Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators conduct a long-term follow-up at five years on offspring born from our randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate whether or not there is any difference in developmental outcomes in children born after capacitation IVM (CAPA IVM) compared with conventional IVF in order to give strong evidence about the safety of IVM in women with high antral follicle count.

Clinical Trial Description

The safety of the CAPA-IVM has also been proven by publications about the development of children born from this technique.

Data monitoring the physical, mental, and motor development of children born from the CAPA-IVM versus children born from the conventional IVF after 2 years under using the ASQ-3 tools and red flags showed that there were no significant differences in ASQ-3 scores at 6, 12 and 24 months between children born after IVM or IVF. The proportion of children with developmental red flags was low and did not differ between the two groups. Slightly, but significantly, lower ASQ-3 problem-solving and personal-social scores in twins from the IVM versus IVF group at 6 months were still within the normal range and had caught up to the IVF group in the 12- and 24-month assessments.

However, another question raised is whether there is a difference in the development of children born from CAPA-IVM compared to conventional IVF after a longer follow-up period. Does the development between the two groups have a clinically significant difference? Based on these questions, we decided to conduct an assessment of the physical, behavioural, mental, and motor development of children born from CAPA-IVM and conventional IVF up to 5 years after birth. ;
