Abstract

A methd of treating infertility disorders by 1) administering an LH-RH abtagonist, preferably Cetrorelix, in amounts to selectively suppress endogenous LH but not FSH secretion and 2) inducing follicle growth by administration of exogenous gonadotropin. The selective suppression of LH allows FSH secretion to be at natural levels thereby not affecting individual estrogen development. The LH-RH antagonist can be given as a single or dual subcutaneous dose in the range of 1 mg to 10 mg, preferably 2 mg -6 mg. In multiple dosing posology, LH-RH antagonist can be administered subcutaneously in an amount in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mg of LH-RH antagonist/day. LH-RH antagonist is applied starting cycle day 1 to 10, preferably on day 4 to 8, and ovulation can be induced between day 9 and 20 of the menstruation cycle by administering rec. LH, native LH-RH, LH-RH agonist or by HCG.

Description

The LHRH-antagonist of treatment infertility
The application makes on the basis of 60/011, No. 282 provisional application of submission on February 7th, 1996, and the content of this provisional application is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to the purposes of LHRH-antagonist, this lhrh antagonist is used for the treatment of male and female infertility.
The reason of conceived failure is considered to the result of male and female infertility.Current, there has been multiple different auxiliary procreation technology.These technology can be induced multistage, the synchronous growth of follicle, obtain fertilizable oocyte.
The therapy of standard is the multistage growth of inducing follicle by the HMG (human menopausal gonadotropin) that gives heavy dose at present.This can cause ovary too drastic.Use these technology, reach on the appropriate sophisticated basis, by giving HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) induced ovulation, to obtain the oocyte of capacity at oocyte.So can begin to carry out the preparation of clinical basic measures.Its preparation for by through the abdominal cavity or transvaginal puncture reclaim oocyte, with oocyte in vivo or external fertilization, then the embryo is resetted in the uterus again with different technologies.Usually, could begin pregnancy by extra HCG or Progesterone administration.Nowadays, this method is used for the treatment of male and female infertility clinically.
The frequent complication that occurs has in too drastic process:
A: patient's lutropin (LH) of about 25% is earliness, and precocious sudden change can take place, and follicular rupture simultaneously causes the treatment failure subsequently; B: exogenous promoting sexual gland hormone is brought out ovary and is crossed bowel syndrome, and weight person needs hospitalization and is in peril of one's life.
For avoiding precocious LH sudden change, use lhrh antagonist at present as public medicine.Give these medicines continuously,, can suppress the endogenous promoting sexual gland hormone fully by the desensitization of pituicyte and the downward modulation of endogenous gonadotropin receptor level.Secondly, by exogenous injection may command promoting sexual gland hormone level, hypophysis should not stimulated in the release of LH by improving the estradiol level.Disadvantage is 1) suppress and to reduce the required treatment phase long; 2) produce the estrogen withdrawal symptom; 3) normal menstrual cycle imbalance; 4) need often carry out hormone determination, to judge the zero-time that suppresses; 5) the excited HMG that needs heavy dose of ovary.
Too drastic syndromic pathogeny still imperfectly understands, but can think that its use with HCG is relevant, and HCG is used for induced ovulation and keep pmgravid.
A nearest research relates to the purposes (INN) of lhrh antagonist Cetrorelix.In the clinical trial of at first carrying out, short-term uses the therapy of Cetrorelix to avoid the middle early LH sudden change of excited cycle fully, and this method also need not to use HMG.This antagonist has also just been avoided the generation of exciting phase owing to suppress promoting sexual gland hormone immediately, and this just people do not wish to see, also avoided the estrogen withdrawal symptom that causes by agonist simultaneously.The persistent period of treatment also significantly shortens.In addition, studies show that,, will fully suppress precocious LH sudden change at follicle single injection antagonist in mid-term.
Although above therapeutic modality improves to some extent, still there is such defective, promptly when patient is treated, to use heavy dose of exogenous promoting sexual gland hormone probably, excessively to excite the multistage growth of follicle, this can cause some serious adverse consequences.
The present invention can reduce serious adverse consequences, improves compliance of patients, and reduces cost.Nearest Cetrorelix data also shows, is obtaining brand-new, wonderful progress aspect treatment male and the female infertility.
