Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 42 years
- Women only
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult
Who may be able to join
- Pre-menopausal women between the ages of 18 and 42 years. The subjects must be at least 18 years (including the 18th birthday) and no more than 42 years (up to the day before the 43rd birthday) when they sign the informed consent.
- Infertile women diagnosed with tubal infertility, unexplained infertility, endometriosis stage I/II or with partners diagnosed with male factor infertility, eligible for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using fresh or frozen ejaculated sperm from male partner or sperm donor.
- Infertility for at least 1 year before screening for subjects <35 years or for at least 6 months for subjects ≥35 years (not applicable in case of tubal or severe male factor infertility).
- No more than two controlled ovarian stimulation cycles initiated, regardless outcome (taking exclusion criteria 3, 4, and 5 into account).
- Regular menstrual cycles of 24-35 days (both inclusive), presumed to be ovulatory.
Who cannot join
- Known polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) associated with anovulation or known endometriosis stage III-IV (American Society for Reproductive Medicine, 2012).
- Considered unsuitable for controlled ovarian stimulation with a starting dose of 150 or 225 IU/day highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HP-hMG), as judged by the investigator.
- Poor response in a previous controlled ovarian stimulation cycle using a gonadotropin starting dose of 150 IU/day or higher. Poor response is defined as <4 oocytes retrieved, or cycle cancellation prior to oocyte retrieval due to inadequate follicular development.
- Excessive ovarian response in a previous controlled ovarian stimulation cycle for IVF/ICSI using a daily FSH/hMG dose of ≤225 IU, defined as ≥25 oocytes retrieved or cycle cancellation prior to oocyte retrieval due to excessive ovarian response, including risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
- Severe OHSS in a previous controlled ovarian stimulation cycle.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing FE 999302, Ovitrelle and Novarel in people with Infertility, run by Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 3 sites in Spain.
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 5 inclusion and 5 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jan 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 3 sites in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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?
Number of metaphase II (MII) oocytes (time frame: On the day of oocyte retrieval (2 days after triggering)). 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 9 Jan 2023.
