Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Percentage of Subjects With Ovulation Mid-luteal Serum Progesterone (P4) Level of Greater Than or Equal (>=) 5 Nanogram Per Milliliter (ng/mL) or Clinical Pregnancy
Mid-luteal phase progesterone assessed (Day 5 to 10) or clinical pregnancy (Day 35 to 42) post hCG treatment

Ovulation was defined as mid-luteal serum progesterone level of \>= 5 ng/mL or clinical pregnancy. Clinical pregnancy was defined as the presence of at least a fetal sac on transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS).

Secondary Endpoints

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
MSJ-0011DRUGSubjects who underwent ovarian stimulation with follitropin alfa according to a low-dose step-up protocol for maximum of 28 days will receive a single dose of 250 microgram (mcg) MSJ-0011 (choriogonadotropin alfa \[recombinant human Chorionic Gonadotropin, r-hCG\]) subcutaneously (SC) within 32 hours after the last dose of follitropin alfa administration unless dominant follicle reached a mean diameter of greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 millimeter (mm); not more than 3 follicles each with a mean diameter of \>=16 mm and serum Estradiol (E2) level within an acceptable range for the number of follicle present, and not more than 2,000 picogram per milliliter (pg/mL).
urinary hCG (u-hCG)DRUGSubjects who underwent ovarian stimulation with follitropin alfa according to a low-dose step-up protocol for maximum of 28 days will receive a single dose of 5,000 IU u-hCG intramuscularly dose within 32 hours after the last dose of follitropin alfa administration unless dominant follicle reached a mean diameter of \>=18 mm; not more than 3 follicles each with a mean diameter of \>=16 mm and serum E2 level within an acceptable range for the number of follicle present, and not more than 2,000 pg/mL.
Follitropin alphaDRUGLow-dose step-up protocol involves starting dose of follitropin alfa as 75 International Units (IU) subcutaneously per day ,increments by 37.5 IU every 7 days (Day 8, 15, 28) will be done if no ovarian response will be observed for maximum of 28 days.

What is MSJ-0011 used for?

MSJ-0011 is an investigational small molecule being developed for the treatment of anovulation, a condition where the ovaries do not release an egg during a menstrual cycle. It is also being studied for related conditions such as oligo-ovulation, hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, and polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Who makes MSJ-0011?

MSJ-0011 is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., a pharmaceutical company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol MRK.

What phase is MSJ-0011 in?

MSJ-0011 is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. A Phase 3 trial has been completed to assess its efficacy and safety in inducing ovulation.

What clinical trials is MSJ-0011 in?

MSJ-0011 has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial, identified as NCT01653743. This trial assessed the clinical efficacy and safety of MSJ-0011 in inducing ovulation in anovulatory or oligo-ovulatory Japanese women, enrolling 81 participants.

What does MSJ-0011 target?

The molecular target of MSJ-0011 has not been disclosed in available information. The drug is being studied for its ability to induce ovulation in women with anovulation or oligo-ovulation, but its specific mechanism of action is not publicly detailed.
