A study to compare if 30mg of oral Dydrogesterone is as good, tolerable and safe as 600mg of intravaginal capsules for luteal support in IVF pregnancies. This study will be conducted at several study sites and neither the patient or the doctor will know which of the two different treatments a patient will receive.

A Double-Blind, Double-Dummy, Randomized, Two-arm, Multicenter Study Comparing the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of Oral Dydrogesterone 30 mg daily versus Intravaginal Micronized Progesterone Capsules 600 mg daily for Luteal Support in In-Vitro Fertilization - Lotus I

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of oral dydrogesterone 10 mg TID versus micronized progesterone vaginal capsules 200 mg TID. The primary efficacy parameter is the presence of fetal heart beats at 12 weeks’ gestation determined by transvaginal ultrasound.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives and parameters are a positive pregnancy test on Day 14 after embryo transfer, the incidence of live births and healthy newborns. The safety objective is to obtain safety and tolerability data by means of documentation of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) during the entire study period. In addition, data on vital signs, physical examination findings, and routine laboratory values will be obtained. Furthermore, signs and symptoms of threatened abortion, the rate of hypospadias and the rate of masculinization in female babies will be recorded. The time of delivery (pregnancy week) and the following parameters of the newborn will be obtained at delivery: gender, APGAR Score, weight, height, head circumference, abnormal findings of physical examination and any malformations.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy parameter is the pregnancy rate defined as the presence of fetal heart beats at 12 weeks’ gestation determined by transvaginal ultrasound. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 weeks’ gestation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): The secondary parameters are a positive pregnancy test on Day 14 after embryo transfer, the incidence of live births and healthy newborns. Further secondary parameters are gender and APGAR score as well as the height, weight and head circumference of the newborn (s). In addition, a physical examination of the newborn will be performed and any malformations will be recorded. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 14 after embryo transfer and birth
