NCT02032264

Brief Summary

To evaluate the benefits of using next generation sequencing to assess embryonic aneuploidy. All viable blastocysts will be biopsied and cryopreserved for future transfer. After the final embryo is cryopreserved, patients will be randomized to either the intervention group or the control group. Patients and doctors are blinded to the randomization until study completion. A Double Embryo Transfer (DET) will be performed with either screened or unscreened embryos depending on randomization. A Single Embryo Transfer (SET) may occur in cases where only one embryo is available for transfer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Impact of next generation sequencing on the embryos produced from IVF on implantation rates

    To evaluate the benefits, if any, of using next generation sequencing based Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) in the selection of embryos for transfer during clinical IVF cycles

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Delivery Rates

    2 years

Study Arms (2)

Comprehensive Chromosome Screening

EXPERIMENTAL

Trophectoderm biopsy will be performed on all blastocysts and CCS via next generation sequencing screening performed on biopsy samples. Patients will proceed with a single or double embryo transfer of the one or two morphologically best euploid embryos

Other: Comprehensive Chromosome Screening

No Comprehensive Chromosome Screening

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The patients in this group will proceed with a single or double embryo transfer of the one or two morphologically best embryos.

Other: Morphologically Best

Interventions

On day 6 of embryo development, all embryos will undergo a trophectoderm biopsy using the standardized technique, as according to standard laboratory protocol and without regard to study. Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS), will be performed via next generation sequencing and results will be available at the time of study completion.

Also known as: PGD, CCS
Comprehensive Chromosome Screening

Patients in this arm of the study will not receive CCS in selection of their embryo for transfer. The best looking embryo (morphology) will be transferred

Also known as: Unscreened, No CCS
No Comprehensive Chromosome Screening
