Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to investigate the role of uNK cells and the association with prednisolone.

Description:

Glucocorticoids prednisolone is considered as a potential therapy in women with recurrent miscarriage. However, the evidence for treatment with prednisolone is still inconclusive and the relevant mechanism merits further investigations. The participants will be invited to take prednisolone oral 10 mg/day and attend our outpaitent clinic to be performed endometrial biopsy.
