NCT00702234

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to evaluate whether corifollitropin alfa (Org 36286) treatment for the induction of multifollicular growth in women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is safe for pregnant participants and their offspring. In addition, a primary efficacy variable, live birth rate, was evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Percentage of Women With Ongoing Pregnancy After a Corifollitropin Alfa COS Cycle in Base Study and ≥1 Live Born Infant During Follow-up (Live Birth Rate)

    The live birth rate was defined as the number of participants who had an ongoing pregnancy after a corifollitropin alfa COS cycle in base study P05714 (NCT00696878) and who had at least one live born infant during follow-up, divided by the number of participants treated in the base study. For this analysis, it was assumed that any participants with ongoing pregnancy after a COS cycle in base study who did not enroll in follow-up study P05715 had no live born infants.

    Up to approximately 32 months after first dose of corifollitropin alfa in base study P05714 (NCT00696878)

  • Number of Expectant Mothers Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    From approximately 10 weeks after fresh ET in base study P05714 up to birth of infant (up to approximately 6 months)

  • Number of Expectant Mothers Experiencing Serious AEs (SAEs)

    An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    From approximately 10 weeks after fresh ET in base study P05714 up to birth of infant (up to approximately 6 months)

  • Number of Live Born Infants Experiencing AEs

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

    Up to 12 weeks after birth

  • Number of Live Born Infants Experiencing SAEs

    An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Up to 12 weeks after birth

Study Arms (1)

Women/Expectant Mothers - Corifollitropin Alfa 150 µg

In base study P05714 (NCT00696878), up to 3 COS cycles were performed, each including the following: A single injection of 150 µg corifollitropin alfa was administered on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle (Stimulation Day 1). Administration of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) antagonist (0.25 mg/day) started on Stimulation Day 5 or 6 and continued through day of administration of recombinant Human Chorion Gonadotropin (\[rec\]hCG) (5,000-10,000 IU/250 µg). Daily dosing with Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (not to exceed 225 IU/day) began on Stimulation Day 8 and continued up to day of (rec)hCG administration. Progesterone was administered for luteal phase support. After COS cycles 1 and 2, Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer cycles (up to 3 after each COS cycle) could occur. Participants with confirmed pregnancy at least 10 weeks after fresh embryo transfer in the base study were eligible for this follow-up study. In this follow-up study P05715, no study drugs were administered.
