Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of the trial is to assess the non-immunogenicity and safety of corifollitropin alfa (also known as Org 36286, SCH 900962 and MK-8962) in participants undergoing repeated COS cycles using a multiple dose GnRH antagonist protocol.


Description:

This trial is designed as an open-label, uncontrolled, repeated cycle trial to assess the non-immunogenicity and safety of corifollitropin alfa in participants undergoing repeated COS cycles for in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using a multiple dose GnRH antagonist protocol. The trial period per participant will cover 1, 2 or 3 COS treatment cycles and no more than three (in-between two stimulation cycles) Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer (FTET) cycles following either or both of the first two treatment cycles. In each stimulation cycle, participants receive a single injection of corifollitropin alfa and one week later, treatment is continued with a daily dose of any FSH-containing preparation up to the day of (rec)hCG administration for final oocyte maturation. Assessment of anti-corifollitropin alfa antibodies and local tolerance after corifollitropin alfa injection are important safety endpoints in this trial.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants With Clinically Relevant Immunogenicity Serum samples obtained pre-dose and at 2 weeks after embryo transfer (ET), or at cycle discontinuation and 2-3 weeks after cycle discontinuation if cycle was stopped before ET was performed, were analyzed for presence of anti-corifollitropin alfa antibodies using screening and confirmatory tests. If a participant was confirmed to have anti-corifollitropin alfa antibody present in a post dose sample according to these tests, review of adverse events (AEs) in the participant was performed. The sample was also tested to evaluate whether the antibody appeared to have neutralizing activity that would interfere with the study drug biological effect. A participant was determined to have clinically relevant immunogenicity if the participant had a confirmed post dose anti-corifollitropin alfa antibody test result accompanied by clinical signs of immunogenicity (e.g., hypersensitivity reaction), considering also the results of the test for neutralizing activity of any antibody present. Pre-dose (Stimulation Day 1) and up to approximately 40 days post dose in each treatment cycle

Primary Local Tolerance at Injection Site Overall Summary: Number of Participants With no Local Tolerance Event (Itching, Pain, Redness or Swelling) and With a Mild, Moderate and Severe Local Tolerance Event in Any of 3 Treatment Cycles At 30 minutes after dosing in each treatment cycle, the corifollitropin alfa injection site was assessed for the presence of itching, pain, redness and swelling, each of which was scored as none (no event), mild, moderate or severe. This measure reports results considering the occurrence of any of the defined local tolerance events. A participant with an event was counted once in this analysis. 30 minutes post dose in each treatment cycle
Primary Number of Participants With AEs An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. Up to approximately 26 months after first dose of corifollitropin alfa
Primary Number of Participants With Serious AEs (SAEs) An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. SAEs that occurred in fetuses or infants during the study period are included in this summary of SAEs, and are allocated to the associated study participant who was administered corifollitropin alfa. Up to approximately 26 months after first dose of corifollitropin alfa
Primary Number of Participants With Moderate to Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) OHSS was classified on study based on a slightly modified WHO Scientific Group (1973) classification: Grade I (mild) = characterized by excessive steroid secretion and ovarian enlargement (5-7 cm). Abdominal discomfort, including abdominal pain, is present. Grade II (moderate) = characterized by distinct ovarian cysts (ovary size 8-10 cm), accompanied by abdominal pain and tension, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. Grade III (severe) = characterized by enlarged cystic ovaries (ovary size >10 cm), accompanied by ascites and occasionally hydrothorax. Abdominal tension and pain may be severe. Pronounced hydrothorax together with an abdominal cavity filled with cysts and fluid elevating the diaphragm may cause severe breathing difficulties. Large quantities of fluid inside the cysts and in the peritoneal and pleural cavities cause haemoconcentration and increased blood viscosity. In rare cases, the syndrome may further be complicated by the occurrence of thromboembolic phenomena. Up to approximately 1 month after oocyte pick-up (34-36 hours after [rec]hCG administration [approximately Stimulation Day 10]), within a treatment cycle

