E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Informed Consent Form signed prior to screening evaluations. 2. In good physical and mental health. 3. Pre-menopausal females between the ages of 18 and 40 years. The subjects must be at least 18 years (including the 18th birthday) when they sign the informed consent and no more than 40 years (up to the day before the 41st birthday) at the time of randomisation. 4. Infertile women diagnosed with tubal infertility, unexplained infertility, endometriosis stage I/II or with partners diagnosed with male factor infertility, eligible for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and/or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) using fresh or frozen ejaculated sperm from male partner or sperm donor. 5. Infertility for at least one year before randomisation for subjects ≤37 years or for at least 6 months for subjects ≥38 years (not applicable in case of tubal or severe male factor infertility). 6. Regular menstrual cycles of 21-35 days (both inclusive), presumed to be ovulatory. 7. Transvaginal ultrasound documenting presence and adequate visualisation of both ovaries, without evidence of significant abnormality (e.g. no endometrioma greater than 3 cm, and no enlarged ovaries or ovarian cyst not due to polycystic ovarian syndrome, which would contraindicate the use of gonadotropins) and normal adnexa (e.g. no hydrosalpinx) within 1 year prior to randomisation. Both ovaries must be accessible for oocyte retrieval. 8. Early follicular phase (cycle day 2-4) serum levels of FSH between 1 and 15 IU/L (results obtained within 3 months prior to randomisation). |
1. Formulario de consentimiento informado firmado antes de las evaluaciones de selección. 2. Buena salud física y mental. 3. Mujeres premenopáusicas de entre 18 y 40 años de edad. Las pacientes deben tener al menos 18 años (incluido el 18.o cumpleaños) cuando firmen el consentimiento informado y no más de 40 años (hasta el día anterior al 41.er cumpleaños) en el momento de la aleatorización. 4. Mujeres infértiles con diagnóstico de infertilidad tubárica, infertilidad inexplicable, endometriosis en estadio I/II o con parejas con diagnóstico de infertilidad de factor masculino, aptas para fecundación in vitro (FIV) o inyección intracitoplásmica de esperma (ICSI) utilizando esperma eyaculado fresco o congelado procedente de la pareja masculina o de un donante de esperma. 5. Infertilidad durante al menos un año antes de la aleatorización para pacientes de ≤37 años o durante al menos 6 meses para pacientes de ≥38 años (no aplicable en caso de infertilidad tubárica o por factor masculino grave). 6. Ciclos menstruales regulares de 21-35 días (ambos inclusive), presuntamente ovulatorios. 7. Ecografía transvaginal que documenta la presencia y la visualización adecuada de ambos ovarios, sin signos de anomalía significativa (p. ej., ausencia de endometrioma mayor de 3 cm y ausencia de ovarios agrandados o quistes ováricos no debidos al síndrome del ovario poliquístico, lo que contraindicaría el uso de gonadotropinas) y apéndices normales (p. ej., ausencia de hidrosálpinx) en el plazo de 1 año antes de la aleatorización. Ambos ovarios deben ser accesibles para la recuperación de ovocitos. 8. Concentración sérica de FSH en fase folicular temprana (días del ciclo 2-4) entre 1 y 15 UI/l (resultados obtenidos en los 3 meses anteriores a la aleatorización). |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Primary ovarian failure. 2. Known endometriosis stage III-IV. 3. One or more follicles ≥10 mm (including cysts) observed on the transvaginal ultrasound prior to randomisation on stimulation day 1 (puncture of cysts is allowed prior to randomisation). 4. Any known endocrine or metabolic abnormalities (pituitary, adrenal, pancreas, liver or kidney) which can compromise participation in the trial with the exception of controlled thyroid function disease. 5. Known tumours of the ovary, breast, uterus, adrenal gland, pituitary or hypothalamus which would contraindicate the use of gonadotropins. 6. Fibroid tumours of the uterus incompatible with pregnancy. 7. Currently breast-feeding. 8. Undiagnosed vaginal bleeding. 9. Findings at the gynaecological examination at screening which preclude gonadotropin stimulation or are associated with a reduced chance of pregnancy, e.g. congenital uterine abnormalities or retained intrauterine device. 10. Pregnancy (negative urinary pregnancy tests must be documented at screening and prior to randomisation) or contraindication to pregnancy. 11. Use of fertility modifiers during the last menstrual cycle before randomisation, including dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or cycle programming with oral contraceptives, progestogen or estrogen preparations. 12. Hypersensitivity to any active ingredient or excipients in the medicinal products used in the trial. 13. Previous participation in the trial. 14. Use of any non-registered investigational drugs during the last 3 months prior to randomisation |
