Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 81
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This is an open-label, parallel-group, randomized, multicenter Phase III trial to compare the efficacy and safety of a single 250 microgram (mcg) subcutaneous dose of MSJ-0011 to a single 5,000 international units (IU) intramuscular dose of urinary human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in inducing ovulation in Japanese women diagnosed with anovulation or oligo-ovulation. Ovulation induction therapy will be undertaken with follitropin alfa. The primary objective is to show that MSJ-0011 is non-inferior to urinary hCG, as assessed by the ovulation rate.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: None arm 2: None

Interventions: intervention 1: MSJ-0011 intervention 2: urinary hCG (u-hCG) intervention 3: Follitropin alpha
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Subjects who underwent ovarian stimulation with follitropin alfa according to a low-dose step-up protocol for maximum of 28 days will receive a single dose of 250 microgram (mcg) MSJ-0011 (choriogonadotropin alfa \[recombinant human Chorionic Gonadotropin, r-hCG\]) subcutaneously (SC) within 32 hours after the last dose of follitropin alfa administration unless dominant follicle reached a mean diameter of greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 millimeter (mm); not more than 3 follicles each with a mean diameter of \>=16 mm and serum Estradiol (E2) level within an acceptable range for the number of follicle present, and not more than 2,000 picogram per milliliter (pg/mL). intervention 2: Subjects who underwent ovarian stimulation with follitropin alfa according to a low-dose step-up protocol for maximum of 28 days will receive a single dose of 5,000 IU u-hCG intramuscularly dose within 32 hours after the last dose of follitropin alfa administration unless dominant follicle reached a mean diameter of \>=18 mm; not more than 3 follicles each with a mean diameter of \>=16 mm and serum E2 level within an acceptable range for the number of follicle present, and not more than 2,000 pg/mL. intervention 3: Low-dose step-up protocol involves starting dose of follitropin alfa as 75 International Units (IU) subcutaneously per day ,increments by 37.5 IU every 7 days (Day 8, 15, 28) will be done if no ovarian response will be observed for maximum of 28 days.
