Life Specialist Hospital Ltd. Nnewi Dydrogesterone Vs Vaginal micronized progesterone for Luteal support in IVF Cycles By Ikechebelu JI, Ibadin K, Joe Ikechebelu NN, Eleje GU, Nwaefulu K, Okwelogu SA, Oguanobi C, Life Specialist Hospital Ltd. Nnewi

Introduction Luteal phase support (LPS) is an essential component of every in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle Defective corpus luteum may produce low levels of progesterone insufficient for endometrial ripening, implantation or placentation.1 The standard of care for LPS in Nigeria is presently vaginal micronized progesterone pessary. It is expected that any oral formulation with similar outcome measures like the traditional vaginal formulation will be more acceptable to our women. This is the thinking behind this observational comparative study. 1. Engmann L & Benadiva C. Semin Reprod Med. 2010; 28(6):506-12;

Dydrogesterone vs. Vaginal Progesterone Tolerability: Women prefer to use oral formulations over vaginal ones2,3 Application of vaginal tablets requires a private clean room whereas tablets can be taken orally anywhere2 In a comparative study between dydrogesterone and vaginal micronized progesterone for luteal support4 Vaginal discharge or irritation Reported by 10.5% receiving vaginal progesterone No complaints in dydrogesterone group Satisfaction with the tolerability of the treatment was significantly higher with dydrogesterone than vaginal progesterone (p < 0.05) Women prefer to use oral formulation over vaginal one, even, in the case of mifepristone, when there are gastrointestinal side effects associated with the oral fomulation.1 Oral tablets can be taken anywhere; whereas, application of vaginal tablets requires a clean private room.1 The preferred route of administration of vaginal micronized progesterone or oral dydrogesterone was reported by a study of 430 women undergoing luteal support.2. There was no difference in the rate of treatment success (pregnancy and viable delivery) between the two treatment groups. However, significantly more patients in the oral dydrogesterone group were satisfied with the tolerability of their treatment (assessed by questionnaire) than in the vaginal micronized progesterone group).2 Vaginal discharge or irritation was reported in 10.5% of patients in the vaginal micronized progesterone group experienced compared to 0% of the oral dydrogesterone group. Satisfaction with the tolerability of the treatment was significantly higher with oral compared to vaginal application (p<0.05).2 References: 1. Arvidsson C, et al.

Dydrogesterone versus Micronized Progesterone Receptor Selectivity Biological activity Dydrogesterone Progesterone Progestogenic + Anti-gonadotropic – Anti-estrogenic Estrogenic Androgenic Anti-androgenic ±* ± Glucocorticoid Anti-mineralocorticoid Dydrogesterone is selective for the progesterone receptor, avoiding other receptor‑related side effects1–4 There are several advantages to dydrogesterone over micronized progesterone. Dydrogesterone is very selective for the progesterone receptor, thereby avoiding other receptor-related side effects.1-4 In contrast to progesterone, dydrogesterone has no anti-gonadotrophic or glucocorticoid effects1 and has less pronounced anti-androgenic effects.4 Androgenic activity could result in the masculinization of a female fetus.5 However, progesterone, but not dydrogesterone or its major metabolite dihydrodydrogesterone, did exert an anti-androgenic effect by inhibiting 5α- reductase type 2 (an androgen-producing enzyme).4 Anti-androgenic activity could result in the inadequate masculinization of a male fetus, i.e. hypospadias.6 References: 1.

Dydrogesterone versus Micronized Progesterone Bioavailability and Oral Administration Dydrogesterone has ~5.6 times better oral bioavailability than progesterone1–3 Oral bioavailability Oral dose 100–300 mg progesterone 28% dydrogesterone When comparing oral dydrogesterone to oral micronized progesterone, dydrogesterone has over 5.6 times better oral bioavailability and requires a 10–20 times lower oral dose, regarding endometrial transformation.1–3 Orally administered micronized progesterone shows a wide variation in absorption and bioavailability, even within a single individual.1 These differences with dydrogesterone translate into clinical benefits.4–6 References: 1.

Study Objective To compare the pregnancy outcome with the use of oral dydrogesterone for luteal phase support to the present standard of care vaginal micronized progesterone pessary in In-vitro fertilization cycles.

Methodology Recruitment for self ovum cycle: Women with Day 2–5 follicle-stimulating hormone level of ≤10 iu/l Down regulation – Long Protocol with Buserelin 0.5mg daily from day 21 of previous cycle. Reduced to 0.25mg from day of stimulation. Stimulation Protocol – Menopour 150 – 300mg daily Follicle monitoring by transvaginal ultrasound [days 5, 8 and 11] Trigger – HCG 10,000 iu on day 11 or 12.

Methodology Luteal Phase Support: Women were allotted to 2 groups [computer generated random numbers] A : Dydrogesterone 20mg daily (10mg BD) B : Micronized Vaginal Progesterone 400mg daily from OCR day for 14 days post ET (day 3 transfer of 1-4 embryos) and continued to 14 weeks if pregnancy is confirmed. Pregnancy test performed with blood and urine on day 14 post ET Transvaginal ultrasound 4-6 weeks post ET to confirm pregnancy and fetal heart presence.

A comparative study of dydrogesterone and micronized progesterone for luteal phase support during in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles. Gynecol Endocrinol. 2016;32(3):213-7. doi: 10.3109/09513590.2015.1110136. Epub 2015 Nov 20. Saharkhiz N1, Zamaniyan M1, Salehpour S1, Zadehmodarres S1, Hoseini S1, Cheraghi L2, Seif S3, Baheiraei N4. Abstract A total of 210 women (aged 20-40 years old) with a history of infertility, who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation for fresh intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer cycles, were included in the study. Consequently, they were randomized to receive LPS with dydrogesterone 20 mg twice daily (n = 96) or micronized progesterone 400 mg twice daily at the day of oocyte retrieval (n = 114). The clinical success rate (31% versus 33%; p = 0.888), miscarriage rate (5.0% versus 3.0%; p = 0.721), ongoing pregnancy rate (30.0% versus 30.0%; p = 1.000), implantation (22.0% versus 24.0%; p = 0.254) and multiple pregnancy rate (5.30% versus 7.20%; p = 0.394) were comparable among the two groups. Serum progesterone levels were significantly lower among the patients receiving dydrogesterone than the control group (13.62 ± 13.83 ng/ml versus 20.66 ± 18.09 ng/ml; p = 0.001). However, there was no statistically significant difference regarding the patients' satisfaction (p = 0.825) and tolerability (0.790) between the two groups. Our results showed that oral dydrogesterone (40 mg/day) is as effective as vaginal micronized progesterone considering its clinical outcomes and patients' satisfaction and tolerability, for LPS among women undergoing IVF.

Conclusion Oral dydrogesterone for LPS has improved pregnancy rates at a reduced cost of medications when compared to vaginal micronized progesterone Dydrogesterone is safe, efficacious and cost effective for LPS in gonadotropin stimulated IVF cycles
