  • *Safety blood samples taken as clinical routine during the cancer treatment are recorded in the eCRF. Safety blood samples at baseline and EoT will be assessed as part of the study.

  • †Research samples including AMH, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), inhibin, estradiol and LH.

  • ‡Only at years 1 and 5 of follow-up.

  • §Antral follicle counts and ovarian Doppler flow.

  • ¶Subjects randomised to treatment GnRHa will receive intramuscular injection(s) of triptorelin, 3.75 mg/month or 11.25 mg/3 months covering the duration of the gonadotoxic chemotherapy, subjects randomised to placebo will receive intramuscular injection(s) of placebo (NaCl 0.9%).
