Clinical Trial Summary

2 groups randomized to PRP injectioninto uterine cavity at mock embryo transfer, and a control group with only mock embryo transfer.

Description:

Participants are allocated in two groups ( randomized). Study is conducted in Dar El Teb infertility and IVF centre, Egypt. Normoresponder patients (9-15 mature follicles on day of HCG administration) and candidates for fresh embryo transfer are recruited to the study. 788 patients will be randomized on the day of ovum pick up in a 1 to 1 ratio to platelet rich plasma (PRP) group and control group. Patients wee randomized using computer generated randomization list and sequentially numbered sealed envelopes containing allocation information written on a card. The embryologist and doctors responsible for follow up after ovum pick up aew blinded to received treatment. Ovarian stimunlation is achieved by highly purified urinary FSH (Fostimon, IBSA, Switzerland)started on the 2nd or 3rd day of menstruation. The initial dose ranged between 150-300IU/d depending on expected ovarian response and serum E2 level. GnRH antagonist (Cetrotide, Serono international, Geneva, Switzerland) 0.25mgSC/day will be give when the leading follicle is 14mm and continued till day of HCG. 10,000 IU HCG will be given when 3 or more follicles are 18mm on mean diameter. Oocyte retrieval will be performed 34-36 hours after HCG administration. In PRP group, 1 ml autologous PRP prepared from blood of participants and injected under ultrasound guidance inside the uterus while performing the mock embryo transfer. In control group, mock embryo transfer was performed without injecting anything inside the uterus. All participants will receive progesterone vaginal pessaries (Prontogest, Marcyrl, Egypt) 400 mg twicw daily, starting on day of oocyte retrieval till 12weeks gestation or negative pregnancy test. No more than 3 embryos will be transferred2-5 days after oocyte retrival. B HCG levels will be measured in blood 14 days after HCGadministration. Transvaginal ultrasound will be performed 4 weeks after embryo transfer to confirm clinical pregnancy.
