What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Double triggerDrug
Triptorelin (0.2 mg/S.C ) and HCG (10000 IU/I.M) are administered 38 to 39 h and 35 to 36 h prior to ovum pick-up., respectively.
HCG triggerDrug
HCG (10000 IU/I.M) is administered 35 to 36 h prior to ovum pick-up.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Double trigger | Experimental | GnRH agonist is administered 38 - 39 hours prior to ovum pick-up and HCG is administered 35 - 36 hours prior to ovum pick-up, respectively. Receives: Drug: Double trigger |
| HCG trigger | Active comparator | HCG is administered 35 - 36 h prior to ovum pick-up Receives: Drug: HCG trigger |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Metaphase-II oocytes rate
Number of MII oocyte/ number of cumulus oocyte complex
Measured: Ten to fifteen days after starting ovarian stimulation
Secondary outcomes (2)
Clinical pregnancy rate
Presence of intrauterine gestational sac detected by transvaginal ultrasound
Measured: Five weeks after embryo transfer
Ongoing pregnancy Rate
Pregnancies continued beyond 20 weeks gestation
Measured: Eighteen weeks after embryo transfer

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Double trigger and HCG trigger in people with Infertility, run by Bedaya Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Usama M Fouda, Prof. (+201095401375, umfrfouda@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Metaphase-II oocytes rate (time frame: Ten to fifteen days after starting ovarian stimulation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 May 2026.
