Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies in Patients With Recurrent Implantation Failure

September 29, 2021 updated by: Brecht Geysenbergh, Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven

Preimplantion Genetic Testing for Aneuploidies (PGT-A) in Patients With Recurrent Implantation Failure: a Pilot RCT

Assessing whether Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) can increase the ongoing pregnancy rate per transferred embryo and can decrease the time to pregnancy and miscarriage rate in patients with Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: PGT-A group
ovarian stimulation, oocyte aspiration, embryo culture until the blastocyst stage (day 5/6), TE biopsy, vitrification of all embryos in the blastocyst stage, PGT-A by NGS and finally embryo transfer of genetically normal embryos in cumulative frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles
Procedure: PGT-A
ovarian stimulation, oocyte aspiration, embryo culture until the blastocyst stage (day 5/6), TE biopsy, vitrification of all embryos in the blastocyst stage, PGT-A by NGS and finally embryo transfer of genetically normal embryos in cumulative frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Control group
ovarian stimulation, oocyte aspiration, embryo culture until the blastocyst stage, fresh embryo transfer of the morphologically best embryo on day 5/6, vitrification of supernumerary embryos and embryo transfer in cumulative frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles if not pregnant from the fresh cycle.
Procedure: Control
ovarian stimulation, oocyte aspiration, embryo culture until the blastocyst stage, fresh embryo transfer of the morphologically best embryo on day 5/6, vitrification of supernumerary embryos and embryo transfer in cumulative frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles if not pregnant from the fresh cycle.
