Trial summary

With the development of society, more and more aged pregnant women because of various reasons, their abnormality rate of egg chromosome was higher than that of young women, then the abnormality rate of embryo chromosome is higher too, so the pregnancy rate in aged women is lower, abortion rate is higher.

About this study

Official title: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Study of Preimplantation Genetic Screening With Next Generation Sequencing Technology on Advanced Age Women

With the development of society, more and more aged pregnant women because of various reasons, their abnormality rate of egg chromosome was higher than that of young women, then the abnormality rate of embryo chromosome is higher too, so the pregnancy rate in aged women is lower, abortion rate is higher. In order to improve the pregnancy rate in aged women, cut down their abortion rate 、fetal birth with abnormal chromosome, and the risk of pregnancy termination after the prenatal diagnosis, reduce their pain of body and mind, the investigators will carry out this study. This is a prospective randomized controlled study of preimplantation genetic screening with Next generation sequencing technology. The embryos with more developmental potential and normal chromosomes should be selected. There is no related studies in Chinese. Most international research are limited to fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) technique, not on the embryo chromosome comprehensive screening. So there is no evidence of the effects of PGS on advanced age women.

This study is to compare the outcomes between the advanced age women with two methods respectively. After blastocyst culture, blastocysts will be transferred in the control group. In the Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS) group, blastocyst embryo trophoblast biopsy will be performed and chromosome screening with Next generation sequencing(NGS) technology, at the same time, the blastocysts will be frozen, then the blastocysts with normal chromosome will be thawed and transferred. The investigators expect that, in PGS group live birth rate 、cancellation rate and pregnancy rate are higher than in control group; abortion rate is lower than that of the control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. live birth rate

    Measured: At birth

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. cancellation rate

    Measured: Up to the day of embryo transferred

  2. Pregnancy Rate

    Measured: Up to 28th day after embryo transferred

  3. abortion rate

    Measured: Through pregnancy period,average 10 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing chromosome screening with NGS technology in people with Infertility, run by Reproductive & Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 26 Jan 2022. 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 China. 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. 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?

live birth rate (time frame: At birth). 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 26 Jan 2022.
