E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Demonstrate non-inferiority of oral dydrogesterone in the two treatment regimens versus micronized progesterone vaginal gel. The primary efficacy parameter is the presence of fetal heart beats at 12 weeks’gestation (10 weeks´ pregnancy) determined by transvaginal ultrasound. To obtain safety and tolerability data by means of documenting treatment emergent AEs. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary parameters are a positive pregnancy test on Day 14 after embryo transfer and the incidence of live births and healthy newborns.
