Seminal TEX101 as a Predictor of Recovery of Spermatogenesis in

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of the study is to assess if seminal TEX 101 can predict the restoration of spermatogenesis and appearance of sperms in the ejaculate after micro-surgical varicocelectomy among azoospermic patients.

Clinical Trial Description

Male patients (40) cases attending the outpatient clinic of Andrology at KASR EL-AINI university hospitals, all patients presented with azoospermia, age:18-43 years, complaining mainly of infertility or accidently discovered azoospermia during premarital check-up or chronic testicular pain caused by longstanding varicocele. Infertile Non Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) (n=40) subjected to varicocelectomy and patients evaluated 3 months after varicocelectomy by semen analysis, then according to results population divided into 2 groups: Group A (Responders): Patients with positive semen analysis for

sperms 3 months after varicocelectomy.

Group B (Non Responders): Patients with no sperms in semen analysis

in 3 and/or 6 months after varicocelectomy.

Method of Estimation of human TEX101 in semen:

A 1 ml collected semen samples were centrifuged for 20 minutes at 1000xg at 4 o C, then supernatant of each sample was collected for estimation of TEX101. The human TEX101 (Testis expressed 101) was assayed by commercially available ELISA kit supplied by Wuhan Fine Biotech Co., Ltd. China.

Principle of the procedure:

This kit was based on sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technique. Anti- TEX101 antibody was pre-coated onto 96-well plate. The biotin conjugated antibody was used as detection antibodies. The standards, test samples and biotin conjugated detection antibody were added to the wells subsequently, and washed with wash buffer.

HRP-Streptavidin was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with wash buffer. TMB substrates were used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The intensity of yellow is proportional to the target amount of sample captured in plate. ;

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.
