Bisphenol A Exposure, Ovarian Function and Assisted Reproductive Technology Outcome. (FIVPHENOL)

July 11, 2019 updated by: University Hospital, Toulouse
Our goal is to prospect the relationships between Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure (measured as its free and conjugated forms in blood and urine) and embryo implantation rate (measured as the ratio between the number of gestational sacs and the number of transferred embryos) after assisted reproductive technology. In order to reduce the confusion factors, the population study is limited to young women (aged 28 to 34), with regular menstrual cycles and without any medical event that could affect the implantation process

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Among the various suspected adverse effects of BPA on human health, studies on the possible effects of BPA on reproduction are limited. Animal and in vitro studies indicate that BPA exposure can lead to disrupted oocyte maturation, E2 suppression and early pregnancy loss caused by chromosomal abnormalities. In the woman, studies about the consequences of BPA exposure on reproduction is a very difficult task since gametogenesis in the woman spreads over decades, from the intra-uterine life where meiosis is initiated to the end of the reproductive period at menopause. Recently, a decreased survival of human foetal oocytes cultured in vitro in the presence of BPA has been shown suggesting that in vivo exposure in foetal life could affect the ovarian reserve. Furthermore, a negative association between urinary BPA level and serum peak E2, oocyte yield and blastocyst formation has been suggested on a limited population of women performing ART. These results suggest that, in adulthood, both quantity and quality of human oocytes could be affected by BPA exposures. The study aims to respond to these questions by evaluating the relationships between BPA exposition levels and embryo implantation rates (as a marker of oocyte quality) and anti-Mullerian hormon (AMH) levels (as a marker of ovarian reserve) in large population of young adult women performing ART. BPA exposure will be assessed at two times in both blood and urine: 1°) before the ovarian stimulation at the time of ovarian reserve tests and 2°) at the end of the ovarian stimulation the day of the ovarian puncture for IVF.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

28 years to 34 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

  • Regular menstrual cycles (between 27 and 33 days)
  • 1st or 2nd IVF or ICSI attempt with an embryo transfer at D2 or D3

Exclusion Criteria:

  • couple already included in the study
  • ovarian surgery history

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame: 6 weeks after implantation
an ultrasonography between the 5th and 7th week after embryo transfer
