NCT05788822

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test MVA on improving pregnancy outcome in elderly infertile patients undergoing invitro fertilization (IVF). The main question it aims to answer is whether MVA could improve embryo haploid rate. Participants requested IVF are asked to randomly culture equal numbers of oocyte and embryo with or without MVA. Therefore, sibling oocytes were randomly divided into test group and control group.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Embryo haploid rate

    Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) was used to test embryo haploid rate

    one month after oocyte retrival

Study Arms (2)

MVA treated group

EXPERIMENTAL

Oocytes in this groups will be cultured with MVA

Dietary Supplement: Mevalproic acid

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Oocytes in this groups will be culture without MVA

Interventions

Mevalproic acidDIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Methovalerate pathway is a metabolism of cholesterol and isoprenoid synthesized from acetyl coenzyme A Pathway, which plays a key role in human health and disease, is also necessary for human cells to maintain normal functions. There are a series of important metabolic intermediates in the mevalproate pathway, such as farnesyl diphosphate and incense Folyl vanillin diphosphates, which modify proteins through isoprene, play an important role in regulating cell function. In addition, the latest research shows that valproic acid, the key metabolic intermediate of valproic acid pathway, being the synthetic precursor of cholesterol and isoprene, it can activate insulin growth factor (IGF)1-R and mTOR signals and maintain cell function by mediating histone function
