Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) followed by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) arm

Participants randomised to this arm will receive four cycles of IUI, followed by two completed cycles of IVF until pregnancy leading to live birth is achieved.
IUI treatment will begin at the start of the next menstrual cycle (day 1) following randomisation. IUI with oral ovarian stimulation will be given with five days of either oral clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole from cycle day 2-6. The clinicians and fertility clinics involved will determine the medication used and dose as per their normal clinic policy. The dose of Clomiphene is usually between 25mg-150mg daily and letrozole 2.5-7.5mg daily. Blood tests will be taken, and monitoring for follicular development via transvaginal ultrasound will occur, according to clinic protocol, this usually will not be more than 2-3 times per cycle. On the day of ovulation semen will be washed and prepared and then directly inserted with a catheter into the cervix.
The IUI procedure will be carried out either by a fertility clinic nurse trained in IUI or by the study co-ordinator (myself) a fertility subspecialty trainee. It will be carried out at the fertility clinics involved in the study.
If four cycles of IUI are carried out and do not lead to live birth then the patient progresses to IVF treatment.
The number of cancelled and complete cycles of IUI that have been carried out, and over what time period, will be monitored by our Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) and reported back to the trial steering committee if there are concerns. Four cycles of IUI would be expected to be complete within the primary endpoint (six/seven months from the date of randomisation).

IVF will be carried out by doctors, embryologists and nurses at the involved clinics in the standard way the clinic normal carries out an IVF cycle. The study is pragmatic in that the clinic and practitioner has autonomy over the cycle type, medication dose and follow up/progress regimen. Two completed cycles of IVF will be offered until a live birth is achieved. A completed cycle includes transfer of all available frozen embryos in subsequent cycles, using a single embryo transfer policy. All frozen embryos must be transferred prior to progressing into the second IVF cycle. The two IVF cycles would be expected to be complete within a 12/13 month time frame.

Comparator / control treatment
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) arm.

Participants randomised to this arm will receive up to two completed cycles of IVF until pregnancy leading to live birth is achieved. The first cycle of IVF will run parallel to the IUI cycles in the intervention arm and we would aim to complete this cycle within the primary endpoint (six/seven months from randomisation) (including frozen embryo transfers). Both cycles should be complete by 20 months post randomisation with follow up not extending beyond 24 months.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 320363 0
Cumulative live birth rate (CLBR), defined as any live birth conceived within 185/215 days (6/7 months) of randomisation, including live birth following a treatment cycle (including any subsequent frozen embryo replacements) and following any spontaneous pregnancy or pregnancy from off protocol treatment. Conception will be determined by a positive serum pregnancy test. Live birth is defined as birth after 20 completed weeks of gestation of a baby which breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as heart beat, umbilical cord pulsation or definite movement of voluntary muscles, irrespective of whether the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached. A birth weight of 400 grams or more can be used if gestational age is unknown. Live births are counted as birth events, for example, a twin or triplet live birth is counted as one birth event.
Timepoint [1] 320363 0
Measured at 185 days (six months) for participants randomised prior to and including 18th August 2021.
Measured at 210 days (seven months) for participants randomised after 18th August 2021.
Secondary outcome [1] 371350 0
CLBR defined as any conception leading to live birth measured at 550/610 days (18/20 months) from randomisation regardless of whether all potential treatment cycles are completed. Conception will be determined by a positive serum pregnancy test. Live birth is defined as the complete expulsion or extraction from a woman of a product of fertilization, after 20 completed weeks of gestational age; which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as heart beat, umbilical cord pulsation or definite movement of voluntary muscles, irrespective of whether the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached. A birth weight of 500 grams or more can be used if gestational age is unknown. Live births refer to the individual newborn; for example, a twin delivery represents two live births.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Yes there is allocation concealment.
Allocation concealment will be ensured, as the data system will not release the randomisation code until the couple has been recruited into the trial, which takes place after baseline measurements have been entered in the system.
The randomisation sequence will not be accessible to the recruiters.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Couples will be randomly assigned to either the IUI followed by IVF arm or the IVF arm with a 1:1 allocation using a variable block design via a web-based data system.
Masking / blinding
Open (masking not used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
Couples will be randomly assigned to either the IUI followed by IVF arm or the IVF arm with a 1:1 allocation using a variable block design via a web-based data system. The block sizes will not be disclosed, to ensure concealment.
Allocation concealment will be ensured, as the data system will not release the randomisation code until the couple has been recruited into the trial, which takes place after baseline measurements have been entered in the system.
The randomisation sequence will not be accessible to the recruiters. The study is not blinded because of the nature of the intervention. The researchers who collect data for pregnancy outcomes will be aware of the assigned intervention.

