Filter by:To collect the outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles after the embryos are cryopreserved up to at least 1 year in Trial P05787 (NCT00696800), in order to estimate the cumulative pregnancy rate for each treatment group.
The objective of the trial is to assess the non-immunogenicity and safety of corifollitropin alfa (also known as Org 36286, SCH 900962 and MK-8962) in participants undergoing repeated COS cycles using a multiple dose GnRH antagonist protocol.
To investigate the efficacy and safety of a single injection of 150 μg Corifollitropin Alfa (Organon 36286) to induce multifollicular development for controlled ovarian stimulation using daily recombinant FSH (recFSH) as a reference. The primary hypothesis is that a single injection of Corifollitropin Alfa is non-inferior to daily treatment with recFSH in initiating multifollicular growth.
Ultrasound (US) guided embryo transfer (ET) appears to improve pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ET. Most reports are done using a transabdominal (TAS) approach, in contrast to a transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) which does not require a full bladder. We sought to determine if either approach was better with respect to clinical outcomes.
In view of insufficient evidence to routinely use Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) to improve success rates after IVF, we test the hypothesis that patients with advanced maternal age (AMA) have a higher implantation rate (IR) after embryo transfer (ET) of chromosomally normal embryos following PGS compared to patients who had an ET without PGS. In a randomized controlled trial (RCT) in patients with AMA (≥ 35 years), the clinical IR per embryo transferred will be compared after ET on day 5 or 6 between the PGS group (embryo biopsy and analysis of chromosomes 13, 16, 18, 21, 22, X and Y) and the control group without PGS.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if there is an association between the endocrine and ultrasonographic markers of ovarian reserve and the IVF outcome and to determine which markers contribute to the prediction of poor response in IVF.
To study whether addition of human LH hormone (Luveris) during the final days of stimulation with recombinant FSH (Gonal-f) for controlled ovarian stimulation will be of benefit for patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation.
Approximately 10% of all couples will be diagnosed as infertile. The most efficient infertility treatment is In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF). One major determinant for success is production of an adequate number of oocytes (eggs) from the female in order to finally have good-quality embryos and finally acceptable pregnancy and delivery rates. Some women will not respond adequately to hormonal stimulation and will only a small number of oocytes. Therefore, the chances of finally having a successful delivery are significantly reduced. Although the specific definition of this situation is controversial, these patients are diagnosed as having "low ovarian response". This condition is more prevalent in older IVF patients as part of the reproductive aging process; it is possible at any age. Currently, the understanding of "low ovarian response" is limited, and although many therapeutic approaches have been suggested, no treatment has been proven significantly efficient. DHEA is a pro-hormone produced by the adrenal gland and the ovary. DHEA serum levels become lower with age and in some chronic diseases. Therefore, some believe it may be beneficial as an 'anti-aging' factor. DHEA pills are available as a food-supplement, without need for prescription in the US. DHEA is involved in the regulation of follicular growth in the ovaries. In a 2000 report, five IVF patients who had low ovarian response were treated with oral DHEA (Casson et al, Hum Reprod 2000;15:2129). A small increase in the ovarian response to hormonal stimulation was noticed. Barad and Gleicher reported their relatively extensive experience, summarizing treatment outcome in 25 IVF low-responders treated with oral DHEA pills (Barad and Gleicher, Hum Reprod 2006; 21, 2845). They observed increased increases in fertilized oocytes, normal day 3 embryos, and number of embryos transferred after DHEA treatment compared with a previous treatment outcome before DHEA. Based on this observation, DHEA may appear useful for improving IVF outcome in some patients. However, a prospective randomized study on DHEA supplementation for IVF patients was not yet published. Our aim is to conduct such a study, focusing on IVF patient with low ovarian response.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a new medium with no human serum albumine added is as good as the media conventionally used for IVF/ICSI.
