Registration Number
NCT02554279
Lead Sponsor
Ferring Pharmaceuticals

Inclusion Criteria
  • Females aged 21 to 35 years with regular ovulatory menstrual cycles of 21 to 45 days, with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 18 and 30 kg/m2 who desire pregnancy.
  • Subjects must be high responders, defined as subjects who have a serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) ≥5 ng/mL at screening.
  • Documented history of infertility (e.g., unable to conceive for at least 12 months or for at least 6 months if receiving donor sperm) with a Day 2 or Day 3 serum FSH level between 1 and 12 IU/L (inclusive), the results of which should be obtained within 6 months prior to randomization.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Known stage III-IV endometriosis (American Society for Reproductive Medicine, 2012).
  • History of recurrent miscarriage not followed by a live birth (recurrent is defined as two (2) or more consecutive miscarriages).
  • Previous in vitro fertilization (IVF) or assisted reproductive technology (ART) failure due to a poor response to gonadotropins. Poor response is defined as development of ≤2 mature follicles or history of 2 previous failed cycle cancellations prior to oocytes retrieval due to poor response.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Ongoing Pregnancy Rate8-9 weeks after blastocyst transfer in the fresh cycle

Defined as the percentage of participants with the presence of at least 1 intrauterine pregnancy with a detectable fetal heartbeat at 10-11 weeks of gestation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Positive β-human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) RateFirst test approximately 10-14 days after blastocyst transfer in the fresh cycle, with a second test approximately 2 days later if first test was positive

Defined as the percentage of participants with 2 positive β-hCG tests within 2 days in serum.

Clinical Pregnancy Rate4-5 weeks after blastocyst transfer in the fresh cycle

Defined as percentage of participants with transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) showing at least 1 intrauterine gestational sac with fetal heart beat at 6-7 weeks of gestation.

Follicular Development as Assessed by TVUSOn stimulation Day 6 and last day of stimulation (a maximum of 20 stimulation days)

Defined as percentage of participants with follicles having a diameter of ≤9 mm, 10-11 mm, 12-14 mm, 15-16 mm, and ≥17 mm.

Quality of Embryos3 days after oocyte retrieval

Assessed by cleavage stage.

Early Pregnancy LossAt 10-11 weeks of gestation in the fresh cycle

Defined as participants with 2 positive β-hCG tests but no ongoing pregnancy at 10-11 weeks of gestation in the fresh cycle. Percentage of participants with early pregnancy loss is presented.

Number of Oocytes RetrievedAt oocyte retrieval visit (approximately 36 hours after hCG administration)
Number of Metaphase II OocytesAt oocyte retrieval visit (approximately 36 hours after hCG administration)
Quality of Blastocysts5 days after oocyte retrieval

Assessed by blastocyst expansion and hatching status, blastocyst inner cell mass grading, and trophectoderm grading. The scoring was based on the classification system by Gardner and Schoolcraft, with additional categories for inner cell mass (degenerative or no inner cell mass) and trophectoderm (degenerative or very large cell).

Fertilization RateOn day 1 post-insemination

Defined as 100 times the ratio of number of fertilized 2 pronuclei oocytes to the number of oocytes retrieved, for each participant.
