PAPP-A and IGF-1 are biochemical markers of early placental function, and reduced levels have been linked to preeclampsia and other adverse outcomes. These markers may therefore provide insight into the pathways underlying the distinct risk profile of PC-FET.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION<\/jats:title>\n This is a secondary analysis from a randomized controlled trial investigating estradiol and progesterone concentrations in FET treatments. The trial was conducted at Copenhagen University Hospital\u2014Herlev, Denmark, from April 2021 to December 2024. Biochemical analyses for PAPP-A and IGF-1 were performed on stored biobank samples from the trial. The main analyses included women with ongoing pregnancies (n\u2009=\u2009116), while additional analyses of IGF-1 were conducted in all ovulatory women with available biobank samples (n\u2009=\u2009193).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n PARTICIPANTS\/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS<\/jats:title>\n Eligible participants were women aged 18\u201340\u2009years with BMI \u226435\u2009kg\/m2 undergoing frozen-thawed autologous blastocyst transfer. Ovulatory women were randomized to mNC or PC, and anovulatory women to gSC or PC. Samples were collected at the following 7 timepoints throughout treatment: on the 2nd or 3rd day of menstrual bleeding, on the day of trigger\/endometrial thickness \u22657\u2009mm, on the day of embryo transfer and by gestational ages (GA) 4\u2009+\u20092, 6\u2009+\u20090, 8\u2009+\u20090, and 9\u2009+\u20096. Data on placental weight were collected at delivery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE<\/jats:title>\n The present analyses included women with ongoing pregnancies from the parent trial: 43 in the ovulatory mNC group, 42 in the ovulatory PC group, 16 in the anovulatory gSC group, and 15 in the anovulatory PC group. PC had substantially lower IGF-1 concentrations from treatment initiation through GA 8\u2009+\u20090 compared to both mNC and gSC. Ovulatory women treated with PC showed significantly lower PAPP-A concentrations during endometrial preparation (7.4 vs 8.7 mU\/l; adjusted P\u2009=\u20090.02), at embryo transfer (6.7 vs 8.8 mU\/l; adjusted P\u2009&lt;\u20090.001), and GA 4\u2009+\u20092 (7.2 vs 8.5 mU\/l; adjusted P\u2009=\u20090.03) than women treated with mNC. Among anovulatory women, PAPP-A concentrations were also reduced during endometrial preparation (5.8 vs 9.1 mU\/l; adjusted P\u2009=\u20090.008) in PC compared to gSC.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION<\/jats:title>\n As this was a secondary analysis, no formal power calculation was made, and statistical power may therefore be limited.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS<\/jats:title>\n We provide evidence that PC-FET was followed by lower IGF-1 concentrations in early pregnancy and by time-dependent reductions in PAPP-A compared to mNC-FET and gSC-FET. These findings suggest alterations in early placental biology that may contribute to the adverse obstetric risk profile associated with PC-FET. Future studies should clarify whether these changes are related to the use of oral estradiol and whether alternative administration routes could modify this risk.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n STUDY FUNDING\/COMPETING INTEREST(S)<\/jats:title>\n The trial was funded by Gedeon Richter Nordics AB, including analysis of biobank samples (grant numbers DK-2019-04, DK-2022-03, DK-2023-08, DK-2023-06, DK-2024-08). The trial also received one grant from the Gangsted-Rasmussen Foundation (grant number A39784) and a grant was obtained from the local research board at Copenhagen University Hospital\u2014Herlev.
