NCT06150703
The development of stimulation protocols for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) has led to a paradox. It has now been established that obtaining a large number of oocytes is a key to success, but that it is also a risk factor for embryo transfer failure after puncture (disruption of endometrial receptivity due to luteal insufficiency) and a risk factor for complications such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS).
NCT06604091
Previous studies have shown that compared with infertile women without adenomyosis, the clinical pregnancy rate, live birth rate and continuous pregnancy rate of women with adenomyosis significantly reduce, and the abortion rate obviously increased. However, these studies lack a definite classification of adenomyosis, so the true effect of adenomyosis with different severity on pregnancy outcomes are not clear. Our research team intends to collect clinical data of infertility patients with adenomyosis receiving IVF and the detailed classification of adenomyosis according to MUSA criteria. Finally, we can have an objective recognition of adenomyosis on pregnancy outcomes, which also bring benefits to evidence-based clinical practice.
NCT06367985
Capacitation in-vitro maturation (CAPA-IVM) has recently been advanced in culturing oocytes from the germinal vesicle (GV) stage following mild or no controlled ovarian stimulation. Recent research suggested that O2 concentration may significantly regulate oocyte maturation and early embryo development through hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF). Nonetheless, it has been challenging to create the environmental culture conditions for addressing the optimal number of oocytes and the highest possibility of embryo development since consensus on the oxygen (O2) concentration index in the IVM culture environment has not been reached. Based on the outcomes of atmospheric O2 concentration (20%) and low O2 concentration (5%) during CAPA-IVM culture in mice, it has been hypothesized that a 5% O2 was the optimal culture condition for the pre-IVM step. A 20% O2 was more suitable for the IVM culture step. Therefore, this study is designed to enhance the CAPA-IVM culture system, improving treatment efficiency and providing various benefits for patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology.
NCT07007416
This prospective observational study aimed to evaluate the effects of supraphysiological estradiol (E2) levels, induced by gonadotropin therapy during IVF, on cardiac electrophysiological parameters. Sixty-two women aged 18-40 undergoing IVF treatment at Konya City Hospital between December 2024 and January 2025 were included. ECG recordings were performed twice: once before gonadotropin stimulation and again on the day of hCG administration, when peak E2 levels were expected. Routine blood tests and hormone levels were also evaluated. Patients with obesity, cardiovascular disease, chronic illness, or medication use were excluded. After treatment, significant increases were observed in PR interval, J-Tpeak, QTc, and Tp-e values. E2 changes showed a moderate negative correlation with QTc and a low positive correlation with J-Tpeak. The results suggest that elevated E2 levels during IVF may affect cardiac electrophysiology, highlighting the need for careful monitoring in women with cardiac risk factors.
NCT06990685
With the decreasing of birth rate and population in our country, population problem has become a long-term and strategic problem. In addition to the decrease in the number of women of childbearing age and the impact of unmarried women, the increase in the incidence of reproductive disorders and the delay of marriage and childbearing are also important factors leading to the continuous decline of the birth population in China. Among them, ovarian aging is a key factor causing female fertility difficulties. Therefore, establishing an effective prevention and treatment strategy for ovarian aging is of great significance for improving female reproductive health and serving the national population strategy. Recently, several supplements have been found to promote folliculogenesis and improve oocyte quality. However, to date, there is no approved therapeutic agent for the treatment of ovarian aging. Therefore, it is urgent to develop effective strategies for the prevention and treatment of ovarian aging. Salidroside is the main active component of Chinese medicine Rhodiola, and its content is highest in the root of rhodiola, which is also the main medicinal part. The main efficacy of salidroside in traditional Chinese medicine is to benefit qi, promote blood circulation, unblock pulse and relieve asthma. At the same time, in basic research, more and more experiments have shown that salidroside has a variety of pharmacological properties, including anti-hypoxia, anti-fatigue and anti-aging effects, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, antiviral and so on. These pharmacological effects suggest that salidroside may be an effective drug for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, pneumonia and other diseases. In terms of aging, it has been confirmed that salidroside supplementation can prolong the life span of pseudogill oryzias zhan and rescue premature aging of human skin fibroblasts, etc., which further confirms. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of salidroside as an adjuvant drug in improving the pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer in high childbearing age patients with poor ovarian response by comparing the pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer between salidroside group and blank control group. This pragmatic clinical study is expected to improve pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer cycles in women of advanced childbearing age with poor ovarian response.
