Clinical trials

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy and safety of extended letrozole therapy (5 mg/day for 10 days) versus standard letrozole therapy (5 mg/day for 5 days) for ovulation induction in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). A total of 84 women aged 18-40 years will be randomized into two groups. Ovulation will be monitored by transvaginal ultrasound and confirmed with urinary LH testing and/or corpus luteum presence. The primary outcome is ovulation rate, while secondary outcomes include number and size of mature follicles, clinical pregnancy rate, multiple pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, number of cycles until pregnancy, and incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
