This is an interventional supportive care trial for Infertility focused on measuring Endometrium, G-CSF, Recurrent implantation failure

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 40 Years (Adult)FemaleAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Women under the age of 40 who met the RIF definition
  • Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels were <15 IU/mL

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with congenital uterine anomalies
  • Patients with Asherman's syndrome
  • Patients with uterine cavity distorted by myoma or endometrial polyps
  • Patients with confirmed endometriosis or endometrioma
  • Patients for whom G-CSF was contraindicated (active infections, kidney disease, sickle cell anemia, malignancies, chronic neutropenia)

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Placebo Comparator

Arm Label

G-CSF

Control group

Arm Description

Patients in the G-CSF group will receive G-CSF once a day on hCG day, before hCG injection. The procedure involved the administration of G-CSF through slow infusion into the endometrial cavity using a soft embryo transfer catheter.

Normal saline of 1 mL was infused into the endometrial cavity in the same way in patients in the control group

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Clinical pregnancy rate
Gestational sac in USG per embryo transfer

Secondary Outcome Measures

Endometrial thickness
Measurement of endometrial thickness as millimeter

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Aim of this study is to investigate the effects of intrauterine G-CSF on endometrial thickness, clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate in a recurrent implantation failure (RIF) group
Detailed Description
This study was designed as a prospective randomized controlled trial with the involvement of 200 RIF group patients.The procedure will perform by administering 30 mIU of Leucostim®(Filgrastim [G-CSF] 30mIU/mL; DEM Medical, Dong-A; South Korea) through slow infusion into the endometrial cavity using a soft embryo transfer catheter. Normal saline of 1 mL will be infused into the endometrial cavity in the same way in the control group. The standard ICSI procedure will use for all patients, and fresh cycle embryos will be transferred on the third or fifth day.
