All Clinical Trials for CLOMID

Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT00296465 ↗ A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Three Dosage Strengths of Pulsatile GnRH Completed Ferring Pharmaceuticals Phase 2/Phase 3 2005-02-01 This study will be performed in approximately 132 women with anovulatory/oligoovulatory infertility.
NCT00427700 ↗ Induction of Ovulation With Raloxifene or Clomiphene Citrate in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Completed Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre Phase 3 2008-08-01 The Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is a common disorder related to ovulation problems. Clomiphene citrate (CC) is the drug of first choice for this condition. Nevertheless, CC has a detrimental effect over uterine receptivity. Raloxifene is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator, that does not have a detrimental effect over the endometrium, and also increase the serum levels of FSH, thus, inducting ovulation. The objective of this study is to compare the ovulation rate in PCOS patients between clomiphene citrate and raloxifene in a double blind randomized trial.
NCT00719186 ↗ Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome II Completed Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Phase 3 2009-02-01 The primary research hypothesis is that ovulation induction with an aromatase inhibitor (letrozole) is more likely to result in live birth than ovulation induction with a selective estrogen receptor modulator (clomiphene citrate) in infertile women with PCOS. A safety hypothesis will also be incorporated into the primary research hypothesis in which we hypothesize both treatments are equally safe for mother and child. Secondary research hypotheses include: 1. Treatment with letrozole is more likely to result in singleton pregnancy compared to treatment with clomiphene citrate. Singleton pregnancy is defined as presence of a single intrauterine gestational sac with a single fetal pole and observable heart motion. 2. Treatment with letrozole will less likely result in a first trimester intrauterine fetal demise than treatment with clomiphene citrate. A first trimester IUFD is defined as a pregnancy that ends before 13 weeks gestation. 3. Treatment with letrozole is more likely to result in ovulation (increased ovulation rate) compared to treatment with clomiphene citrate. Ovulation is defined as a midluteal progesterone level ≥ 3 ng/mL. 4. The shortest time to pregnancy will be with letrozole. 5. Age, body mass index, SHBG, testosterone, LH, Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH), and degree of hirsutism and acne will be significant predictors of ovulation and conception regardless of treatment. 6. Improvement in SHBG, testosterone, AMH, and LH levels will be significant predictors of ovulation and conception regardless of treatment. 7. DNA polymorphisms in estrogen action genes will predict response to study drug. 8. Quality of Life will be better on letrozole than clomiphene. 9. Letrozole will be more cost effective at achieving singleton pregnancies than clomiphene.

CLOMID Market Analysis and Financial Projection

Last updated: February 8, 2026

What Is the Current Status of Clinical Trials for Clomid?

Clomid (clomiphene citrate) is a well-established drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1967 for infertility treatment. Its primary use is to induce ovulation in women with anovulation or irregular ovulation. The drug's patent expired decades ago, which means it is now available as a generic medication. This limits the number of ongoing innovative clinical trials related to the drug itself; most recent research evaluates expanded indications, combinations, or alternative delivery methods.

Ongoing Clinical Trials:

  • As of Q1 2023, registered clinical trials related to Clomid focus on combinations with other fertility drugs or novel treatment approaches for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
  • No new large-scale, phase III trials are active or recruiting for the original indication.
  • ClinicalTrials.gov lists fewer than 10 active studies involving Clomid, primarily observational or open-label studies assessing safety profiles, adverse effects, or efficacy in specific patient subsets.

Legal and Regulatory Landscape:

  • Clomid remains off-patent, with no recent FDA submissions for new indications or formulations.
  • Off-label use persists, especially in treating male infertility or hormonal disorders, but such applications lack formal FDA approval and extensive trial support.

What Is the Market Size and Dynamics for Clomid?

Market Overview:

  • The global infertility treatment market was valued at USD 4.55 billion in 2022. Clomid accounts for approximately 40% of the ovulation induction segment, valued around USD 1.8 billion.
  • The drug is available as a generic, which constrains pricing and profit margins.

Market Drivers:

  • Aging populations and delayed childbearing increase demand for ovulation induction therapies.
  • Rising awareness of infertility and accessibility of treatment contribute to market growth.
  • Off-label uses in male infertility and hormonal imbalance treatments sustain demand.

Market Constraints:

  • Competition from branded alternatives such as Letrozole and Gonadotropins.
  • Evolving regulations about fertility treatments and insurance coverage limitations.
  • The availability of newer pharmaceuticals with potential clinical advantages.

Regional Breakdown:

  • North America led the market in 2022, driven by high IVF adoption rates and awareness.
  • Europe follows, with a steady increase in outpatient fertility treatments.
  • Asia Pacific demonstrates fast growth owing to increasing healthcare infrastructure and societal shifts favoring fertility treatments.

  • Expanded indications, such as treatment of hormonal imbalances in men or adolescents, though FDA approval here remains unlikely due to the drug's age.

Regulatory pathways for supplemental approvals are complex; given the drug's patent status and established safety profile, the focus remains on market maintenance rather than innovation.

Key Takeaways

  • Clomid is a long-established, off-patent fertility drug with minimal recent clinical trial activity.
  • The market is stable, with incremental growth driven by demographic shifts and awareness.
  • Competition from newer agents like Letrozole influences market share.
  • Future growth hinges on combination therapies, regional market expansion, and evolving reproductive health policies.
  • Clinical development initiatives are primarily related to optimizing existing uses, with little indication of new, high-profile trials.

FAQs

1. Are there any new formulations of Clomid in development?
No; current development efforts focus on combination therapies or alternative delivery methods, but no new formulations are in advanced clinical trials.

2. What are competing drugs to Clomid?
Letrozole primarily competes for ovulation induction, especially in cases resistant to Clomid. Gonadotropins are used in more complex cases.

3. How does patent expiration affect market dynamics?
Patent expiry resulted in reduced pricing, increased generic competition, and limited incentives for innovation, stabilizing the market share for Clomid.

4. Are there regulatory challenges affecting Clomid's market?
Regulatory challenges are minimal, given the drug's longstanding approval; however, off-label uses are not FDA-approved, which can limit prescriber confidence.

5. What trends could influence the future market for Clomid?
Emerging markets' growth, changing societal attitudes toward fertility, and advancements in reproductive medicine could affect demand.
