Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Oocytes Retrieved
At approximately 34 to 38 hours after r-hCG administration (Day 113)

Mean number of oocytes retrieved on the day of ovum pick up (OPU) was calculated. Oocyte retrieval was a technique used in in-vitro fertilization in order to remove oocytes from the ovary of the female, enabling fertilization outside the body.

Secondary Endpoints

Ongoing Pregnancy Rate
70 days after embryo transfer (Day 185)
Live Birth Rate
Approximately 180 days following ongoing pregnancy determination (Day 365)
Embryo Implantation Rate
35-42 days post r-hCG administration (Day 154)

NameTypeDescription
Pergoveris®DRUGPergoveris (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.
GONAL-f®DRUGGONAL-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.
Recombinant human chorionic gonadotrophin (r-hCG)DRUGOn r-hCG day, 250 mcg of r-hCG was administered once subcutaneously