Efficacy
Statistical methods / analysis
Primary outcome (CLBR at 6 months if randomised <=18/08/2021; CLBR at 7 months if randomised >18/08/2021):
Primary analysis of CLBR will be conducted using logistic regression. The outcome of any ongoing pregnancies at 6/7 months post randomisation will be included. This will be adjusted for the stratification variables: age and centre. For the purpose of comparison with the non-inferiority margin, a risk difference will be obtained from the fitted model, by predicting risk under both allocations for each patient. A bootstrap procedure will be used to calculate the 95% confidence interval, which will be used to test the hypothesis of non-inferiority.

Secondary outcomes:
For continuous and binary outcomes, linear and logistic regression will be employed, adjusting for the stratification variables. For time to pregnancy leading to live birth, a Cox regression model will be used, and cumulative incidence will be plotted.

Subgroup analyses:
Exploratory subgroup analyses for CLBR will be performed, but the trial is not powered to this end. These will involve tests of interaction between treatment and age (<36 vs 36 or over) and between treatment and number of previous treatment attempts. These analyses will be considered hypothesis generating.

Sensitivity analyses:
Sensitivity analyses will be conducted around the missing data assumptions used in the analysis of the primary outcome (see section, Missing outcome data).

Additional analyses:
An analysis will be conducted to estimate the treatment effect adjusting for protocol violations, which includes use of off-protocol treatment and treatment switches to the other arm (anticipated to generally be in the direction IUI to IVF). This will involve censoring participants at the point of violation and performing an inverse probability of censoring weighed analysis. The covariates to include in this model will be discussed with the TSC and updated, but are anticipated to include age, site, and a prognostic score.

Safety data:
Serious adverse events will be analysed descriptively, by treatment group.

Some participants will have their treatment in the study interrupted or delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These participants will be retained in the analysis.

Summary
Brief summary
The FIIX study is a randomised controlled trial that will be carried out across NZ involving couples with unexplained infertility who are eligible for public funding. They will receive either four intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles (washed sperm placed into the uterus) or one in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycle (embryos made in the laboratory by mixing eggs with sperm) to determine if the treatments have similar live birth rates (LBR). The trial will continue to completion of public treatment for these couple (which is two IVF cycles) and compare LBR and cost at the end. Our hypothesis is that for couples with unexplained infertility, (1) four cycles of IUI is comparable to one completed cycle of IVF for CLBR and is more cost effective; and (2) four cycles of IUI followed by two cycles of IVF will result in more live births at lower total cost than two cycles of IVF alone.

Public notes
The Central Health and Disability Ethics Committee approval of amendment was received 18/02/2022 (Ethics reference: 2022 AM 8410), and in agreement with the FIIX Study Data Monitoring and Safety Committee in February 2022.

Amendment: Extend the primary endpoint from 185 to 215 days, and secondary endpoint from 550 to 610 days for all future participants and those randomised after 18th August 2021 as a result of delay in completion of treatment cycles in both arms of the trial which was evident before, and exacerbated by, Covid-19.

Justification: Covid-19 and the effects of nationwide lockdowns have had a significant impact on recruitment, randomisation, and provision of trial treatments in this study. In order to provide a meaningful comparison of the two arms of the study at the primary and secondary endpoints we need a good percentage of participants to have completed their treatment within this time frame. By extending this time by one month it allows for disruptions to treatment provision outside of the study control.
