NCT00703014

Brief Summary

The objective of this trial was to evaluate whether Corifollitropin Alfa 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) was safe for pregnant participants and their offspring. The primary endpoint was the take-home baby rate calculated as the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy in Base Trial P05787 (NCT00696800) with at least one live born infant relative to the number of participants in the Base Trial, and to the number of participants in the Base Trial with Embryo Transfer (ET).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Number of Mothers in Current Follow Up Trial Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a trial participant administered a pharmaceutical product, and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product.

    Up to one day following delivery (up to 1 year)

  • Number of Mothers in Current Follow Up Trial Experiencing Serious AEs (SAEs)

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

    Up to one day following delivery (up to 1 year)

  • Number of Infants Born in Current Follow Up Trial Experiencing AEs

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a trial participant administered a pharmaceutical product, and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of investigational medicinal product.

    Up to 12 weeks following delivery (up to 1 year)

  • Number of Infants in Current Follow Up Trial Experiencing SAEs

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

    Up to 12 weeks following delivery (up to 1 year)

  • Percentage of Mothers From the Base Trial P05787 With at Least One Live Born Infant (Take-home Baby Rate) Relative to the Number of Participants in the Base Trial.

    The take-home baby rate is 100 X the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy in Base Trial P05787 (NCT00696800), from the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) group, with at least one live born infant relative to the number of participants in the Base Trial.

    At least 10 weeks after embryo transfer in Base Trial P05787 up to birth in current follow up Trial (up to 1 year)

  • Percentage of Mothers From the Base Trial P05787 With at Least One Live Born Infant (Take-home Baby Rate) Relative to the Number of Participants From the Base Trial With Embryo Transfer.

    The take-home baby rate is 100 X the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy in Base Trial P05787 (NCT00696800), from the ITT group, with at least one live born infant relative to the number of participants from the Base Trial with embryo transfer.

    At least 10 weeks after embryo transfer in Base Trial P05787 up to birth in current Follow Up Trial (up to 1 year)

Study Arms (2)

Mothers Corifollitropin Alfa 150 µg

Participants from the Base Trial P05787 who received a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of 150 µg Corifollitropin Alfa on day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle (Stimulation Day 1); 7 daily SC injections from Stimulation Days 1 to 7 with placebo-recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (recFSH); followed by daily SC injections with 200 IU recFSH up to the day of human chorionogonadotropin (hCG); multiple daily SC injections of Ganirelix from Stimulation Day 5 to the day of hCG; a single dose of hCG (5000 or 10,000 IU/USP) was administered when 3 follicles \>= 17 mm were observed; and on the day of oocyte pick up (OPU) daily doses of progesterone were started and continued for up to 6 weeks or menses.
