Active clinical trials for "Infertility"

In vitro fertilization (IVF) has helped countless couples conceive where they otherwise were unable, but does come at a significant cost. A large portion of that cost is in the medications that allow for controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. One aspect of treatment is in ovulation inhibition to allow for supraphysiologic recruitment of oocytes prior to natural ovulation. Historically, GnRH agonist and antagonists have been used. However, these are subcutaneous injections and can be costly. Clomiphene citrate is a selective estrogen receptor modulator that acts as an estrogen antagonist in the hypothalamus and pituitary and is an inexpensive oral agent. It may be used as an inhibitor of ovulation in IVF in theory but this has never been attempted to the best of our knowledge.

This study is a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of elderly infertile women.

Frozen embryo transfer (FET) has been increasing important in IVF. Progesterone is essential for the endometrial secretory transformation, establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. In FET, as there is neither corpus luteum nor the support of hCG, the role of progesterone is even more important to ensure a sufficient luteal phase support. Vaginal progesterone has been the most common preparation for luteal support in fresh embryo transfer during IVF because of their ease of use and comparable effectiveness compared to intramuscular progesterone. Recently, there was evidence of the considerable variation in uptake, absorption and metabolism of intra-vaginal micronized progesterone. Dydrogesterone alone has described to have similar effectiveness, safety and tolerability prolfiles for luteal phase support compared to vaginal progesterone in luteal phase support for fresh embryo transfer. This prospective study compares the effectiveness of micronized progesterone versus micronized progesterone plus dydrogesterone for luteal phase support in FET.

Administration of a multicomponent dietary supplement (myo-inositol, vitamin D3, folic acid and melatonin) to women undergoing IVF procedures. The aim of the study is to monitor the effects on the pregnancy, implantation and abortion rates.

Development of multiple follicles and pregnancy in ovulatory women undergoing controlled ovarian stimulation as part of an assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycle.

Objective: To study whether an administration of corifollitropin alpha modifies the follicular cohort, measured by Follicular Output Rate (FORT), compared to human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG), in infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). M/M: 306 infertile patients undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF). Ovarian stimulation protocol will be performed with a single dose of 100 μg (<60kg) or 150 μg (≥60kg) corifollitropin alpha in group 1 (n=147), and 150-300 IU/day human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) according to age, antimullerian hormone (AMH) level and antral follicle count (AFC) in group 2 (n=150). Moreover, FORT will be calculated as the ratio of pre-ovulatory follicle (16-22 mm in diameter) count on day of HCG×100/small antral follicle (3-8 mm) count at baseline.

To evaluate the effects of a new nutraceutical formulation containing resveratrol (trademark GENANTE) on gamete quality in order to improve the reproductive process during ART.

The purpose of pilot trial is to compare the efficacy of lifestyle intervention, metformin intervention, lifestyle combined with metformin intervention in improving assisted reproductive technology in non-polycystic ovary syndrome(pcos) patients with overweight/obesity and insulin resistance compared with conventional clinical education. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized to four groups: lifestyle intervention group, metformin intervention group, lifestyle combined with metformin intervention group, and routine clinical education group. Subjects of above three intervention group will start ovulation stimulation treatment after reach the aim or duration of intervention and routine clinical education group has no intervention. All subjects are treated with the same procedures, including a long ovarian stimulation regimen, oocyte retrieval, and fertilization, followed by a planned transfer of two day-3 embryos. The primary outcome is ongoing pregnancy rate.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of CAPA-IVM versus standard IVM in women with polycystic ovarian morphology (PCOM) or polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .

This trial investigates the effects of FE 999049 compared to placebo.
