NCT02893722

Brief Summary

This study intends to carry out a prospective, randomized, double blind and controlled study to compare the influence of Atosiban and placebo on uterine contraction frequency, endometrial blood flow perfusion, oxytocin and serum concentration of PGF2α, embryo implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate on the RIF population after fresh embryo transfer, so as to further clarify the curative effect of Atosiban in the treatment of RIF and provide evidence-based basis for Atosiban for application in RIF population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical pregnancy rate

    cases of clinical pregnancies / number of transplantation cycles(per patient)

    4 weeks after embryo transfer

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • implantation rate

    4 weeks after embryo transfer

Study Arms (2)

atosiban

EXPERIMENTAL

Give drugs 30 minutes before the start of the embryo transfer. First step: give a 37.5 mg Atosiban (Ferring, Germany) to take 0.9 ml, that is, 6.75 mg, conduct intravenous injection in one minute. Second step: for the remaining 4.1 ml, namely 30.75 mg, dilute to 41 ml, use the venous pump to adjust to 24 ml/h, infuse for 1 hour, namely 18 mg. Third step: for the remaining 17 ml, use the venous pump to adjust to 8 ml/h, infuse 2.1 hours, namely 12.75 mg. Total administration time is 3 hours, total dose is 37.5 mg.

Drug: atosiban

0.9% salain

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

intravenous injection of 0.9% saline in one minute before transfer. Then use the same dose of normal saline for intravenous infusion to set the same infusion rate with experimental group, complete the infusion in 3 hours.

Drug: 0.9% saline

Interventions

give drugs 30 minutes before the start of the embryo transfer,and intravenous infusion in total dose of 37.5 mg is set in certain infusion rate, and complete the infusion in 3 hours.

Also known as: oxytocin antagonist
atosiban

give drugs 30 minutes before the start of the embryo transfer,and intravenous infusion is set in the same rate with experimental group, complete the infusion in 3 hours.

Also known as: Nacl
0.9% salain

Eligibility Criteria

Age20 Years - 40 Years
Sexfemale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • or more than 3 embryo implantation failure histories previously (or the number of high-quality embryos transplanted is \>4);
  • Age \<40 years;
  • Ultrasound or HSG showed normal uterine cavity, endometrium on transplantation day is ≥ 8mm;

  • Patients have obvious uterine cavity abnormalities;
  • There was a clear hydrosalpinx;
  • Natural cycles or IVM patients;
  • Patients who cancel the due to the transfer due to various reasons, such as the failure of fertilization, or ovarian transitional stimulus syndrome (OHSS);
  • Abnormal karyotype;
  • Blastocyst transplantation patients.
