Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Using Recombinant Human Luteinizing Hormone (r-hLH, Luveris®) in the Treatment of Chinese Women With Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism (NCT NCT01084265)

NCT ID: NCT01084265

Last Updated: 2013-12-27

Results Overview

The three indices were defined as; Index 1: diameter of at least one follicle is greater than 17 mm; Index 2: serum oestradiol (E2) level in blood serum above 109 picogram/ milliliter (pg/mL) on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day; Index 3: participant refuses to take hCG injection for the concern of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) or participant is pregnant. A subset of these participants met Index 3.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to Day 14

Population: Per protocol set included all participants who completely met all the requirements of clinical trial protocol.

The average change was calculated by assessing the E2 levels on 4 timepoints until day 14 (day 1, day 5, day 10, day 14 \[hCG administration day\]).

Biochemical pregnancy was defined as a pregnancy diagnosed only by the detection of hCG in serum or urine and that does not develop into a clinical pregnancy. Clinical pregnancy was defined as a pregnancy diagnosed by ultrasonographic visualization of one or more gestational sacs or definitive clinical signs of pregnancy. It includes ectopic pregnancy.
