Andrositol® TEST as Diagnostic Assay to Predict the Fertilization Potential in IVF

April 5, 2022 updated by: Lo.Li.Pharma s.r.l

Andrositol® TEST as Diagnostic Assay to Predict the Fertilization Potential of the Sperm in the in Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Procedures.

Andrositol® test allows to obtain additional information besides the WHO parameters and to evaluate the semen energetic status. The diagnosis is performed by analyzing the semen at two different time points: before the treatment and 30' after the addiction of myo-inositol directly to the semen. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the responsiveness to the Andrositol® test of a sperm sample can be predictive of its fertilization rate in an ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) cycle (primary outcome). Secondary outcomes as embryo development, embryo euploidy status and embryo implantation rate will be evaluated.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: category 1
Low responder
The intervention consists in the addiction of myo-inositol directly to the semen identifying the quality of sperm prior ICSI procedure

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
increment of the fertilization rate
Time Frame: up to 20 hours after ICSI
measurement of the % oocytes become fertilized by sperm cells. This outcome, is calculated for each patient at day + 1 (14-20h after icsi)
up to 20 hours after ICSI

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Increment of implantation rate
Time Frame: up to 10 days after ICSI
implantation rate is calculated as the number of gestational sacs observed at echographic screening at +5 weeks of pregnancy divided by the number of embryos transferred
up to 10 days after ICSI
embryo development
Time Frame: up to 6 days after ICSI
the number of blastocysts for each patient at day +5, +6, +7
up to 6 days after ICSI
embryo euploidy
Time Frame: from 10 days after ICSI
Embryo euploidy for each patient at day +10
from 10 days after ICSI
