About this study

Official title: Controlled Ovarian Stimulation and Human Uterine Lavage: A Feasibility Study

This is a feasibility study intended to demonstrate the Previvo Uterine Lavage System's ability to recover embryos from the uterus following either natural cycle (NC)/intrauterine insemination (IUI), or controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)/intrauterine insemination (IUI).

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective, multi- center, multiple-arm, feasibility study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Previvo System in the recovery of embryos.

This study will recruit up to 500 healthy premenopausal volunteers. Subjects will undergo either natural cycle (NC)/intrauterine insemination (IUI), or controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)/intrauterine insemination (IUI) and have the lavage procedure performed 4-6 days post IUI. It is anticipated that embryos recovered will be cryopreserved for future use or donated for future use.

Subjects will be followed up with for up to 30 days after the lavage procedure. All data will be collected on paper CRFs and analyzed by the Principal Investigator and Study Sponsor.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serious Adverse Event Collection

    Assessment of pain during procedure, bleeding experienced during procedure, and infection symptoms experienced subsequent to procedure. Assessment of fluid recovery, fluid loss through cervix, fluid accumulation in the uterus and fluid loss through fallopian tubes.

    Measured: 30-Days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recovery of Embryos

    Measured: 1 Day
