Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Corifollitropin alfa 100 μg

In follow-up study, no medication or investigational product was administered. But in base study P05690 (NCT00702845), participants received single subcutaneous (SC) injection of corifollitropin alfa 100 μg (Org 36286) on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and daily placebo-recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (recFSH) injections (7 total) from Stimulation Day 1 up to and including Stimulation Day 7. Participants in base study P05690 also received open-label recFSH (up to 200 IU/day) from Stimulation Day 8 onwards, up to and including Day of Human Chorion Gonadotropin (hCG) administration.

Participants also received progesterone (at least 600 mg/day vaginally or 50 mg/day IM), starting on day of oocyte pick-up (OPU) and continuing for at least 6 weeks or up to menses.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy (Cumulative Ongoing Pregnancy Rate) [Up to 1 year after embryo transfer in base trial P05690 (NCT00702845), and FTET cycles in follow up study P05711]

      Cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate was defined as 100 times the number of participants with an ongoing pregnancy either immediately after embryo transfer in base study P05690 (NCT00702845) or after one or more FTET cycles in follow up study P05711 following cryopreservation, divided by the total number of subjects that started treatment in base study P05690.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Miscarriage Per Clinical Pregnancy [After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)]

      Miscarriages were calculated per clinical pregnancy, defined as the presence of at least one gestational sac as assessed by USS or Doppler, or confirmed by live birth.

    2. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Miscarriage Per Vital Pregnancy [After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)]

      Miscarriages were calculated per vital pregnancy, defined as the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by USS or Doppler, or confirmed by live birth.

    3. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With an Ecotopic Pregnancy [After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)]

      An ectopic pregnancy is where the embryo implants outside the uterus. Ectopic pregnancies were calculated per total number of participants started in FTET.

    4. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Clinical Pregnancy [After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)]

      A clinical pregnancy is the presence of at least gestational sac or confirmed by live birth. Clinical pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

    5. Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Vital Pregnancy [After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)]

      A vital pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity. Vital pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

    6. Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy [After one or more FTET, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer or at live birth (up to 1 year)]

      An ongoing pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer or confirmed at live birth. Ongoing pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.

Eligible participants from base study were enrolled in follow up study P05711, but no study treatments were given, and embryos obtained in base study underwent FTET cycles. Participants in the reference group in base study P05690 received a single SC injection of placebo-corifollitropin alfa administered on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle and daily SC recFSH 150 IU injections (7 total) from Stimulation Day 1 up to and including Stimulation Day 7. Participants also received open-label recFSH (up to 200 IU/day) from Stimulation Day 8 onwards, up to and including the Day of hCG administration. Participants also received the GnRH antagonist ganirelix (0.25 mg) once daily SC starting on Stimulation Day 5 up to and including the Day of hCG (10,000 or 5,000 IU/USP).

    Title Percentage of Participants in Follow up Study With a Vital Pregnancy
    Description A vital pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity. Vital pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.
    Time Frame After one or more FTET cycles, assessed at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer (up to 1 year)

    Title Percentage of Participants With an Ongoing Pregnancy
    Description An ongoing pregnancy is the presence of at least one fetus with heart activity at least 10 weeks after embryo transfer or confirmed at live birth. Ongoing pregnancies were calculated per attempt, meaning if any stage of IVF treatment was not achieved, zero values were imputed.
