study on the safety and pharmacokinetics of lm001 and gonal-f® in healthy women

Conditions: Infertility, Female

Summary: brief summary: lm001 is a recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone (r-hfsh) injection, which is proposed for assisted reproductive technology (art). this is a randomized, open-label, two-period, two-crossover study to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone injection (lm001), compared with gonal-f®, both given subcutaneously.
