Efficacy of Oocyte Activation With Two Types of Ca2+ Ionophore.

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a prospective ranzomized analysis including 372 human oocytes from 44 women. Half of the oocytes from the same patient will be randomly allocated to induce oocyte activation using two protocols: in protocol nº 1 we will use ionomycin (prepared solution), protocol nª2 A23187 (GM508 CultActive Gynemed) will be applied. Non treated oocytes will serve as control. Oocyte fertilization rates, embryo development and embryo quality will be analyzed. Obstetrics variables of offspring will be also followed and compared.

Clinical Trial Description

Background: Oocyte non-activation (OAD) is the main cause of fertilization failure in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles. Oocyte activation involves a series of consecutive events that take place in the oocyte during fertilization, triggered by the action of sperm-specific phospholipase C zeta (PLCz) that causes an increase in the amount of free Ca2+. This increase, as well as its transient elevations in space and time, is species-specific. Defects in this pattern of Ca2+ release and oscillation are attributed to most cases of OAD. Several strategies have been described and applied to achieve artificial oocyte activation (AOA), which use mechanical, electrical, or chemical stimuli, among which the use of calcium ionophores such as ionomycin and A23187 (calcimycin) predominates. Documented fertilization and pregnancy rates appear to be improved in patients with previous low fertilization rates or total fertilization failures after using ICSI-AOA compared to conventional ICSI. However, the lack of well-designed studies, the heterogeneity of the population undergoing AOA, and the scarcity of results comparing different AOA protocols make it difficult to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the technique. Study question: In patients with prior fertilization failure or low fertilization rates (30% or less), does AOA improve reproductive outcomes compared to conventional ICSI in patients with prior fertilization failure? and if it does, which protocol is more efficient? ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
