NCT01144416
P06029
  • Ages 35-42
  • Female

Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to show that a single injection of SCH 900962/MK-8962 is non-inferior to daily injections of recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone (recFSH) during the first week of ovarian stimulation in terms of the number of vital pregnancies (ie, presence of at least one fetus with heart activity as assessed by ultrasound at least 35 days after embryo transfer) in women aged 35 to 42 years undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent for trial P06029 as well as forthe Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer (FTET) follow-up trial P06031, and for thepharmacogenetic analysis (if applicable).
