Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a subcutaneous catheter is a feasible option for controlled ovarian stimulation in IVF, as it would be less physically and emotionally burdensome for patients and their partners than daily or twice daily injections.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 18 to 45 who are undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. There are no specific exclusion criteria mentioned, so it appears open to all women within this age range and treatment category.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the use of the Neria™ Guard Subcutaneous Catheter during IVF treatments. The goal is to see if using this catheter can make taking medications easier and less stressful compared to daily injections typically used in these procedures.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed, subcutaneous catheters may cause local skin reactions, discomfort at the insertion site, or infections. However, since this is a feasibility study, part of its purpose will be to document any potential side effects.
