Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Baseline Corrected Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC 0-t,Adj) for Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
Pre-dose, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96, 120 and 168 hours post-dose in each period

The AUC (0-t) was defined as the area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to time of last quantifiable concentration. Baseline-corrected AUC0-t (AUC0-t,adj) = AUC0-t - (baseline concentration \* t).

Baseline Corrected Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve From Zero to Last Quantifiable Concentration (AUC0-t,Adj) for Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Pre-dose, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96 and 120 hours post-dose in each period

The AUC (0-t) was defined as the area under the serum concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to time of last quantifiable concentration. Baseline-corrected AUC0-t (AUC0-t,adj) = AUC0-t - (baseline concentration \* t).

Baseline Corrected Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax,Adj) for Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)

Baseline-corrected Cmax (Cmax,adj) = Cmax - baseline concentration

Baseline Corrected Maximum Serum Concentration (Cmax,Adj) for Luteinizing Hormone (LH)
Pre-dose, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 96 and 120 hours post-dose in each period

Baseline-corrected Cmax (Cmax,adj) = Cmax - baseline concentration.

Frequently asked questions about Liquid pergoveris

What is Liquid pergoveris used for?

Liquid pergoveris is an investigational small molecule being studied for use in healthy premenopausal female subjects. It is being developed as a liquid formulation of pergoveris, a medication used in fertility treatments. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities.

Who makes Liquid pergoveris?

Liquid pergoveris is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MRK. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and bioequivalence of this liquid formulation compared to the freeze-dried version of pergoveris.

What phase is Liquid pergoveris in?

Liquid pergoveris is in Phase 1 clinical development. A Phase 1 trial has been completed, which enrolled 34 healthy premenopausal female subjects in Germany. The drug is investigational and has not received FDA approval. It remains in early-stage clinical testing to assess its pharmacokinetic profile and bioequivalence.

What clinical trials is Liquid pergoveris in?

Liquid pergoveris has one completed clinical trial registered under NCT02317809, titled "Bioequivalence Trial of Liquid Versus Freeze-Dried Pergoveris® in Pituitary Suppressed Healthy Premenopausal Female Subjects." This Phase 1 study enrolled 34 healthy female participants aged 18 years and older in Germany and was a controlled, randomized trial.

Is Liquid pergoveris the same as pergoveris?

Liquid pergoveris is a liquid formulation of pergoveris, which is also available as a freeze-dried product. The two forms contain the same active ingredients but differ in their pharmaceutical formulation. The clinical trial NCT02317809 was designed to compare the bioequivalence of the liquid version against the freeze-dried version in healthy premenopausal women.
