Study groups in NCT00702546
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Corifollitropin alfa 100 μgIn follow-up study, no medication or investigational product was administered. But in base study P05690 (NCT00702845), participants received 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 in base study P05690 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 IM), starting on day of oocyte pick-up (OPU) and continuing for at least 6 weeks or up to menses.
Receives: Drug: corifollitropin alfa; Drug: gonadatropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist ganirelix; Drug: human chorion gonadatropin (hCG); Biological: progesterone; Drug: placebo-recFSH (follitropin alfa); Biological: open-label recFSH
recFSH 150 IUIn this follow-up study, no medication or investigational product was administered. However, in base study P05690 (NCT00702845), participants in the reference group 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. Participants also received open-label recFSH (up to 200 IU/day) from Stimulation Day 8 onwards, up to and including the day of hCG (10,000 or 5,000 IU/USP) administration. Participants also received the GnRH antagonist ganirelix (0.25 mg) once daily SC starting on Stimulation Day 5 up to and including the Day of hCG. Participants also received progesterone (at least 600 mg/day vaginally or 50 mg/day IM), starting on the day of OPU and continuing for at least 6 weeks or up to menses.
Receives: Biological: recFSH (follitropin alfa); Drug: gonadatropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist ganirelix; Drug: human chorion gonadatropin (hCG); Biological: progesterone; Drug: placebo-corifollitropin alfa; Biological: open-label recFSH

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy (Cumulative Ongoing Pregnancy Rate)

    Cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate was defined as 100 times the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy either immediately after embryo transfer in base study P05690 (NCT00702845) or after one or more FTET cycles in follow up study P05711 following cryopreservation, divided by the total number of subjects that started treatment in base study P05690.

    Measured: Up to 1 year after embryo transfer in base trial P05690 (NCT00702845), and FTET cycles in follow up study P05711

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Miscarriage Per Clinical Pregnancy

    Miscarriages were calculated per clinical pregnancy, defined as the presence of at least one gestational sac as assessed by USS or Doppler, or confirmed by live birth.

    Measured: After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

  2. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Miscarriage Per Vital Pregnancy

    Miscarriages were calculated per vital pregnancy, defined as the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by USS or Doppler, or confirmed by live birth.

    Measured: After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

  3. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With an Ecotopic Pregnancy

    An ectopic pregnancy is where the embryo implants outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies were calculated per total number of participants started in FTET.

    Measured: After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

  4. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Clinical Pregnancy

    A clinical pregnancy is the presence of at least gestational sac or confirmed by live birth. Clinical pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

    Measured: After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

  5. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Vital Pregnancy

    A vital pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity. Vital pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

    Measured: After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

  6. Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy

    An ongoing pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer or confirmed at live birth. Ongoing pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

    Measured: After one or more FTET, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer or at live birth (up to 1 year)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of In Vitro Fertilization, run by Organon and Co.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy (Cumulative Ongoing Pregnancy Rate) (time frame: Up to 1 year after embryo transfer in base trial P05690 (NCT00702845), and FTET cycles in follow up study P05711). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Feb 2022.
