Clinical Trial Summary

From April 2021 to December 2021, 50 pregnant women who received intro fertilization (IVF) will be recuited. Among them, 25 of them would like to take Chinese medicine from the 2nd week after embryo transfer (intervention group), while the remaining 25 will not intake Chinese medicine (control group). Blood and feces samples will be collected in the early morning of the 4th and 6th week after embryo transfer to detect 16S DNA sequences in feces, plasma metabolites, and whole blood transcriptomics.

Description:

Investigators planned to performed a randomized trial to determine the effects of the Chinese medicine (Bushen Antai recipe) including mainly Rehmannia glutinosa used in pregnant women for fetal protection. Two groups will be recruited, Chinese medicine intervention group and control group without Chinese medicine. In the 4th and 6th week after embryo transfer, blood and fetal are sampling for metabolic and intestinal microbiota analysis.
