View on ClinicalTrials.gov
Updated Dec 15, 2025
Brief Summary
The main purpose of this study is to assess the bioequivalence (BE) of the fixed combination of follitropin alfa and lutropin alfa in Pergoveris freeze-dried (FD) (Test 1) or in Pergoveris Liquid (Test 2) versus the co-administration of Gonal-f and Luveris (Reference), administered subcutaneously (SC) in pituitary suppressed, healthy premenopausal Chinese female participants, at the doses of 900 international unit (IU) of follitropin alfa and 450 IU lutropin alfa.
Interventions
Name:
Pergoveris FD
Type:
DRUG
Description:
Participants will be administered with 900 IU of recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (r-hFSH) and 450 IU of recombinant human luteinizing hormone (r-hLH) freeze-dried powder (Freeze-dried Pergoveris) as subcutaneous injection on Day 1 in investigation period 1 or investigation period 2 or investigation period 3. There will be a washout period of 6 days between investigation period 1 and investigation period 2 and 17 days between investigation period 2 and investigation period 3.
Name:
Pergoveris Liquid
Type:
DRUG
Description:
Participants will be administered with 900 IU of r-hFSH and 450 IU of r-hLH solution (Pergoveris Liquid) as subcutaneous injection using disposable pen-injector on Day 1 in investigation period 1 or investigation period 2 or investigation period 3. There will be a washout period of 6 days between investigation period 1 and investigation period 2 and 17 days between investigation period 2 and investigation period 3.
Name:
Gonal-f
Type:
DRUG
Description:
Participants will be administered with 900 IU of folitropin alfa (Gonal-f) as subcutaneous injection on Day 1 in investigation period 1 or investigation period 2 or investigation period 3. There will be a washout period of 6 days between investigation period 1 and investigation period 2 and 17 days between investigation period 2 and investigation period 3.
Name:
Luveris
Type:
DRUG
Description:
Participants will be administered with 450 IU of lutropin alfa (Luveris) as subcutaneous injection on Day 1 in investigation period 1 or investigation period 2 or investigation period 3. There will be a washout period of 6 days between investigation period 1 and investigation period 2 and 17 days between investigation period 2 and investigation period 3.
