Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 35 years
  • Men only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: Open retrospective study of 30 semen donors. Comparisons were made of gene expression profile between the IAD, IVF and ICSI groups according to the clinical outcomes of pregnancy. * The donor recruitment will be made according to standard protocols rather Bilbao IVI centers will no visit, checking out additional analytical donation program to the donor is attached. * By SIVIS data base, the results of different gestation is collected reproductive treatments that allow the allocation to the comparison groups gene profile.

Who may be able to join

  • IAD group Younger than 37 years, natural cycles and stimulated apparently no problem of infertility as follows:
  • Polycystic ovary syndrome.
  • Endometriosis.
  • ovarian failure.
  • Lack of tubal patency (Both fallopian tubes must submit permeability).

  • IVF group Couples who undergo IVF egg donation invoking the program. Therefore, they try to cycles in which two gametes were donors. All egg donors should be fertility proven, it is that must have been able to take shape within the program of egg donation or naturally. The recipient women (patients) should not present

  • Thyroid Disease.
  • Diabetes mellitus. Renal or adrenal disease,
  • toxic habits (smoking, alcohol or drug abuse)
  • ICSI group Couples who undergo ICSI invoking the egg donation program. In addition, all donors oocytes must be of proven fertility, this being that should have been able to take shape within the egg donation program or naturally. The recipient women (patients) should not present

About this study

Official title: Determination of Gene Profiling in Semen Donors With Pregnancy Versus no Donor Gestation, Obtained in Assisted Reproduction Treatments

Microarray experiments to assess the expression of thousands of genes providing vast amount of information.

Because the molecular requirements in the different processes related to playback,on the hypothesis that there may be more apt semen samples for technical or other assuming molecular differences in RNA content messengers or gene expression profile between the They getting semen samples in gestation versus those who do not.

In an attempt to give a functional data obtained view, it is to find out how many of these genes in donors who have obtained gestation, they are differentially expressed in playback related processes against those donors who did not get pregnant.

Read the detailed description

MRNA assembly is characterized by using microarrays on semen samples from donors included in the donation program of the clinic.

This process is performed in donors who have generated at least 3 pregnancies compared those samples, however, were not a function of gestation assisted reproduction technique used.

Consequently, differential expression of genes are identified in assisted reproduction treatment cycles from IAD, IVF or ICSI.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Detecting gene expression differences in RNA content messengers or gene expression profile between the semen samples versus those who get pregnant when you do not.

    mRNA whole is characterized by using microarrays, in semen samples from donors included in the donation program of the clinic.

    By using bioinformatics tools Gene Ontology search listings of genes related to reproduction for the interpretation and identification of those who are involved in the different processes will be performed

    Measured: 15 months

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted2 Feb 2016 (estimated)
  2. Study startApr 2015
  3. Primary completionMay 2016
  4. Study completion1 Dec 2017

Why it stopped: could not be obtained enough sperm RNA is highly fragmented and very difficult to purify.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Donor Site Complication, run by IVI Bilbao at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 35 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Feb 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: could not be obtained enough sperm RNA is highly fragmented and very difficult to purify.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Detecting gene expression differences in RNA content messengers or gene expression profile between the semen samples versus those who get pregnant when you do not. (time frame: 15 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Feb 2020.
