This is a prospective randomised study of the evaluation of the clinical IVF results after time lapse assisted embryo selection versus Non-invasive PGT-A assisted embryo selection in subfertile women.
Informed decision-making regarding aneuploidy screening has been reported to be low. Poor knowledge and the lack of deliberation have been cited as reasons for uninformed choices, highlighting the need for adequate pre-test counselling. We conducted a study to assess if an educational video improves informed choice in a clinical setting where both the combined first trimester screen and non-invasive prenatal screening are offered routinely to pregnant women.
This study aims to validate the embryo culture medium analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as a faster and less-costly alternative to preimplantation genetic test for aneuploidy which could significantly enhance embryo selection and the success rate of assisted reproductive technologies.
While numerous types of commercially available human embryo culture media exist for human blastocyst culture, the impact of culture conditions on blastocyst development and aneuploidy formation is not fully understood. Culture conditions are very important for the success of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle, many of the factors involved in the process have been extensively studied. However, none of the studies investigated the effect on euploid rate in a sibling oocyte design with preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A), which requires culture till day 7. In addition, the clinical outcome (implantation) will be investigated in a frozen cycle regimen. Hence, the study will explore which day of media refreshment will result in higher rate of ploidy and would improve clinical outcomes. Investigators aim at exploring the best practice, that would empower the euploid rate through the comparison of refreshing the single-step medium on day 3 or day 5 in a sibling oocyte prospective design.
To develop a deeper understanding of endometrial-embryo crosstalk through basic research, uncover therapeutic targets and to improve reproductive outcome.
One of the most remarkable improvements in trophoectoderm cells biopsy is the robustness of diagnosis as result of analyzing multiple cells. However, there is a proportion of embryos that lack of diagnosis due to amplification failure or inconclusive results ranging between 0,4% and 6%. Information about embryo repeated biopsy after an inconclusive result in a first biopsy is very scarce. No specific conclusions can be drawn, due to the limited information currently available concerning reproductive outcomes for patients who had embryo transfer after a second biopsy, due to a first one having an inconclusive result. Investigators purpose a multicenter retrospective observational study with the aim to evaluate the reproductive potential of re-biopsied blastocyst with inconclusive results on preimplantation genetic screening for aneuploidy (PGT-A) using the implantation rate (IR) and ongoing pregnancy rate (OPR) as principal variables.
To determine the diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (NI-PGT-A) for embryo selection.
Analysis of embryonic cell-free DNA (cfDNA) present in the spent culture media (SCM) is a non-invasive alternative for preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) that avoids the technical challenges and limitations of biopsy. Initial studies investigating this non-invasive PGT-A (niPGT-A) method reported variable concordance between cfDNA in SCM and the trophectoderm sample (~ 30%-86%) and indicated a contribution from both the inner cell mass and trophectoderm to the cfDNA in SCM. This study aims to evaluate the use of the embryo culture medium as a source of genetic material for PGT-A and validate a niPGT-A protocol using cfDNA in SCM.
This study intends to randomly group the patients with advanced maternal age and poor ovarian response, and the study group will undergo polar body biopsy, and the next-generation sequencing(NGS) technology will be used to evaluate the polar body euploidy and then predict the euploidy of the oocyte. Embryo transfer priority according to the NGS test results and morphological scores. In the control group undergo routine culture and the transfer priority is determined according to the morphological score only. The transfer of frozen embryos at the cleavage or blastocyst stage was permitted. Cumulative live birth rate, miscarriage rate and time required to obtain a live birth up to two ovulatory cycles in a year.
