Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the MIRI-TL time-lapse incubator and CultureCoin dish compared to standard big-box incubators and standard culture dishes used for embryo culture.

Description:

Following randomization and standard ovarian stimulation protocols to obtain a sufficient number of mature (MII) oocytes, these oocytes will be fertilized by Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). If a patient has been randomized to the study group, all inseminated oocytes and subsequently all fertilized diploid (2PN) zygotes will be placed in the CultureCoin and then into the MIRI-TL Time-lapse incubator and cultured as per normal protocol to the blastocyst stage (Day 5/6 or 7). Top quality blastocyst(s) will be transferred and monitored for implantation, pregnancy and ongoing birth. Embryo transfers will either occur in a fresh or frozen embryo transfer cycle.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With a Positive bHCG Level as Detected by a Blood Test	Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hormone made by cells formed in the placenta) are detected by a blood test. An hCG level >50mIU/mL is considered to be a successful pregnancy.	14 days after embryo transfer
Secondary	Number of Patients With Embryo Implantation	Presence of Gestational Sac by ultrasound indicates a positive pregnancy.	28 days
Secondary	Embryo Development	Blastocyst Utilisation Rate (number of fertilised embryos which develop to usable blastocysts)	7 days
