Trial Outcomes & Findings for To Investigate Efficacy and Safety of a Single Injection of Org 36286 for Ovarian Stimulation Using Daily Recombinant FSH as Reference (Ensure)(P05690/MK-8962-001) (NCT NCT00702845)

NCT ID: NCT00702845

Last Updated: 2024-06-18

Results Overview

The primary efficacy parameter was defined as the number of cumulus-oocyte-complexes retrieved from participants in a controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) cycle for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). For participants who did not have cumulus-oocyte-complex retrieval, the number retrieved was set to zero.

Measure
100 μg Corifollitropin Alfa
Participants received a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of corifollitropin alfa 100 μg (Org 36286) on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and daily placebo-recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (recFSH) injections (7 total) from Stimulation Day 1 up to and including Stimulation Day 7. Participants also received open-label recFSH (up to 200 IU/day) from Stimulation Day 8 onwards, up to and including Day of Human Chorion Gonadotropin (hCG) administration. Participants also received Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) antagonist ganirelix (0.25 mg) once daily SC starting on Stimulation Day 5 up to and including the Day of hCG (10,000 or 5,000 IU/USP). Participants also received progesterone (at least 600 mg/day vaginally or 50 mg/day by intramuscular \[IM\] injection), starting on day of oocyte pick-up (OPU) and continuing for at least 6 weeks or up to menses.

Participants received a single SC injection of placebo-corifollitropin alfa administered on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and daily SC recFSH 150 IU injections (7 total) from Stimulation Day 1 up to and including Stimulation Day 7.

A Biochemical Pregnancy was defined as a pregnancy proven by a biochemical pregnancy test. (Participants not having a positive biochemical pregnancy test result, but with an ultrasound showing at least one gestational sac were counted as having a biochemical pregnancy.) A Clinical Pregnancy was defined as the presence of at least one gestational sac as assessed by an USS scan. A Vital Pregnancy was considered the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by USS. An Ongoing Pregnancy was defined as the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity at least 10 weeks after ET as assessed by USS or Doppler, or confirmed by live birth.
