Performance Assessment of the MAGENTA Blast Algorithm for Embryo Prediction

May 26, 2026 updated by: Future Fertility Inc.

A Retrospective, Observational, Multi-centered Study to Validate a D3-D5 Embryo Prediction Tool and Assess Its Performance in a Clinical Setting.

This is a retrospective, observational, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate the predictive performance of MAGENTA BLAST, an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled software application, when used as analytical, adjunctive information to support Day 3 cleavage stage embryo predictions of blastocyst formation by Day 5.

Detailed Description

This retrospective, observational, single-arm, multi-centered study is designed to evaluate the predictive performance of MAGENTA Blast, an AI-enabled software, as adjunctive information to support Day 3 cleavage-stage embryo predictions of blastocyst formation by Day 5. The study will assess the association between embryo-level predictions generated using standard morphological evaluation with and without adjunctive MAGENTA Blast output, and observed blastocyst formation outcomes.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • At least 8 normally fertilized eggs at the pronuclear (2PN) stage
  • Fertilization using only ejaculated sperm (fresh or frozen) - no surgically removed sperm
  • At least one two-cell embryo on Day 3
  • At least part of the embryo cohort is cultured until day 5 (i.e. 114-116 HPI)

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Use of re-inseminated eggs (rescue ICSI)
  • Gestational carriers
  • Concurrent participation in another clinical study
  • Previous enrollment in this clinical study (i.e., one cycle data per patient)
  • History of cancer
  • Planned Day 3 laser-assisted hatching or embryos that underwent Day 3 biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)
  • Low quality images
  • Lack of correlating reproductive outcomes (IVF lab results not available)

Intervention / Treatment
Women undergoing fresh IVF treatment
Women undergoing fresh IVF treatment using their own eggs and are at least 18 years of age.
MAGENTA Blast is an AI-enabled software as a medical device (SaMD) that analyzes Day 3 embryo images or time-lapse sequences to provide adjunctive information on events occurring during embryo development that may predict further development to the blastocyst stage by Day 5. The device is intended to provide adjunctive decision support to embryologists when selecting embryos for transfer on Day 3, continued culture, or cryopreservation, in situations where, following standard morphological assessment, multiple embryos are deemed suitable.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The association between using MAGENTA Blast as an informative adjunctive aid and the prediction of blastocyst formation by Day 5 in embryos graded as Good/Fair
Time Frame: 3 days
The association between blastocyst outcome predictions by Day 5 with adjunctive use of MAGENTA Blast and the observed blastocyst outcome (Yes/No) for embryos classified as Good/Fair quality will be quantified using Odds Ratio (OR) greater than 1 and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
3 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The association between using MAGENTA Blast as an informative adjunctive aid and the prediction of blastocyst formation by Day 5 in all embryos
Time Frame: 3 days
The association between blastocyst outcome predictions by Day 5 with adjunctive use of MAGENTA Blast and the observed blastocyst outcome (Yes/No) for all embryos will be quantified using Odds Ratio (OR) greater than 1 and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
3 days
Blastocyst formation predicted by embryologists using traditional morphology only in all embryos as well as for the subset of embryos graded as Good/Fair
Time Frame: 3 days
The predictions of blastocyst formation by day 5 using traditional morphology only and the observed blastocyst outcomes (Yes/No) for all embryos as well as for the subset of embryos graded as Good/Fair, will be quantified using Odds Ratio (OR) greater than 1 and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
3 days
The association per embryologist between adjunctive use of MAGENTA Blast for Day 3 cleavage-stage embryo assessment and prediction of blastocyst formation by Day 5 in embryos graded as Good/Fair
Time Frame: 3 days
The predictions for blastocyst formation for each individual embryologist using traditional morphology with adjunctive MAGENTA Blast in embryos graded as Good/Fair and the observed blastocyst outcome (Yes/No), will be measured using Odds Ratio (OR) greater than 1 and corresponding 95% confidence intervals.
