Linzagolix in Adenomyosis and Recurrent Implantation Failure (LINZA-RIF)
Efficacy of Linzagolix 200 mg for 3 to 6 Months Prior to Embryo Transfer in Patients With Adenomyosis and Recurrent Implantation Failure: A Prospective Case Series
Adenomyosis is associated with impaired endometrial receptivity and reduced implantation rates in assisted reproduction, even when using high-quality embryos. Linzagolix (Yselty, 200 mg) is an oral GnRH receptor antagonist approved for uterine fibroids with a favourable tolerability profile and rapid elimination half-life (18-20 hours) compared to GnRH agonists.
This prospective case series evaluates the efficacy of linzagolix 200 mg administered for 3 to 6 months prior to embryo transfer in patients with confirmed adenomyosis and recurrent implantation failure (RIF), defined as ≥2 failed transfers with high-quality blastocysts (≥BB Gardner in oocyte donation, or PGT-A confirmed euploid in autologous cycles).
The primary endpoint is the live birth rate (LBR) per embryo transfer. Secondary endpoints include clinical pregnancy rate, miscarriage rate, morphological response of adenomyosis (uterine volume and junctional zone [JZ] thickness assessed by standardised transvaginal ultrasound), and tolerability profile. The study also explores the optimal treatment duration (3 vs 6 months) as a sub-analysis based on morphological response at the month-3 visit.
The study is conducted at three centres of Vida Fertility Institute (Madrid, Alicante and San Sebastián, Spain). Sample size: n=35 patients. Study duration: 24 months.

Detaljeret beskrivelse
BACKGROUND:
Current standard of care for adenomyosis prior to embryo transfer in RIF patients consists of GnRH agonist therapy (triptorelin depot) for 1-3 months, with or without letrozole. This approach requires intramuscular administration, is associated with intense vasomotor symptoms, and has a prolonged pharmacological residual effect (4-6 weeks) that complicates cycle planning. No prospective study has evaluated linzagolix in this specific clinical scenario.
DESIGN:
Prospective before-after case series. Each patient serves as her own historical control (prior failed transfers under standard care vs outcome after linzagolix treatment). Treatment duration (3 or 6 months) is determined by morphological response at the month-3 ultrasound visit. Endometrial preparation is initiated 7 days after the last dose of linzagolix.
ULTRASOUND PROTOCOL:
Standardised transvaginal ultrasound measurements at each visit: uterine volume (L x AP x T x 0.523 cm3), junctional zone maximum (mm), junctional zone minimum (mm) and junctional zone difference (mm). All measurements performed in strict sagittal plane with ≥7 MHz transvaginal probe.
VASOMOTOR SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT:
Standardised non-estrogenic supplementation protocol (Cimicifuga racemosa 20 mg, Remifemin) if EVA score ≥4 for hot flushes or insomnia. Suspended simultaneously with the last dose of linzagolix.
REGULATORY FRAMEWORK:
Observational study with medicinal products (EOMF) under Spanish Royal Decree 957/2020. Use of linzagolix in this indication is off-label. Study approved by CEIm del Hospital Clinico San Carlos, Madrid.

Linzagolix 200 mg - Adenomyosis and RIF
Patients with confirmed adenomyosis and recurrent implantation failure (2 or more failed embryo transfers with high-quality blastocysts: grade BB or above in oocyte donation cycles, or PGT-A confirmed euploid in autologous cycles) receiving linzagolix 200 mg orally once daily for 3 to 6 months prior to embryo transfer.
Treatment duration is determined by morphological response assessed at the month-3 transvaginal ultrasound visit.
