Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Ongoing Pregnancy Rate With OXO-001 in IVF/ICSI With Donor Oocytes.

Assisted reproductive techniques are the most common procedures to fulfill the desire for pregnancy in infertile women. Unfortunately, more than half of the assisted reproduction cycles result in implantation failure or early pregnancy loss, the two main causes of infertility and the most important unmet medical need in the field of infertility with current treatments.

This clinical trial aims to test the capacity of OXO-001 to enhance embryo implantation. It is a phase II, randomised, double-blind, parallel-group, placebo-controlled trial that will assess the ongoing pregnancy rate with OXO-001 (200 mg, 300 mg) or placebo at 10 weeks following fresh single blastocyst transfer resulting from donor oocyte IVF/ICSI.

Inclusion criteria

• Voluntary informed consent.
• Infertile female subjects indicated for egg donor programme in the context of ART.
• Subjects aged ≥ 18 to ≤ 45 years at screening.

• Planned transfer of a fresh single blastocyst from a donated egg.
• Good quality sperm.
• Planned endometrial preparation and luteal support.

Exclusion criteria

• History of two or more failed in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) / intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles after embryo transfer of donor oocyte during the last attempts prior to the trial.
• Gynaecological abnormality relevant to the ART procedure and outcome, which in the opinion of the investigator could interfere with the trial objectives.
• Abnormal haemorrhage of the reproductive tract of undetermined origin.
• Endometrial biopsy or endometrial local injury within one month prior to screening.
• Diagnosis of severe endometriosis and/or adenomyosis.
• Positive hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody or human immunodeficiency virus results.
• Relevant clinically significant abnormality in the results of safety laboratory tests at screening.

• Any condition or treatment that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardise the trial conduct according to the protocol.
• Previous treatment with the IP of this trial at any time or participation in another clinical trial within the past 3 months prior to screening.
• Employees of the investigator or trial centre, with direct involvement in the proposed trial or other studies under the direction of that investigator or trial centre, as well as family members of the employees or the principal investigator.
