Effect of Antioxydant-enriched Media on Blastocyst Euploidy Rates.

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

One of the most sensible factors in IVF culture conditions is the susceptibility of gametes and embryos to an induced increase in reactive oxidative species (ROS) caused by the artificial environment. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using antioxidant-supplemented media during culture to evaluate embryo ploidy rates in a prospective randomized trial using sibling oocytes.

Clinical Trial Description

Improvements in culture conditions is an ongoing process in IVF due to, on one hand, the still lack of knowledge on human embryonic development, and, on the other hand, the frequent need for repeated IVF cycles to achieve an 'implantable' embryo. The main factor for optimizing conditions of an embryo to develop is its microenvironment, mainly the culture media used. One of the most sensible factors in IVF culture conditions is the susceptibility of gametes and embryos to an induced increase in reactive oxidative species (ROS) caused by the artificial environment, as it has been extensively shown in animal models and to a certain extent in humans. A primordial step for improvement is to alleviate an increase in ROS during embryo development. This can be manipulated by means of utilizing a culture media with supplements that can serve as scavengers, leading to an equilibrium between oxidation and reduction of ROS during the culture period. So far, the produced culture media contain low concentrations of limited additives involved in anti-oxidative stress. Recently, a culture medium containing an implementation in higher doses of distinctive elements known to clearly serve as cellular scavengers has been formulated. However, very few human IVF studies have been performed up to date. Our research intends to investigate the incorporation of antioxidant-rich culture media into IVF practices with the primary objective of analyzing its impact on embryo euploidy, as well as the previous culture steps including fertilization and blastocyst developmental rates. This study aims to evaluate the impact of using antioxidant-supplemented media during culture to evaluate embryo ploidy rates in a prospective randomized trial using sibling oocytes. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
