Clinical Trial Summary

SEGOVA procedure includes - Stem cell therapy, G - Growth factor Platelet Plasma Rich therapy and in Vitro Activation of the ovaries.


Clinical Trial Description

The current study seeks to demonstrate how integrative ovarian rejuvenation program called SEGOVA influence the restoration of hormone stability and increase in the number of follicles in ovarian failure patients. The recruitment of patients and data collection would be performed at three sites: The Special Hospital Jevremova Belgrade, Saint James Hospital Malta, and Remedica Skopje Hospital, Macedonia. A 50-100 of Infertile women with ovarian failure will be included in the period between July 2019 - December 2021. The patients would be coded when entering the program, and all personal information would be protected. Information about medical treatment and background will be held on both paper and electronic case report forms.The result of the procedure will be maintained in the research database with blinding to clinical physician that will perform post procedure follow-up of those patients. In case of a complication, possibly related to treatment, the case will be unblinded.

The first day of procedure, autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) is obtained from 100-120 mL of whole blood. After separation 4 mL of PRP is obtained. Concentration of platelets is optimised on 6-8x baseline and 2-3x leucocytes baseline. For activation of PRP autologous thrombin is used in ratio 1:10.

On the same day the laparoscopic cortical resection of the ovary is performed in standard technique. Ovarian cortex sample is minced in a petri dish.The volume of activated PRP (4 mL) is mixed with ovarian fragments and incubated for the next 48h at 37℃ and 5% CO2. After 48h, the bone marrow sampling from tibia under general anesthesia is performed to obtain bone marrow. After centrifugation the Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) with nucleated cells is obtained (3 +/- 1,5 mL).

Finally, after the 48h has passed from ovarian cortex tissue incubation, fragmented tissue of the ovary with 4 mL of PRP will be injected together with 3 +/- 1.5 mL BMAC into the subcortical region of the both ovaries as transvaginal ultra sound guided injection.

After the procedure, during one year follow up, hormone levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH),estradiol (E2), progesterone (PG) and anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) would be measured and the follicle numbers would be monitored to provide insight regarding the ovarian function.To investigate the changes in hormone levels, comparisons of the levels detected prior to the intervention, and 3, 6 and 12 months post-intervention, would be performed using Wilcoxon's rank test. Descriptive statistics will be provided for each variable as mean or median number, frequency, percentage, table or graph.

In patients with oocytes retrieved after SEGOVA procedure, standard In Vitro Fertilization protocol would be performed,and fertilization, cleavage and clinical pregnancy rates will be monitored. ;
