Frequently asked questions about Dydrogesterone

What is dydrogesterone used for?

Dydrogesterone is a small molecule progesterone receptor agonist developed by Abbott Laboratories for female infertility and recurrent miscarriage. It is used as luteal support in in-vitro fertilization and in the treatment of recurrent miscarriage. It is also known as dydrogesterone 30 mg.

What does dydrogesterone target?

Dydrogesterone targets the progesterone receptor (PGR) and acts as an agonist. By binding to PGR, it mimics the effects of endogenous progesterone, supporting the luteal phase and early pregnancy. This mechanism underlies its use in female infertility and recurrent miscarriage.

Who makes dydrogesterone?

Dydrogesterone is developed by Abbott Laboratories, which trades under the ticker ABT. Abbott is the company associated with the clinical development of dydrogesterone 30 mg for female infertility and recurrent miscarriage.

What phase is dydrogesterone in?

Dydrogesterone is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is investigational and has been studied in completed Phase 3 trials. The development program includes two completed Phase 3 trials in female infertility and one completed Phase 3 trial in recurrent miscarriage.

What clinical trials is dydrogesterone in?

Dydrogesterone has been studied in three completed Phase 3 trials. NCT02491437 (LOTUS II) compared oral dydrogesterone 30 mg daily with Crinone 8% gel for luteal support in IVF. NCT01850030 compared it with intravaginal micronized progesterone capsules. NCT00193674 evaluated oral dydrogesterone in women with recurrent miscarriage.
