Subcutaneous Progesterone in Frozen- Thawed Single Euploid Blastocyst Transfer.

Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, active-controlled, non-inferiority clinical study in women aged 35 to 42 years. This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of Progesterone-IBSA to support euploid embryo blastocyst implantation and early pregnancy after frozen embryo transfer (FET) in a modified natural cycle as a treatment for infertile women. Subjects will be randomized to receive either active Progesterone-IBSA or Crinone 8% for luteal and early pregnancy support and these two groups will be compared.

  • * Consistent, regular spontaneous ovulatory menstrual cycle with normal length (24-38 days included);
  • * Body mass index (BMI) \< 38 kg/m2;
  • * Subject with at least one euploid frozen blastocyst from a previous IVF treatment cycle;
  • * Less than 3 previous consecutive euploid blastocyst transfers without a life birth;
  • * Baseline Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) \< 15 mIU/mL, and Anti Muellerian Hormone (AMH) \>0.7 ng/mL (within 6 months from screening for subjects requiring a stimulation cycle to obtain a euploid embryo); and Estradiol (E2) \< 90 pg/mL and Progesterone (P4)\< 1.5 ng/mL at Visit 1 (for all subjects);
  • * Semen used during IVF(for subjects requiring a stimulation cycle to obtain a euploid embryo) was produced by ejaculation (not surgically derived sperm) from either the partner or from a sperm donor. Donor must be 18-40 years of age at the time of collection and compliant with 21 Code of Regulations (CFR) section 1271 Subpart C;

  • * Type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus based on American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria3;
  • * Uncontrolled adrenal or thyroid dysfunction;
  • * History of conditions (i.e. toxic shock syndrome) that would contraindicate use of a vaginal progesterone product;
