LOD Before IVF/ICSI in PCOS Patients With High AMH

November 29, 2017 updated by: Mohamed Sayed Abdelhafez, Mansoura University

Laparoscopic Ovarian Drilling Before IVF/ICSI in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Patients With High Antimullarian Hormone

To evaluate the effect of performing laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) before proceeding to in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) on the cycle outcomes in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) patients with high antimullerian hormone (AMH) levels

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

Retrospective case-control study of PCOS women with high serum AMH level (≥ 7 ng/ml) who were subjected IVF/ICSI. Women underwent LOD in the preceding 3 months prior to IVF/ICSI (study group) will be compared with a control group of women who did not underwent LOD (control group)

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

18 years to 35 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of oocytes retrieved
Time Frame: 36-38 hours after triggering of oocyte maturation
Number of collected oocytes during oocyte retrieval
36-38 hours after triggering of oocyte maturation
Oocyte maturity rate
Time Frame: Within one hour after oocyte retrieval
Calculated for each woman by dividing the number of mature oocytes (MII oocytes) by the total number of oocytes retrieved
Within one hour after oocyte retrieval
Fertilization rate
Time Frame: 20-24 hours after injection (or insemination)
Calculated for each couple by dividing the number of fertilized oocytes by the number of injected (or inseminated) oocytes
20-24 hours after injection (or insemination)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical pregnancy rate
Time Frame: 6 weeks after embryo transfer
Number of clinical pregnancies (defined as presence of at least one intrauterine gestational sac with fetal pole and cardiac activity on TVS scan at 4-6 weeks after the ET) divided by the number of ET procedures
6 weeks after embryo transfer
Implantation rate
Time Frame: 6 weeks after embryo transfer
Number of gestational sacs on TVS scan at 4-6 weeks after ET divided by the number of transferred embryos
6 weeks after embryo transfer
Incidence of early OHSS
Time Frame: Within 9 days of final triggering of oocyte maturation
Incidence of OHSS within 9 days of final triggering of oocyte maturation
Within 9 days of final triggering of oocyte maturation

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
March 22, 2013

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (ACTUAL)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
