Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
EXPERIMENTAL: Single-Dose MK-8962 + recFSH
|
MK-8962 is supplied in a ready-to-use prefilled syringe containing 100 microgram (μg) or 150 μg corifollitropin alfa per 0.5 mL. Participants are randomized to receive a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of MK-8962 in the abdominal wall on Cycle Day 2 or Cycle Day 3. Dose of administered MK-8962 is weight-based. Participants who weigh 60 kilograms (kg) or less will be given 100 μg MK-8962 and those who weigh more than 60 kg will be given 150 μg MK-8962.
Other Names:
Recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (recFSH) will be supplied as a ready-to-use solution in a 600 IU cartridge for SC injection via the recFSH Pen.
Starting on Day 2 or 3 of the menstrual cycle (Stimulation Day 1), recFSH will be administered daily, each morning, via injections in the abdominal wall.
A starting dose of between 150 - 300 IU will be administered and is fixed for the first week of stimulation.
After 6 days, and based on each participant's individual response, the Investigator may decide to reduce the fixed dose for the remainder of the study.
The maximum duration of stimulation is 19 days; recFSH will not be administered on the Day of hCG Administration.
Other Names:
0.25 mg/day SC injection in the upper leg, administered on Stimulation Day 5 up to and including Day of hCG Administration
Other Names:
Single dose of 10,000 or 5,000 IU hCG, administered via SC injection on Day of hCG Administration.
Other Names:
Crinone 8% (90 mg) gel administered intravaginally via a single-use, one piece polyethylene vaginal applicator once-daily on Day of Oocyte Pick-up or 1 day later and continued for at least 6 weeks or either up to menses or up to a negative pregnancy test performed at least 18 days after Day of Oocyte Pick-up.
