About this study

The PPOS protocol (Progestin-primed Ovarian Stimulation) involves avoiding ovulation during ovarian stimulation with progesterone. It is a reliable and safe protocol that has been widely used in recent years for in vitro fertilization, as it reduces the number of injections needed during controlled ovarian stimulation and is more cost-effective for patients.

The aim of this study is to compare two methods of ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization: the PPOS protocol (Group A) and the conventional protocol with injected antagonists (Group B). The goal is to determine whether both methods are equally effective in obtaining euploid embryos in the context of double ovarian stimulation.

Read the detailed description

Hypothesis:

Hypothesis: The number of euploid embryos obtained in a DUOSTIM cycle with PPOS is not inferior to that obtained with the use of antagonists.

General and Specific Objectives

Main Objective: To study if there is a difference in the number of euploid embryos obtained in two groups of patients undergoing embryo accumulation for PGT-A through double ovarian stimulation, comparing two methods of pituitary suppression: Progesterone use from the start of stimulation and the use of GnRH antagonists.

Secondary Objectives:

Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the number of MII oocytes.

Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the number of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COC).

Study the differences between both groups regarding the total consumption of gonadotropins.

Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the number of stimulation days.

Evaluate if there are differences in fertilization rate after microinjection. Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the cancellation rate.

Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the number of total embryos.

Evaluate if there are differences between both groups regarding the number of embryos subjected to trophectoderm biopsy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • GanirelixDrug

    Ganirelix is a GnRH antagonist, which modulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis by competitively binding to GnRH receptors in the pituitary gland. Consequently, there is a reversible, intense, and rapid suppression of endogenous gonadotropin release. Ganirelix is indicated for the prevention of premature luteinizing hormone (LH) surges in women undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) for assisted reproductive techniques (ART).

  • Medroxyprogesterone Acetate 10 MGDrug

    Medroxyprogesterone acetate is a synthetic progestin (structurally related to progesterone) with antiestrogenic, antiandrogenic, and antigonadotropic action. It inhibits pituitary gonadotropins (FSH and LH) with consequent inhibition of follicular maturation and ovulation . Medroxyprogesterone acetate is active orally and parenterally, 15 times more potent than progesterone. In addition to inhibiting ovulation, progestins also act on the endometrium preventing implantation and increasing the viscosity of cervical mucus, which hinders sperm progression in the uterus. It also transforms a proliferative endometrium into a secretory endometrium, provided that the woman has adequate endogenous estrogen levels.

Model description
This is a prospective, randomized non-inferiority study. There will be two groups of patients: Patients in Group A (PPOS protocol - study group) will start controlled ovarian stimulation with the administration of FSHr gonadotropin at doses between 225 IU-300 IU/day (depending on patient characteristics) + 10 mg medroxyprogesterone/day (IMP). Patients in Group B (Short protocol with GnRH antagonists - control group) will start controlled ovarian stimulation with the administration of FSHr gonadotropin at doses between 225 IU-300 IU/day (depending on patient characteristics) and will add treatment with a GnRH antagonist at a dose of 0.25 mg/day from the 6th day of stimulation or when a follicle with a size equal to or greater than 14 mm is present. Once the two stimulations typical of the DuoStim strategy are completed, the results obtained in both groups will be compared.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Oct 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Claudia Blancafort González-Casabón, MD (+34647437121, c.blancafort@ginefiv.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Euploid Embryos (time frame: From date of randomization until the end of the treatment. Assessed up to 12 weeks.). 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 NCT06637189, which also lists 6 linked publications.

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 Oct 2024.
