Human chorionic gonadotropin: Novel Delivery Systems and Low-Dose Regimens for Optimized ART Outcomes

  For women with high ovarian reserve (AMH ≥5ng/mL) undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART), balancing follicular yield and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) risk remains a clinical dilemma. Moderate to severe OHSS occurs in 3%-8% of such patients, leading to severe complications like capillary leakage and preeclampsia. While traditional strategies such as GnRH agonist triggering mitigate risks partially, they extend treatment duration and increase costs. A 2025 post-hoc analysis of the MEGASET-HR trial has shed new light on Human Menopausal Gonadotropin, revealing its unique advantage in OHSS prevention for AMH-high populations, offering a more effective solution than recombinant FSH (rFSH).

  Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) has long been a cornerstone of assisted reproductive technology (ART), serving as a critical ovulation trigger and luteal support agent. However, traditional formulations—requiring frequent injections and carrying OHSS risks—have spurred innovation in delivery systems and dosing strategies. Recent advances in long-acting microsphere technology and low-dose protocols are reshaping the clinical application of Human chorionic gonadotropin, enhancing patient compliance, reducing adverse effects, and improving outcomes for challenging cases like recurrent implantation failure (RIF). These innovations position Human chorionic gonadotropin as a more versatile and patient-centric tool in modern ART.

Human chorionic gonadotropin: Novel Delivery Systems and Low-Dose Regimens for Optimized ART Outcomes

  Long-acting PLGA depot microspheres represent a breakthrough in Human chorionic gonadotropin delivery, addressing the compliance issues of conventional formulations. Unlike daily injection regimens, these microspheres encapsulate Human chorionic gonadotropin via a modified double emulsion technique, enabling sustained release over weeks with a single administration. In vitro and in vivo studies confirm spherical, non-porous microspheres with 77.4% ± 5.9% encapsulation efficiency and minimal initial burst release (12.82% ± 2.07%) 1. This controlled release maintains stable hormone levels, eliminating the need for multiple injections while preserving hCG’s bioactivity—critical for patients struggling with treatment adherence or needle anxiety.

  Low-dose Human chorionic gonadotropin regimens have emerged as a game-changer for RIF patients, a group historically facing poor ART success rates. A retrospective study of 93 RIF patients showed that low-dose hCG as luteal phase support significantly improved clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates compared to controls (p=0.004) 2. Functional enrichment analysis linked this efficacy to enhanced endometrial receptivity via pathways like extracellular matrix organization and microtubule cytoskeleton regulation. Additionally, sublingual Human chorionic gonadotropin, as an adjuvant to ovulation induction, correlates with improved endometrial thickness when combined with clomiphene citrate, offering a non-invasive alternative to injectable formulations4.

  Kangyuan is at the forefront of translating these Human chorionic gonadotropin innovations into accessible clinical solutions. Our product portfolio encompasses both high-purity urinary-derived hCG and advanced formulations aligned with modern protocols. We prioritize stable bioactivity and patient-centric design—our injectable formulations support low-dose regimens for RIF patients, while our R&D pipeline explores PLGA microsphere technology to bring long-acting Human chorionic gonadotropin to market. All products adhere to USP, EP, and Chinese Pharmacopoeia standards, with rigorous quality control ensuring consistent efficacy across diverse ART protocols.
