Objectives: Infertility imposes considerable clinical and economic burden, and the high costs of fertility care are a major barrier to payers. This study assessed the cost differences of highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HP-hMG) versus recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (rFSH) for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) protocols in predicted high-responders from the US payer perspective.
Methods: A discrete event simulation model was built to perform a cost-comparison analysis of HP-hMG versus rFSH in a cohort of predicted high-responders undergoing up to three embryo transfer cycles, informed by efficacy data from the MEGASET-HR trial.

Background: Endometriosis is a debilitating disease typically characterized by prolific fibrotic scarring. Earlier we reported downregulation of two transcription factors belonging TGF-βR signaling pathway Sp/Krüppel-like factor 11 (KLF11) and 10 (KLF10) in human endometriosis lesions. Here we investigated the role of these nuclear factors and immunity in the scaring fibrosis associated with endometriosis.

Methods: We used individual data from women who participated in four different clinical trials and were high responders to ovarian stimulation in a GnRH antagonist protocol in this retrospective combined analysis. All women were evaluated for signs and symptoms of OHSS using identical criteria based on Golan's system (1989).
