Summary

This is a Phase 3, randomized, controlled, single-blind, multicenter, parallel-arm trial to assess the safety and efficacy of Pergoveris® (recombinant human follicle stimulating hormone \[r-hFSH\]/recombinant human luteinising hormone \[r-hLH\]) and GONAL-f® for multifollicular development as part of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycle in poor ovarian responders, as aligned with the 2011 Consensus Meeting of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE) criteria.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Pergoveris®

Pergoveris (follitropin alfa and lutropin alfa) was administered subcutaneously once daily with a starting dose of 300 International Unit (IU) recombinant human follicular stimulating hormone (rhFSH)/ 150 IU recombinant human luteinizing hormone (rhLH) after confirmation of down regulation up to 21 days. After follicle attained mean diameter of 17-18 millimeter (mm); 250 microgram (mcg) of r-hCG (Ovidrel) was administered once subcutaneously to trigger final follicular maturation as per site standard practice. The dose adjustment for r-hFSH was allowed in 75 IU increments while maintaining the 2:1 ratio of r hFSH to r-hLH in the Pergoveris group based on the subject's response per site standard clinical practice.

DRUG

GONAL-f®

GONAL-f (r-hFSH) was self-administered subcutaneously once daily at a starting dose of 300 IU after confirmation of down regulation up to 21 days. After follicle attained mean diameter of 17-18 mm; 250 mcg of r-hCG was administered once subcutaneously to trigger final follicular maturation as per site standard practice. The dose adjustment for r-hFSH was allowed in 75 IU increments based on the subject's response per site standard clinical practice.

DRUG

Recombinant human chorionic gonadotrophin (r-hCG)

On r-hCG day, 250 mcg of r-hCG was administered once subcutaneously
