Clinical trial at InVia Fertility lowers cost of IVF

cost of ivf lowered at InVia clinical trial [April 24, 2015: This clinical trial is no longer open.] 

Patients with infertility that require in vitro fertilization (IVF) now have an opportunity to enroll in a clinical trial that lowers the cost of IVF.

Enrollment has begun for a research study (A Phase III Study to Compare Efficacy and Safety of AFOLIA vs. Gonal-F in Infertile Women 35 to 42 Years of Age Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) (FIN3002)), which aims to examine the efficacy of a generic form of ovarian stimulation medication for IVF.

 Patients who qualify for this study will be eligible to undergo up to three IVF cycles for a fraction of the regular price, and will receive the majority of their medication at no cost, dramatically lowering the cost of IVF at our Chicago-area clinics. The study is sponsored by Finox Pharmaceuticals, a Swiss biotech company focused on fertility products. The generic medication that will be used in the study has already been approved in Europe.