Secondary Number of Oocytes Retrieved in a Participant Among Entire Study Population Oocyte retrieval, also known as oocyte pick-up, is a technique used in in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in order to remove oocytes from the ovary of the female, enabling fertilization outside the body. The number of oocytes retrieved, per participant, is summarized. Day of oocyte pick-up, 34-36 hours after (rec)hCG administration (approximately Stimulation Day 10), within a treatment cycle
Secondary Quality of Oocytes Assessed Prior to Planned ICSI in Treatment Cycle 1 This measure summarizes results of assessment of the quality of oocytes performed following oocyte retrieval, among participants scheduled for ICSI in Treatment Cycle 1. For oocytes obtained from each participant, the number in each of 3 stages of oocyte development were determined. The earliest phase is the germinal vesicles stage, during which the immature oocyte appears as a large vesicular nucleus. Metaphase I is an intermediate stage during which the vesicles have broken down and the polar body has not yet formed; the oocyte is still immature. Metaphase II is the mature oocyte and is indicated by the presence of the polar body. Rating of quality for usefulness in ICSI follows the order metaphase II (best quality), metaphase I (lesser quality) and germinal vesicles stage (poorest quality). Only metaphase II oocytes can be fertilized. Metaphase I oocytes can develop in vitro to metaphase II oocytes. Germinal vesicles stage oocytes are the least useful for ICSI procedures.

Secondary Number of Participants With Miscarriage Among Participants With Vital Pregnancy in Any of Treatment Cycles 1, 2 or 3 Miscarriage: Loss of the fetus without induction or instrumentation, also known as "spontaneous abortion." Vital pregnancy: Presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by ultrasound scan. 5-6 weeks up to 9 months after ET, within a treatment cycle
Secondary Number of Participants With Ectopic Pregnancy Among Participants With Biochemical Pregnancy in Any of Treatment Cycles 1, 2 or 3 Ectopic pregnancy: A pregnancy in which the embryo attaches itself in a place other than inside the uterus. The most common site for an ectopic pregnancy is within one of the two fallopian tubes. Biochemical pregnancy: Pregnancy proven by a biochemical pregnancy test using urine samples or serum samples collected at least 14 days after ET. Participants not having a positive biochemical pregnancy test result, but with an ultrasound scan showing at least one gestational sac were counted as having a biochemical pregnancy. From 2 weeks up to approximately 5-6 weeks after ET, within a treatment cycle
Secondary Number of Participants With Ongoing Pregnancy in Any FTET Cycle After the first and after the second treatment cycle (i.e., a cycle in which corifollitropin alfa was administered for ovarian stimulation), participants could continue with a maximum of three FTET cycles before starting the following treatment cycle. This measure summarizes the number of participants with ongoing pregnancy following ET within an FTET cycle. Ongoing pregnancy: Presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by ultrasound scan at least 10 weeks after ET, or confirmed by live birth. 10 weeks up to 9 months after ET within an FTET cycle
Secondary Cumulative Ongoing Pregnancy Rate: Percentage of Participants With Ongoing Pregnancy in Treatment Cycles 1, 2 or 3, or in Any FTET Cycle, or Who Had Ongoing Pregnancy That Was a Spontaneous Pregnancy The ongoing pregnancy rate, cumulative over the entire study (in percent), is defined as 100 times the number of participants who had an ongoing pregnancy in Treatment Cycles 1, 2 or 3, or in any FTET cycle, or who had a spontaneous ongoing pregnancy, divided by the total number of participants who were administered corifollitropin alfa in the study. A participant could only be represented once in the count of ongoing pregnancies for determination of cumulative ongoing pregnancy rate. After the first and after the second treatment cycle (i.e., a cycle in which corifollitropin alfa was administered for ovarian stimulation), participants could continue with a maximum of three FTET cycles before starting the following treatment cycle. A spontaneous pregnancy is a pregnancy that was not considered to have resulted from ET in a treatment cycle or FTET cycle. Up to approximately 26 months after first dose of corifollitropin alfa
