Participant Flow

A total of 32 investigational sites included participants to the trial : 3 in Belgium, 3 in Brazil, 3 in Canada, 3 in the Czech Republic, 2 in Denmark, 2 in Italy, 2 in Poland, 2 in Russia, 10 in Spain and 2 in United Kingdom.

Participants who participated in Trial 000004 (NCT01956110) (controlled ovarian stimulation \[COS\] cycle 1) \& failed to achieve ongoing pregnancy were eligible for the trial. For COS cycle 2, 520 participants were screened and 513 enrolled. For COS cycle 3, 190 participants were screened and 189 enrolled. Participants were exposed to the same IMP as in COS cycle 1.

FE 999049 (COS Cycle 2)
FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen. The dose was determined based on the ovarian response in COS cycle 1. The daily FE 999049 dose was fixed throughout the stimulation period and maximum allowed daily dose was 18 μg. Dosing continued until the criterion for triggering of final follicular maturation was met. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.
GONAL-F (COS Cycle 2)
Follitropin Alfa (GONAL-F) was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen. The starting dose was determined based on the ovarian response in COS cycle 1. The GONAL-F starting dose was fixed for the first 5 days after which it could be adjusted by 75 international units (IU) based on the individual response. The maximum allowed daily dose was 450 IU. Dosing continued until the criterion for triggering of final follicular maturation was met. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.
FE 999049 (COS Cycle 3)
FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen. The dose was determined based on the ovarian response in COS cycle 2. The daily FE 999049 dose was fixed throughout the stimulation period and maximum allowed daily dose was 24 μg. Dosing continued until the criterion for triggering of final follicular maturation was met. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.
GONAL-F (COS Cycle 3)
GONAL-F was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen. The starting dose was determined based on the ovarian response in COS cycle 2. The GONAL-F starting dose was fixed for the first 5 days after which it could be adjusted by 75 IU based on the individual response. The maximum allowed daily dose was 450 IU. Dosing continued until the criterion for triggering of final follicular maturation was met. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.

FE 999049 (COS Cycle 3)
n=95 participants at risk
FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen. The dose was determined based on the ovarian response in COS cycle 2. The daily FE 999049 dose was fixed throughout the stimulation period and maximum allowed daily dose was 24 μg. Dosing continued until the criterion for triggering of final follicular maturation was met. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.
GONAL-F (COS Cycle 3)
