Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To assess the impact of ultra-long protocol versus long protocol on the live birth rate after first or second IVF/ICSI attempt in infertile women with adenomyosis.; Secondary Objective: To compare ultra-long and long protocols efficacy after first or second IVF/ICSI in terms of: -uterine volume reduction following pituitary down-regulation -low responders rate -biochemical pregnancy -implantation rate -clinical pregnancy -clinical pregnancy with fetal heart beat -ongoing pregnancy at the end of first trimester -first trimester miscarriage To assess treatment safety and tolerability in both arms in terms of specific menopause-like symptoms at the end of down-regulation treatment, To assess Adverse Events occurrence during down-regulation treatment, during IVF/ICSI attempt, during pregnancy (including ectopic pregnancy occurrence) and at delivery (maternal and perinatal complications for mother and child until 6 weeks post-partum). To assess placental malposition occurrence (defined as the presence of placenta previa or accreta diagnosed on third trimester US examination or at time of delivery). ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is a live birth after first or second IVF/ICSI attempt defined as delivery of one or more live-born infant. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From 22 weeks of gestation | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Secondary efficacy endpoints include: -Uterine volume reduction between Ultra sound measurements: at baseline and at time of ovarian stimulation onset -Occurrence of poor responders defined as women with <3 matures follicles or serum estradiol <500 -Biochemical pregnancy defined as serum ßhCG = 100 IU/l -Implantation rate defined as the ratio ”number of gestational sacs/number of transferred embryos” on transvaginal ultrasound -Clinical pregnancy defined as the presence of one or more gestational sacs on transvaginal ultrasound -Clinical pregnancy with fetal heart beat defined as the presence of at least one fetus with heart beat on transvaginal ultrasound -Ongoing pregnancy defined as a live pregnancy on first trimester ultrasound examination -First trimester miscarriage occurrence defined as a pregnancy loss before 12 weeks of gestation among patients with a clinical pregnancy Secondary safety endpoints include: -Occurrence of menopause-like symptoms using the Menopause Rating Scale -Occurrence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHS) -Occurrence of pregnancy and post-partum complications -Occurrence of neonatal complications -Occurrence of any other adverse Event ; Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: -Uterine volume reduction:at baseline and at time of ovarian stimulation onset -Occurrence of poor responders:at the time of ovulation triggering -Biochemical pregnancy:14 days following follicular aspiration -Implantation rate and clinical pregnancy:5 weeks after follicular aspiration -Clinical pregnancy with fetal heart beat:7 weeks after embryo transfer -Ongoing pregn | — |
