Number of Oocytes Retrieved (Per Protocol Population)
As soon as ovulation criteria were reached, HCG was given to trigger ovulation and 34-36 hours later, oocytes were retrieved. If criteria for ovulation triggering could not be reached by FSH stimulation on day 16, treatment was to be stopped. The equivalence in the number of retrieved oocytes was tested using a pre-determined clinical equivalence margin of +/- 2.9 oocytes
Time frame: 34-36 hours after hCG administration and after maximum 16 days of r-hFSH treatment
Number of Oocytes Retrieved (Intention-to-treat Population)
As soon as ovulation criteria were reached, HCG was given to trigger ovulation and 34-36 hours later, oocytes were retrieved. If criteria for ovulation triggering could not be reached by FSH stimulation on day 16, treatment was to be stopped. The equivalence in the number of retrieved oocytes was tested using a pre-determined clinical equivalence margin of +/- 2.9 oocytes
Time frame: 34-36 hours after hCG administration and after maximum 16 days of r-hFSH treatment
Number and Size of Follicles ≥ 12 mm at Day 8 of Stimulation
The number and size of follicles 12 mm or over in diameter at day 8 of stimulation were evaluated as secondary end-point.
Time frame: Day 8 of stimulation
E2 Concentration at Day 8 and at Day of hCG Administration
The serum concentration of oestradiol was assessed at day 8 and the day of hCG administration.
Time frame: Day 8 of stimulation and at the day of hCG administration (after max. 16 days of r-FSH treatment)
Total Dose of r-hFSH Administered
Total dose of r-hFSH required was assessed.
Time frame: Day of hCG administration (after maximum 16 days of r-hFSH treatment)
