  5. 1. OCP PRETREATMENT

  6. Oral Contraceptive Pill Pretreatment Potentially relevant RCTs identified and screened for retrieval (n=34) RCTs excluded (n=27) RCTs retrieved for more detailed evaluation (n=7) RCTs excluded (n=3) RCTs with usable information, by outcome (n=4) Cedrin-Durnerin et al, 2006 Huirne et al, 2006 Kolibianakis et al, 2006 Rombauts et al, 2006 Until 3/2007 Inclusion: true RCTs Griesinger et al. Fertil Steril. 2008;90:1055. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  7. Effect of OCP Pretreatment . Griesinger et al. Fertil Steril. 2008;90:1055. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  9. 2. Early vs Late hCG

  10. When is the correct moment to induce final oocyte maturation ? • At least 3 follicles of ≥ 17 mm present in ultrasound • Borm and Mannaerts HR 2000, The Middle East orgalutran study group HR 2001, • Fluker FS 2001, Kolibianakis FS 2002, 2003 • At least 3 follicles of ≥ 18 mm present in ultrasound • Garcia - Velasco HR 2001 • Leading follicle attained 18-20 mm and estradiol levels were indicating satisfactory follicular development • Olivennes HR 1998 • At least ≥ 1 follicle of ≥ 18 mm and 3 follicles of ≥ 15 mm • de Jong FS 2001 • At least 1 follicle of ≥ 20 mm and an estradiol level 1200 pg/ml • Albano HR 2000 • At least 1 follicle of ≥ 20 mm or an estradiol level 1200 pg/ml • Felberbaum HR 2000 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  11. Effect of Delaying hCG by 2 Days Kolibianakis et al. Hum Reprod. 2005;20:2453. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  12. Advancement or delay with 1 day Tremellen et al., Hum Reprod, 2010 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  13. 3. GnRH antagonists

  14. Elevated progesterone before start Kolibianakis, Hum Reprod, 2004 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  15. Elevated progesterone before start Kolibianakis, Hum Reprod, 2004 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  16. Administration of a GnRH antagonist before start in case of elevated progesterone Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  17. GnRH antagonist before start Blockeel et al., CurrPharmac Biotech, 2011. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  18. GnRH antagonist before start Blockeel et al., CurrPharmac Biotech, 2011. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  19. Administration of a GnRH antagonist before start in case of normal progesterone Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  20. Treatment of Subjects Group A GnRH antagonist 150-225 IU recFSH Cycle day 2 5 6 9 ET OPU Group B 150-225 IU recFSH 10.000IU hCG GnRH antagonist GnRH antagonist Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  21. Results Blockeel et al.,FertilSteril, 2011 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  22. Protocol for oocyte donors 150-225 IU recFSH GnRH antagonist GnRH antagonist Cycle day 2 5 6 9 OPU GnRH agonist trigger • Recruitment of oocytes • No OHSS Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  23. 4. ESTRADIOL

  24. Luteal estradiol pretreatment Fanchin et al. Hum Reprod. 2003;12:2698. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  25. Luteal estradiol pretreatment • Suppression of FSH • Coordination of antral follicle growth (homogeneity - synchronisation) • More physiological than GnRH agonist or OCP Fanchin et al. Hum Reprod. 2003;12:2698. Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  26. Luteal estradiol pretreatment RCT by Guivarc’h-Levêque et al (2010) • Long GnRH agonist protocol (n=412) versus • GnRH antagonist protocol with estradiol pretreatment (n=426) • Lower proportion of OR during weekend days > programming feasible • PR equivalent with long agonist protocol (Guivarc’h-Levêque et al, GOF, 2010)

  27. Programming of egg retrievals days A Guivarc’h - Levêque et al GOF 2010 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  28. Results A Guivarc’h - Levêque et al GOF 2010 Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  29. GnRH antagonist 150 IU recFSH No treatment 2 7 10.000IU hCG ET OPU Pretreatment Group B Estradiol valerate 4mg GnRH antagonist 150 IU recFSH 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 days 25 7 OPU ET 10.000IU hCG

  30. If day 25 is…. • Monday 6 days Progynova 4 mg • Tuesday 10 days Progynova 4 mg • Wednesday 9 days Progynova 4 mg • Thursday 8 days Progynova 4 mg • Friday 7 days Progynova 4 mg • Saturday 6 days Progynova 4 mg • Sunday 6 days Progynova 4 mg Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  31. Results Primary endpoint: proportion of patients undergoing an oocyte retrieval during weekend days P=0.029

  32. Results (2) Stimulation characteristics and embryological data * P-value for Student’s t test; P-values less than 0.5 are bold

  33. Results (3) Ongoing pregnancy rates * P-value for Fisher’s exact of Chi-squared test ° pregnancy outcome still awaited for 3 patients in the pretreatment group

  34. Conclusion Estradiol valerate pretreatment • allows scheduling of GnRH antagonist cycles, with a significantly lower proportion of patients undergoing OR during weekend days • without deleterious effects on the number of oocytes retrieved and the ongoing pregnancy rates

  35. Conclusion: planning is possible! Today’s protocol… Corifollitropin alfa: 1 injection GnRH antagonist GnRH antagonist Cycle day 2 5 6 9 ET OPU 10.000IU hCG Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists

  36. Conclusion: planning is possible! Or… Estradiol valerate 4mg GnRH antagonist Corifollitropin alfa: 1 injection 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – 10 days 25 7 OPU ET 10.000IU hCG Blockeel - Planning GnRH antagonists
