Intrauterine Autologous Platelet -Enriched Plasma Infusion Compared to Hormonal Replacement Therapy for Enhancing Endometrial Thickness in Patients Undergoing ICSI

Successful embryo implantation needs an optimum embryonic development with a receptive endometrium. Endometrial thickness is an independant factor for endometrial receiptivity. The aim of that trial is to assess the benefecial effect of platelt rich plasma in copmarison with standard hormonal therapy.

Detailed Description

This is a single blinded randomized trial comparing the effect of of platlet rich plasma versus hormonal therapy on endometrial thickness and consequently endometrial receptivity. The primary endpoint of this trial is clinical pregnancy rate.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Platlet rich plasma
For those with endometrial thickness less than 7 mm intrauterine injection of platlet rich plasma (PRP) for enhancing endometrial thickness and receptivity
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is prepared from fresh whole blood which is collected from a peripheral vein, stored in acid citrate dextrose solution A (ACD-A) anticoagulant and processed to increase platelets by separating various components of blood
No Intervention: Hormone replacement therapy
Oral intake of estradiol valerate for those with endometrial thickness less than 7 mm will improve endometrial receptivity
