PROCHIEVE SUMMARY
Prochieve® (progesterone gel) is a bioadhesive vaginal gel containing micronized progesterone in an emulsion system, which is contained in single use, one piece polyethylene vaginal applicators. The carrier vehicle is an oil in water emulsion containing the water swellable, but insoluble polymer, polycarbophil. The progesterone is partially soluble in both the oil and water phase of the vehicle, with the majority of the progesterone existing as a suspension. Physically, Prochieve® has the appearance of a soft, white to off-white gel.
The active ingredient, progesterone, is present in either a 4% or an 8% concentration (w/w).
Assisted Reproductive Technology
Prochieve® 8% is indicated for progesterone supplementation or replacement as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology ("ART") treatment for infertile women with progesterone deficiency.
Secondary Amenorrhea
Prochieve® 4% is indicated for the treatment of secondary amenorrhea. Prochieve® 8% is indicated for use in women who have failed to respond to treatment with Prochieve® 4%.

Published Studies Related to Prochieve (Progesterone Vaginal)
[Impacts on the duration of vaginal bleeding and the levels of serum estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) for patients of midtrimester induction of labor treated with moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8)]. [2011.09]
OBJECTIVE: To verify the efficacy of moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8) on the duration of vaginal bleeding for patients with midtrimester induction of labor and explore its mechanism... CONCLUSION: Moxibustion at Guanyuan (CV 4) and Shenque (CV 8) may shorten the duration of vaginal bleeding for patients with midtrimester induction of labor. Probably through the increase of serum E2 level and the decrease of P level, the uterine contraction is effectively enhanced and the excretion of placental villi and deciduas is promoted. As a result, endometrial repair occurs rapidly.
Vaginal micronized progesterone and risk of preterm delivery in high-risk twin pregnancies: secondary analysis of a placebo-controlled randomized trial and meta-analysis. [2011.09]
OBJECTIVES: Progesterone treatment reduces the risk of preterm delivery in high-risk singleton pregnancies. Our aim was to evaluate the preventive effect of vaginal progesterone in high-risk twins... CONCLUSION: In high-risk twin pregnancies, progesterone treatment does not significantly improve outcome. Copyright (c) 2011 ISUOG. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Prevention of preterm delivery in twin gestations (PREDICT): a multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled trial on the effect of vaginal micronized progesterone. [2011.09]
OBJECTIVE: Studies on high-risk singleton gestations have shown a preventive effect of progesterone treatment on preterm delivery. This study was conducted to investigate the preventive effect of vaginal micronized progesterone in a large population of twin gestations... CONCLUSION: Progesterone treatment did not prevent preterm delivery in twin gestations. There were no harmful effects to fetuses and infants of maternal progesterone treatment.

Vaginal progesterone reduces the rate of preterm birth in women with a sonographic short cervix: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [2011.07]
OBJECTIVES: Women with a sonographic short cervix in the mid-trimester are at increased risk for preterm delivery. This study was undertaken to determine the efficacy and safety of using micronized vaginal progesterone gel to reduce the risk of preterm birth and associated neonatal complications in women with a sonographic short cervix... CONCLUSIONS: The administration of vaginal progesterone gel to women with a sonographic short cervix in the mid-trimester is associated with a 45% reduction in the rate of preterm birth before 33 weeks of gestation and with improved neonatal outcome.

Comparison of oral dydrogestrone with progesterone gel and micronized progesterone for luteal support in 1,373 women undergoing in vitro fertilization: a randomized clinical study. [2011.05]
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of oral dydrogesterone with that of micronized vaginal P gel and micronized P capsule for luteal supplementation...
Clinical Trials Related to Prochieve (Progesterone Vaginal)
Uterine Electrical Activity Before and After Progesterone Treatment for Preterm Labor [Recruiting]
This study will examine the effects of various formulations of progesterone on uterine
electromyographic (EMG) activity in pregnant patients in premature labor to determine if
progesterone will suppress uterine electrical activity and which formulation may be best for
inhibition of uterine activity. Patients will be monitored prior to treatment and following
treatment (every 2 to 4 hours) with one of three different formulations of progesterone for
up to two days. Patients will continue to be observed until they deliver. Comparisons will
be for uterine EMG activity from before treatment to that following treatments at 2, 4, 8,
12 24 and 48 hours and times of delivery after treatments (hours or days following
treatments). Comparisons between mean values for EMG activity between the various treatments
at the various times will also be made.
Comparison of Crinone 8% Intravaginal Gel and IM Progesterone Supplementation for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) [Completed]
The goal of this research study is to compare the pregnancy rates for two different types of
progesterone supplementation after in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
Vaginal Compared to Intramuscular Progesterone for Frozen Embryo Transfer [Not yet recruiting]
Comparing IM vs. Vaginal Progesterone for Pre-term Birth [Completed]
This is a randomized controlled trial comparing weekly intramuscular injection of 17 alpha
hydroxylprogesterone caproate with daily vaginal progesterone in women with singleton
pregnancies and history of prior spontaneous preterm birth in terms of maternal, fetal and
neonatal outcomes.
Our aim is to assess the effects on maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of antenatal
progesterone administered intramuscularly versus vaginally in women with singleton pregnancy
and a history of prior preterm birth.
Compare the Difference of P4 Concentration in Serum and Endometrium After Vaginal and IM P Administration [Completed]
Crinone is a micronized progesterone gel which is administrated via vaginal route and
targeted drug delivery to uterine (first uterine pass effect) with lower serum
concentration. This study is to investigate the difference of progesterone concentration in
serum and endometrium after administration with crinone and intramuscular progesterone.
The study will be conducted as a single centre, randomized, active controlled study.
Recruitment duration will be 6-8 months long. Day 1 of Crinone administration will be the
baseline. On Day 7 of Crinone administration endometrial tissue will be taken for P4 test.
Last visit will be at 3-5 days after withdraw bleeding.
