Controlled Ovarian Stimulation
Conditions
Brief summary
Study designed to observe the usage patterns, efficacy and safety of REKOVELLE® in women naive to IVF and ICSI, undergoing their first Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COS) treatment cycle with REKOVELLE® in routine clinical practice.
Interventions
DRUGREKOVELLE®
Subjects must be treated according to the routine clinical practice and REKOVELLE® must be prescribed in accordance with the terms of the marketing authorisation of each participating country. According to the label the REKOVELLE® dose should be based on a recent determination of body weight and a recent determination of Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) (i.e. within the last 12 months) measured by the following diagnostic tests: ELECSYS AMH Plus immunoassay from Roche or alternatively the ACCESS AMH Advanced from Beckman Coulter or LUMIPULSE G AMH from Fujirebio.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Use of the algorithm-based individualized dosing regimen (daily dose of REKOVELLE® administered) | Up to day 1 of REKOVELLE® stimulation | Calculated with body weight and AMH serum level to define the daily dose of REKOVELLE® |
| Daily dose of REKOVELLE® | From day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation | — |
| Number of days of treatment with REKOVELLE® | From day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation | — |
| REKOVELLE® Dose changes | From day 1 up to day 20 of REKOVELLE® stimulation | Dose changes is the discretion of the investigator |
| Use of the Algorithm dosing Application | Up to day 1 of REKOVELLE® stimulation | Use of the Ferring developed dosing app for the daily dose calculation by answering yes/no |
| Use of GnRH protocol for Lutenizing Hormone surge suppression | Up to day 10 | Defined as a choice between GnRH agonist and GnRH antagonist |
| Type of drug used for triggering of follicle maturation | Between Day 8 and Day 14 | Defined as a choice between hCG or GnRH |
| Luteal phase support | 24-72 hours after oocyte-retrieval | Type and the length of luteal phase support is the discretion of the investigator. Decided as a choice between Progesterone, Oestrogen and hCG |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pregnancy loss in women with embryo/blastocyst transfer (biochemical pregnancy, spontaneous/elective abortion, ectopic pregnancy, vanishing twin) | Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer | Biochemical pregnancy is defined as positive beta hCG (βhCG) test but no gestational sac is observed on later transvaginal ultrasound, or menstruation is reported. Spontaneous abortion is defined as positive βhCG test but all intrauterine gestational sacs without fetal heart beat as documented by ultrasound, or there are no viable fetuses observed by ultrasound. Elective abortion is defined as induced abortion done at the request of the woman for other than therapeutic reasons. Ectopic pregnancy is defined as extrauterine gestational sac with or without fetal heart beat as documented by ultrasound or surgery. Vanishing twin is defined as spontaneous disappearance of an intrauterine gestational sac with or without heart beat in a pregnancy where one viable fetus remains as documented by ultrasound. |
| Cycle cancellation before or after oocyte pick-up and reason for cycle cancellation | At consultation visit where cycle cancellation decided up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer | Date when the investigator decides to cancel cycle before oocyte pick up (due to poor ovarian response, excessive ovarian response, any illness which prevents oocyte collection procedure, subject not taking hCG injection at the correct time, subject choice, other) or after oocyte pick-up (due to no oocytes collected, no oocytes fertilized, abnormal fertilization, abnormal embryo development, no embryo development, OHSS, subject choice, other) |
| Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) | During 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer. | Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) defined by the investigator |
| Rate of ongoing pregnancy (≥1 intrauterine viable fetus 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer) in the fresh cycle | 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer | — |
| Preventive interventions for early OHSS | During 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer. | Preventive interventions decided by the investigator (Triggering of final follicular maturation with GnRH agonist and fresh embryo/blastocyst transfer or cryopreservation, Cancellation of fresh embryo/blastocyst transfer) |
| Assessment of overall subject experience and convenience with REKOVELLE® by the Subject Questionnaire (assessed by the subject) | 34-36 hours after final injection of 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (average 9 days) | — |
| Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) (including mild/moderate/severe) | During 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days), Up to 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer. | OHSS defined by the investigator (including mild/moderate/severe) |
| Rate of ongoing pregnancy (≥1 intrauterine viable fetus 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer) following the fresh cycle, including also the first frozen embryo transfer | 10-11 weeks after embryo transfer | — |
| Number of oocytes retrieved | Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) at 34-36 hours | — |
| Number of oocytes/embryos/blastocysts frozen | Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) after oocyte retrieval | — |
| Number of embryos/blastocysts transferred | Following 1st cycle with REKOVELLE® (each cycle range is 5-20 days, average 9 days) after oocyte retrieval | — |
