1 Effects of HCG and LH on ovarian stimulation Are they bioequivalent?
2 Know the type of gonadotrophin required to have enough oocytes of good quality to achieve a healthy child FSH MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY MINIMIZE RISK IVF Rob Gilchrist courtesy, adapted
3 Pleiotropic effects of gonadotrophins rescue follicle(s) from atresia : recruitment Influence steroid balance : A-E-P Effect on ovary Effect on implantation Diverse effect in total body : Risks : OHSS 3
4 ART treatment pursues several goals at once Focus on ovary : many mature follicles Endometrium development Implantation window Minimum of side effects Can all these goals be reconciled? CLEAR TREND TO SEGMENTATION 4
5 Objectives of the lecture LH and hcg: functions, mechanisms of action, available formulations ( hmg & HP-hMG) LH and hcg: understanding the differences Defining optimal LH levels Results from the daily practice 5

11 Origin of hcg in HP-hMG Pituitary gonadotrophs produce hcg Up to 1/3 of follicular-stage LH activity may derive from hcg in a natural cycle 1 Lack of E 2 feedback during menopause/ovarian failure increases pituitary hcg production 2,3 Pituitary hcg and placental/urinary hcg are largely similar, according to 4 : Amino acid analysis Mass spectrometric studies 1.

13 The purification process and why hcg is in HP-hMG Postmenopausal pituitary cells secrete gonadotropin into the body s circulation, where it is filtered and excreted by the kidneys During purification, LH is sequentially moved away from hcg, resulting in 3 fractions Final chromatography step Fraction 1 FSH, little LH Fraction 3 hcg Fraction 2 FSH, LH, and hcg Fraction 1 is then combined with the other 2 fractions to reach a 1:1 ratio of FSH and LH activity, as measured by bioassay, producing HP-hMG HP-hMG is human-derived FSH with approximately 10 IUs of hcg driving the majority of the 75 IUs of LH activity. 13
14 HP-hMG is NOT hmg Source of various gonadotropins since hmg 2 hmg 2 hmg 2 rfsh 2 HP-hMG 2 LH (IU/vial) hcg (IU/vial) Approximately 95% of the LH bioactivity in HP-hMG is provided by hcg 3 1.

15 Conclusions The gonadotropin content of HP-hMG is distinct from hmg HP-hMG is a highly purified product derived from the urine of postmenopausal women suitable for SC injection the majority of the LH activity is "hcg-driven" 15

22 Therefore, on camp: Higher in vitro potency of hcg vs LH (about 5-fold, extractive or recombinant, any cell model) Faster maximal response after LH vs hcg (10 min vs. 60 min, COS7-LHCGR and hglc) LH and hcg act with different potency and kinetics Molecular effects are not SIMILAR Signal transduction / gene expression

26 Conclusions of in vitro experiments : LH and hcg are NOT equivalent in vitro LH and hcg are biochemically different HCG is more active than LH in activation of the camp pathway and steroidogenesis LH is more active than HCG in perk and pakt activation LH and hcg both potentiate FSH action

39 Conclusion: does an LH ceiling exist during ovarian stimulation? No negative effects on pregnancy outcomes seen up to exogenous 150 IU hcg per day No negative effects on pregnancy outcomes seen with >1300 IU added rlh (Hugues et al. 2005;20(3): ) Exogenous sources of LH activity do not appear to have the same negative impact on ovarian stimulation as does pathologically elevated endogenous LH 39

43 MERiT endocrinology A published report of the MERiT study investigated the endocrine status of study subjects during IVF with HP-hMG vs rfsh Blood samples were obtained on days 1 and 6 of stimulation, last stimulation day, and at oocyte retrieval Follicular fluid was collected at retrieval from at least 1 follicle of 17 mm from which an oocyte had been retrieved Smitz J et al.

47 Results: embryo quality P=0.044 In the HP-hMG group, 11.3% of embryos assessed were top-quality, versus 9% with rfsh (P=0.044), as assessed by local embryologists Ziebe S et al. Hum Reprod. 2007;22(9):
48 Conclusions Evidence suggests that exogenous LH activity does not have the same negative impact on outcomes as does pathologically elevated endogenous LH In the MERiT study, HP-hMG treatment resulted in: Comparable pregnancy outcomes vs rfsh Endocrine profile differed at the end of stimulation higher E 2 and lower P 4 with hmg Fewer oocytes retrieved but a greater proportion of top-quality embryos vs rfsh Day 6 serum hcg levels but NOT LH levels were correlated with pregnancy outcomes 48
49 Quid with rlh? Evidence suggests that exogenous rlh activity does not have the same impact on outcomes as does the hcg in HP-hMG No improved outcomes when systematically added to rfsh Only tendency of improved outcome in : Older patients Poor responders Effect in poor responders (?) 49

53 General Conclusions exogenous LH bioactivity supplementation does not have the same negative impact on outcomes as elevated endogenous LH hcg and LH are different molecules, with a different in-vitro and in-vivo effect Half-life in circulation Binding to receptor Post-receptor triggering hcg low dose therapy in combination with FSH (HP-hMG) influences the ovarian hormone profiles, reduces the amount of small follicles (with incompetent oocytes / embryos ) Is correlated with a favourable safety profile in ART 53
