagonist protocols, alternative stimulation regimens, or different ovulation triggers are unlikely to be helped by the dosing approach studied here.

What this trial studies
REWAG is a non-interventional, real-world observational study conducted at several fertility centers in Germany of roughly 350 women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation with a long luteal GnRH‑agonist protocol. Women receive follitropin delta (Rekovelle) dosed individually according to body weight and AMH as specified in the product information and routine practice. Data collected include stimulation response, oocyte retrieval outcomes, and safety signals such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). The study documents how the individualized dosing algorithm performs in routine clinical practice rather than testing a new drug or experimental procedure.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could better tailor ovarian stimulation to reduce the risk of OHSS while maintaining good egg retrieval and treatment outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: Previous clinical trials and real‑world reports have supported individualized follitropin delta dosing for tailored ovarian stimulation, but published real‑world data specifically in long GnRH‑agonist protocols are more limited.
