Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Use of the algorithm-based individualized dosing regimen (daily dose of REKOVELLE® administered)Up to day 1 of REKOVELLE® stimulation

Calculated with body weight and AMH serum level to define the daily dose of REKOVELLE®

Daily dose of REKOVELLE®From day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation
REKOVELLE® Dose changesFrom day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation

Dose changes is the discretion of the investigator

Use of GnRH protocol for Lutenizing Hormone surge suppressionUp to day 10

Defined as a choice between GnRH agonist and GnRH antagonist

Number of days of treatment with REKOVELLE®From day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation
Use of the Algorithm dosing ApplicationUp to day 1 of REKOVELLE® stimulation

Use of the Ferring developed dosing app for the daily dose calculation by answering yes/no

Type of drug used for triggering of follicle maturationBetween Day 8 and Day 14

Defined as a choice between hCG or GnRH

Luteal phase support24-72 hours after oocyte-retrieval

Type and the length of luteal phase support is the discretion of the investigator.

Decided as a choice between Progesterone, Oestrogen and hCG

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of oocytes retrievedFollowing 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) at 34-36 hours
Rate of ongoing pregnancy (≥1 intrauterine viable fetus 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer) in the fresh cycle10-11 weeks after embryo transfer
Positive signs of pregnancy (clinical pregnancy)Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) Up to 5-6 weeks after embryo transfer

Clinical pregnancy defined as least one gestational sac.

Positive signs of pregnancy (Positive Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test or urine pregnancy test)Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer
Pregnancy loss in women with embryo/blastocyst transfer (biochemical pregnancy, spontaneous/elective abortion, ectopic pregnancy, vanishing twin)Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer

Biochemical pregnancy is defined as positive beta hCG (βhCG) test but no gestational sac is observed on later transvaginal ultrasound, or menstruation is reported.

Spontaneous abortion is defined as positive βhCG test but all intrauterine gestational sacs without fetal heart beat as documented by ultrasound, or there are no viable fetuses observed by ultrasound.

Elective abortion is defined as induced abortion done at the request of the woman for other than therapeutic reasons.

Ectopic pregnancy is defined as extrauterine gestational sac with or without fetal heart beat as documented by ultrasound or surgery.

Vanishing twin is defined as spontaneous disappearance of an intrauterine gestational sac with or without heart beat in a pregnancy where one viable fetus remains as documented by ultrasound.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs)During 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer.

Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) defined by the investigator

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (including mild/moderate/severe)During 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer.

OHSS defined by the investigator (including mild/moderate/severe)

Rate of ongoing pregnancy (≥1 intrauterine viable fetus 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer) following the fresh cycle, including also the first frozen embryo transfer10-11 weeks after embryo transfer
Number of oocytes/embryos/blastocysts frozenFollowing 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) after oocyte retrieval
Quality of fresh embryos or blastocysts transferred (excellent, good, fair, other)Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) after oocyte retrieval
Cycle cancellation before or after oocyte pick-up and reason for cycle cancellationAt consultation visit where cycle cancellation decided up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer

Date when the investigator decides to cancel cycle before oocyte pick up (due to poor ovarian response, excessive ovarian response, any illness which prevents oocyte collection procedure, subject not taking hCG injection at the correct time, subject choice, other) or after oocyte pick-up (due to no oocytes collected, no oocytes fertilized, abnormal fertilization, abnormal embryo development, no embryo development, OHSS, subject choice, other)

Assessment of overall subject experience and convenience with REKOVELLE® by the Subject Questionnaire (assessed by the subject)34-36 hours after final injection of 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (average 9 days)
Number of embryos/blastocysts transferredFollowing 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) after oocyte retrieval
Preventive interventions for early OHSSDuring 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer.

Preventive interventions decided by the investigator (Triggering of final follicular maturation with GnRH agonist and fresh embryo/blastocyst transfer or cryopreservation, Cancellation of fresh embryo/blastocyst transfer)