NCT06741748
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the direct warming method for frozen embryo transfers (FET) can improve live birth and pregnancy outcomes in women aged 18-45 undergoing IVF treatments. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the direct warming method achieve a similar or higher clinical success rate for FET compared to the conventional multi-step method? * Is the direct warming method more cost-effective than the conventional method? Researchers will compare the direct warming method to the conventional multi-step method to see if the former leads to better pregnancy outcomes and reduced procedural time. Participants will: * Undergo either the one-step or conventional embryo thawing procedure. * Complete standard clinical follow-ups for pregnancy, including ultrasound scans and pregnancy tests.
NCT06261671
One of the most sensible factors in IVF culture conditions is the susceptibility of gametes and embryos to an induced increase in reactive oxidative species (ROS) caused by the artificial environment. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using antioxidant-supplemented media during culture to evaluate embryo ploidy rates in a prospective randomized trial using sibling oocytes.
NCT06624683
To evaluate the effectiveness of warm-water footbaths in enhancing pregnancy rates during IVF and to explore the underlying mechanisms involved.
NCT06521957
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can improve psychological, neurological, and hormonal aspects in women undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is CBT effective in improving psychological aspects (anxiety, depression, and coping mechanism) in women undergoing IVF? * Is CBT effective in improving neuroendocrine aspects (cortisol levels, neuroepinephrine levels, free trioodothyronine levels) in women underoing IVF? Researchers will compare CBT to no intervention to see if CBT is effective in improving psychoneuroendocrine aspects.
NCT00696878
The objective of the trial is to assess the non-immunogenicity and safety of corifollitropin alfa (also known as Org 36286, SCH 900962 and MK-8962) in participants undergoing repeated COS cycles using a multiple dose GnRH antagonist protocol.
NCT05402605
Poor ovarian response (POR) remains one of the significant challenges of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Facing difficulties related to clinical practice, optimizing the embryo culture process is necessary to improve the embryo number and quality in this group of patients. Potential techniques mentioned in the current literature include follicular size at trigger, dual trigger, artificial oocyte activation (AOA), blastocyst transfer, and the role of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). AOA is currently expected to improve treatment outcomes in poor ovarian responders with the potential for clinical efficacy. However, this issue has not been evaluated before.
NCT02222831
The aims of this study are to evaluate: 1. the possible effect of time-lapse culture from day zero (day of oocyte retrieval) on fertilisation rates and embryo quality in standard IVF. 2. the association between PIF status in embryo culture medium and embryo quality assessed by standard subjective parameters and morphokinetic development.
NCT00702351
To evaluate the induction of multiple follicular growth after single dose administration of 100 μg or 150 μg Org 36286 in a long protocol of GnRH agonist.
NCT01614067
In couples with infertility secondary to Diminished Ovarian Reserve, the investigators hypothesize that a delayed start (7 day) to ovarian stimulation with an GnRH antagonist (Ganirelix) will improve oocyte maturation and quality, and improve pregnancy outcomes.
NCT04122729
This project wants to determinate whether there is a relationship between the N680S polymorphism genotype of the FSHR gene and the nature of the FSH used in controlled ovarian stimulation. It is a non-interventional, observational, cross-sectional and retrospective, national and multicenter study, in which a genetic test will be carried out to determine the genotype of the N680S polymorphism in samples of blood of patients who have undergone two cycles of controlled ovarian stimulation in the last 8 months.

This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Reproductive Endocrinology and Invitro Fertilization (REI) unit of our hospital, following the approval of the hospital's ethics committee. Patients who underwent gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment were enrolled in the study. During oocyte retrieval, follicular fluids of mature follicles (≥18 mm) were collected and pooled for each patient. The thiobarbituric acid method was used for the sialic acid levels and the absorbance values were measured by a spectrophotometer at 549 nm.
NCT03064061
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a session of virtual reality (VR) with the objective of lowering the anxiety level on the clinical pregnancy rate following an In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure. Indeed, anxiety in relation to infertility happens frequently and over time, can become stressful for our patients. This level of stress influences the effect of the infertility treatment. Reducing anxiety levels could promote the ability of the patients to face this stress and promote a greater chance of pregnancy in that context.