In the zoopery and clinical research of Cetrorelix, can cause that by multistage or single injection normal unactivated ovarian follicular growth stops.This effect observes in the very low dose level.Low dosage level is providing new possibility for controlling ovulation period in the inductive cycle normally rather than by exogenous promoting sexual gland hormone, and does not influence the viablity of ovarian follicular growth.Under relating to the inadequate situation of lhrh antagonist treatment ovarian follicular growth, the promoting sexual gland hormone of low dosage or short-term or other nutrient compounds administration meeting are carried out compensatory to these results.Secondly, stop the lhrh antagonist drug treatment after, can also normally ovulate.Perhaps, if necessary, with exogenous operating condition induced ovulation.Inducing of ovulation is the HCG by the standard of giving or gives LHRH and/or LHRH agonist analog carries out.
Unique condition that the various selections of described therapy deviate from existing protocol is that these methods are better than the sudden change with a kind of lhrh antagonist control LH.Animal and the clinical research of Cetrorelix show that hypophysis has been protected under these treatment conditions the responsiveness of LHRH or agonist analog.If do not carry out this treatment, after agonist carried out pretreatment to LH sudden change control, because the acceptor levels downward modulation, hypophysis just can not produce and reply.In addition, use the ovulation induction agent except that HCG can reduce the too drastic syndromic sickness rate of ovary.
Based on The above results, in comprising the auxiliary procreation technology of sperm injection, utilizing the inductive treatment cycle of normal, non-promoting sexual gland hormone by the mensuration ovulation period may still be for the first time, and the mensuration of ovulation period is to be determined by the persistent period of Cetrorelix administration and dosage.Especially with ICSC (sperm injection in the Cytoplasm) when method is used jointly, the therapeutic modality that antagonist relies on has been simplified the treatment of the raising fertility that sterile (subfertile) male is carried out.Owing to be direct injection male's the gamete with fertility, the success rate of this method is higher, therefore can only obtain a fertilization follicle.In addition, use lhrh antagonist can make patient avoid the serious too drastic hardship of ovary in this way, and significantly reduce the cost of treatment cycle such as Cetrorelix.
Lhrh antagonist of the present invention can use in conjunction with auxiliary procreation technology, especially the technology of external fertilization, for example fertilization and sperm injection technology in teat glass.
Chemical compound with required LHRH antagonistic activity comprises the LHRH analog, such as Ganirelix, and Antarelix, Azaline B, Ramorelix, A-76154, Nal-Glu, 88-88, especially Cetrorelix, or have the peptide of the amputated structure of LHRH antagonistic activity, or have the peptide mimics of LHRH antagonistic activity, for example D-23980 and D-24824, or a kind of bicyclo-(1-4,4-10) LHRH analog with antagonistic activity.
Lhrh antagonist of the present invention can be through subcutaneous administration, and dosage range is the 0.001-0.2 mg/kg.
There are two kinds of dosages can both prevent any precocious LH sudden change.By after these two kinds of dosiology administrations, high-quality follicle and oocyte have brought high rate of fertilization, so pregnancy rate is also higher.Up to now, by following these two kinds of therapies, the baby due of existing 44 health.
Single dose system only needs 3 milliliters of injections.This is very easily to patient.At present, prevent that the persistent period that precocious LH suddenlys change from can reach 6.5 days.Hormonal readiness monitoring is carried out in suggestion after 3 days because just in case HMG is replied when prolonging the HMG administration lower, and if the LH level raise, all to carry out second time and inject.
Multistage dosage requires inject 1 milliliter every day, injects 3 to 7 days, sometimes until 10 or 14 days.This is so convenient not as single or dual injection.But from another point of view, do not need hormonal readiness is monitored regularly, under rare occasion, if necessary, even may prolong the HCG administration.
In a word, on the medical science viewpoint, two kinds of therapies have similar effect, safety and feasibility, and therefore, each gynecologist should be able to select a kind of dosage after the concrete condition of having considered each patient.
The II clinical trial phase the results are shown in Table I.Altogether 235 patients are treated.
Do not find precocious LH sudden change in the patient who accepts the treatment of COS/ART method, this therapy adopts 0.25 milligram or higher multistage dosage, perhaps 3 milligrams or higher single dose.In multistage dosage, the average administration time of Cetrorelix is 6 days.Existing in by the end of May, 1,996 25 baby dues (7 multistage dosimetries by name; 18 are called single/dual dosimetry).
