About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Open Label, Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Clinical Trial to Investigate the Appropriate Dose of a Single Injection of Org 36286 (Corifollitropin Alfa) to Initiate Multiple Follicular Growth in a Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation Protocol for IVF or IVF/ICSI.

The primary objective of this trial was to investigate the appropriate dose of a single injection of Org 36286 to initiate multifollicular growth for the first seven days in a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol for IVF and IVF/ICSI. After seven days, participants were converted to treatment with Puregon® 150 IU and administration of the GnRH antagonist Orgalutran® to finalize the stimulation cycle. Secondary objectives were the safety (including the absence of antibody formation) and the direct effects of Org 36286 on reproductive functions (steroidogenesis, oocyte maturation, embryo quality and implantation).

Read the detailed description

This trial was made up of two stages with different designs and was conducted at two clinical trial sites. Stage I was open-label and uncontrolled in a small cohort of women (n=6) to obtain first experience in employing Org 36286 in women meeting all inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria. Based on the results of a previous study, the most appropriate dose was anticipated to be 120 μg Org 36286, which was administered on Cycle Day 2 or 3. After seven days, treatment was continued with a fixed dose of 150 IU Puregon® SC. If the size of the leading follicle was >=14 mm, 0.25 mg Orgalutran® SC once daily was administered concurrently with 150 IU Puregon® up to and including the day of hCG. The maximum total treatment duration was 19 days. Treatment of the first two participants with Org 36286 120 μg, that was expected to be adequate for COH, was cancelled due to disrupted follicular growth beyond Day 7. Therefore, the dose of Org 36286 was adapted from 120 μg to 180 µg. Treatment of the first participants gave an indication of the validity of the anticipated doses to be used in Stage II, the actual dose-finding trial. Stage II was open-label, prospective and randomized, comparing three experimental regimens differing in dose of Org 36286 (120 μg, 180 μg, or 240 μg) with a reference treatment. Post-treatment assessments were completed at the visit two weeks after embryo transfer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Org 36286, Puregon® and Orgalutran® in people with Infertility and 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 4 inclusion and 12 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 15 Aug 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Median Puregon® Dose (IU) Required To Reach Criteria for Administration of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) For Induction of Final Oocyte Maturation (time frame: Day 8 Up to End of Menstrual Cycle). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00702806, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Aug 2024.
