Women undergoing IVF/ICSI who are candidates for a GnRH-antagonist protocol are randomly assigned 1:1 to oral linzagolix or the standard injectable GnRH antagonist (ganirelix or cetrorelix). A third, non-randomized group of women with a clinical indication for progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) - for example, a need for a freeze-all strategy - is enrolled concurrently as a comparator cohort. The randomized comparison (linzagolix vs. injectable antagonist) is the primary, non-inferiority analysis; the PPOS cohort provides an exploratory, non-randomized comparison, analyzed with adjustment for baseline differences.
Female, aged 18 to 42 years
Indication for IVF/ICSI with controlled ovarian stimulation at CENTRO AMBRA
Population unselected for ovarian reserve (normal, poor, and high responders are eligible)
Written informed consent, including consent for off-label use of linzagolix and for data processing
Known contraindications or hypersensitivity to the study drugs
Uterine pathology relevant to the study outcome (e.g., uterine malformations, significant submucosal fibroids)
Contraindications to pregnancy or to ovarian stimulation
Concurrent participation in another interfering interventional study
Parallel
Ganirelix ; Cetrorelix
DrugGanirelix Type: Drug Group: B Description: Ganirelix acetate 0.25 mg administered by daily subcutaneous injection, per fixed or flexible protocol according to center practice, to suppress the premature LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation. Cetrorelix Type: Drug Arm: B Description: Cetrorelix acetate 0.25 mg administered by daily subcutaneous injection, per fixed or flexible protocol according to center practice, to suppress the premature LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation.
Medroxyprogesterone Acetate ; Micronized Progesterone
DrugThis is a non-randomized, concurrently enrolled comparator cohort (not part of the 1:1 randomization). Medroxyprogesterone Acetate - Type: Drug - Arm: C - Description: Medroxyprogesterone acetate 10 mg/day administered orally from stimulation day 1-2 through the day of trigger, as part of a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with mandatory freeze-all strategy. Micronized Progesterone - Type: Drug - Arm: C - Description: Micronized progesterone 100-200 mg/day administered orally from stimulation day 1-2 through the day of trigger, as part of a progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) protocol with mandatory freeze-all strategy.
Linzagolix
DrugDescription: Linzagolix Type: Drug Group: A Description: Linzagolix 200 mg administered orally once daily, started per center protocol (fixed stimulation day or upon appearance of the dominant follicle) and continued through the day of trigger. Investigational off-label use for suppression of the premature LH surge during controlled ovarian stimulation.
Number of Mature (MII) Oocytes Retrieved
Number of metaphase II (mature) oocytes collected at oocyte retrieval. Non-inferiority of linzagolix versus the injectable GnRH antagonist will be concluded if the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the adjusted mean difference in MII oocytes (adjusted for ovarian reserve, age, BMI, gonadotropin type and dose, and trigger type) excludes a loss greater than the pre-specified non-inferiority margin of 2.0 MII oocytes. An exploratory comparison with the PPOS cohort is also performed, adjusted for baseline confounders.
