Participant Flow

The trial was performed in 24 investigational sites in 18 states of the United States between Oct 2018 to Dec 2020.

In total, 666 participants were screened of which 588 participants were randomized. Of the randomized participants, 587 participants were exposed to the investigational medicinal product (IMP): 533 to FE 999049 (Follitropin Delta) and 54 to Placebo. One participant was randomization failure and did not receive the IMP.

Measure
FE 999049 (Follitropin Delta)
FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen at a starting dose of 15 μg daily that was fixed for the first four stimulation days. Based on ovarian response, the dose could be adjusted by 3 μg, with dose increases implemented not more frequently than once every 2 days and dose decreases implemented per investigator's judgement. The minimum daily dose was 6 μg, and the maximum daily dose was 24 μg. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days. Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with the exception of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.
Placebo
Placebo was administered as single daily subcutaneous injection dialed to the same value (dose) as FE 999049. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days. Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early OHSS with the exception of GnRH agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.

Data in this endpoint are presented for the fresh cycle, the cryopreserved cycles, and all cycles. One participant can contribute with a range from zero to multiple blastocysts. Data is not shown for placebo arm because no subjects underwent blastocyst transfer in the fresh cycle or cryopreserved cycles. '%' in the unit of measure refers to 'percentage'.

FE 999049 (Follitropin Delta)
n=484 Participants
FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen at a starting dose of 15 μg daily that was fixed for the first four stimulation days. Based on ovarian response, the dose could be adjusted by 3 μg, with dose increases implemented not more frequently than once every 2 days and dose decreases implemented per investigator's judgement. The minimum daily dose was 6 μg, and the maximum daily dose was 24 μg. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days. Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with the exception of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.
Placebo

Placebo was administered as single daily subcutaneous injection dialed to the same value (dose) as FE 999049. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days. Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early OHSS with the exception of GnRH agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.

Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) with the exception of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.
Placebo
Placebo was administered as single daily subcutaneous injection dialed to the same value (dose) as FE 999049. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days. Coasting, use of dopamine agonist or any other drug to prevent early OHSS with the exception of GnRH agonist for triggering of final follicular maturation, was not allowed.

Timeframe: Up to 8-9 weeks after transfer

Population: The safety analysis set comprised all randomized and exposed participants. Participants were analyzed according to actual treatment received.

The percentage of cryopreserved cycles with biochemical pregnancy, spontaneous abortion, ectopic pregnancy (with and without medical/surgical intervention) and vanishing twins are presented. Data is not shown for placebo arm because no participants had a positive βhCG. '%' in the unit of measure refers to 'percentage'.

FE 999049 was administered as single daily subcutaneous injections in the abdomen at a starting dose of 15 μg daily that was fixed for the first four stimulation days. Based on ovarian response, the dose could be adjusted by 3 μg, with dose increases implemented not more frequently than once every 2 days and dose decreases implemented per investigator's judgement. The minimum daily dose was 6 μg, and the maximum daily dose was 24 μg. Participants could be treated for a maximum of 20 days.
