Sequential vs. Monophasic Media Impact Trial (SuMMIT) (SuMMIT)

June 21, 2016 updated by: Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey

Evaluation of the Impact of Monophasic vs. Sequential Media on the Reproductive Potential of Embryos Undergoing in Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

To evaluate the impact of two FDA approved culture media on potential of human embryos resulting from IVF (sequential & monophasic media). Half of each patient's embryos will be randomly assigned to grow in monophasic media & the other half in sequential media. All embryos will undergo Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (CCS) & the best euploid embryo from each group will be transferred resulting in a double embryo transfer (DET). If there are only euploid embryos from one group, patient will have single embryo transfer (SET)(fresh or frozen).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Monophasic Media
Half of each patient's embryos will be randomly assigned to grow in monophasic media & the other half in sequential media. All embryos will undergo CCS & the best euploid embryo from each group will be transferred (DET). If there are only euploid embryos from one group, pt will have SET only (fresh or frozen)
Other: Comprehensive Chromosome Screening
On day 5 or 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) results will be available by the morning of day 6 if embryos are suitable for a fresh transfer which is the routine in our program.
Placebo Comparator: Sequential Media
Half of each patient's embryos will be randomly assigned to grow in monophasic media & the other half in sequential media. All embryos will undergo CCS & the best euploid embryo from each group will be transferred (DET). If there are only euploid embryos from one group, pt will have SET only (fresh or frozen)
Other: Comprehensive Chromosome Screening
On day 5 or 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) results will be available by the morning of day 6 if embryos are suitable for a fresh transfer which is the routine in our program.
