NCT01587547

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop an algorithm for embryo selection based on amino acid profiling (AAP) of spent culture medium. Development of the algorithm will be based on the ongoing implantation rate of the individual embryos transferred. As evaluated by ultrasound scan in gestational week 7.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Amino acid profile

    Amino acid profiling (AAP) will be performed of spent culture medium from individually cultured embryos. AAP results will be correlated to the ongoing implantation rate week 7 as well as morphological embryo development parametres.

    After 24 hours of culture

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Ongoing clinical pregnancy rate

    Gestational week 7

Study Arms (1)

IVF and ICSI patients

Subjects undergoing IVF or ICSI treatment with a maximum of 2 embryos transferred

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 40 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects will be recruited from couples and single women attending the IVF clinic for IVF/ICSI treatment.

You may qualify if:

  • Minimum 4 x 2PN´s on Day 1 post insemination
  • Subjects undergoing IVF or ICSI treatment with a maximum of 2 embryos transferred
  • Both partners should be capable of understanding the study to which they are consenting
  • Females \> 18 and ≤ 40 years of age
  • Regular menstrual cycle 21-35 days (both inclusive)
  • Women treated with a standard drug protocol

You may not qualify if:

  • The couple has previously participated in the DK005 study
  • Use of assisted hatching
  • Indication for TESA or PESA
  • Any medical conditions or genetic disorders prohibiting IVF/ICSI or interfering with the interpretation of results of the study (including pre- implantation genetic diagnostics).
  • Use of any investigational drug within 30 days before oocyte retrieval
  • Any severe chronic disease of relevance for reproductive function.
  • Oocyte donation patients (donor or recipient).
