Recombinant HCG vs Triptorelin Acetate Which Trigger Offers Superior Oocyte Maturity in IVF Cycles

Introduction:

Comparative Evaluation of Ovulation Triggers

This prospective randomized trial included 100 subfertile women aged 21–35 years undergoing ICSI. Participants were divided equally into two groups receiving either recombinant HCG or Triptorelin acetate as ovulation triggers. The aim was to determine which method yielded a higher percentage of mature (Metaphase II) oocytes.

Key Findings

  • Metaphase II (M2) Oocytes: Triptorelin acetate yielded significantly more M2 oocytes than recombinant HCG.
  • Follicle Count: Triptorelin acetate was associated with a higher number of follicles ≥10 mm.
  • Hormonal Profile: Patients triggered with Triptorelin acetate had higher AMH and serum estradiol levels.
  • Safety: Both triggers demonstrated comparable safety profiles and timing for oocyte retrieval.

Conclusion

While both recombinant HCG and Triptorelin acetate are effective in inducing final oocyte maturation, Triptorelin acetate may offer superior outcomes in terms of the number and quality of mature oocytes. This study supports the use of GnRH agonist triggers, particularly for patients undergoing antagonist ICSI cycles.
