Trial to Assess the Clinical Efficacy and Safety of MSJ-0011 in Inducing Ovulation in Anovulatory or Oligo-ovulatory Japanese Women

Found through the registry condition index, not selected as a treatment recommendation. This discovery collection was restricted to studies with posted results.

This is an open-label, parallel-group, randomized, multicenter Phase III trial to compare the efficacy and safety of a single 250 microgram (mcg) subcutaneous dose of MSJ-0011 to a single 5,000 international units (IU) intramuscular dose of urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in inducing ovulation in Japanese women diagnosed with anovulation or oligo-ovulation. Ovulation induction therapy will be undertaken with follitropin alfa. The primary objective is to show that MSJ-0011 is non-inferior to urinary hCG, as assessed by the ovulation rate.
