Vaginal Culture Using INVOcell Compared to Traditional IVF Incubation

Infertility Clinical Trial

Official title: Randomized Controlled Open-Label Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Day 5 Embryos Derived From Intravaginal Culture Using the Medical Device INVOcell to Traditional In Vitro Fertilization

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate intravaginal culture using the medical device INVOcell to generate day 5 blastocysts in comparison to traditional IVF.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a Phase III, single center, open label randomized comparative trial to evaluate intravaginal culture using INVOcell vs. traditional IVF to generate day 5 embryos Pilot: 40 couples (80 patients), randomized to receive either intravaginal culture (n=20) using the INVOcell or traditional IVF (n=20) Primary Endpoints: Blastocyst generation rate: number of day 5 embryos of "good quality" defined as 2BB or greater (expansion of embryo 2,3,4,5 or 6 and inner cell mass and outer cell mass grades of A or B) or higher using the Gardner Grading System divided by the number of eggs incubated Patient acceptability of INVOcell and intravaginal culture.

Secondary Endpoints: Live birth rate: number of cycles with a live birth divided by the number of cycles with embryo transfers.

Clinical pregnancy rate: number of cycles with fetal heartbeat at week 7 divided by the number of cycles with embryo transfers.

Fertilization rate: Number of embryos obtained after incubation divided by the number of oocytes placed in the device.

Embryo transfer rate: Number of cycles initiated divided by the number of cycles with embryo transfers Miscarriage rate: Number of miscarriages divided by the number of cycles with embryo transfers Multiple rate: Number cycles with twins or triplets divided by the number of cycles with embryo transfers Miscarriage rate per clinical pregnancy: Number of miscarriages divided by the number of cycles with clinical pregnancy ;
