About this study

Official title: The Effect of Culture Media Microdroplet Geometry and Different Oil Overlay on Pre Implantation Embryonic Development in Dry Incubators: Prospective Randomized Study.

A prospective randomized study included 1695 MII sibling oocytes collected from 100 patients undergoing ICSI.

Read the detailed description

Purpose:

to determine the effect of culture media microdroplet geometry of different culture dishes and oil overlay on the pre implantation embryo development in dry incubators

Method:

We used sibling oocytes splits between two different dishes : GPS (life global, USA) and SPL (life science, Korea) with two different oils : light mineral oil (LM)(Irvine, USA) and paraffin oil (PO)(Vitro life, Sweden). All embryos cultured in dry incubators at the same conditions.

statistical analysis done using SPSS version 23

What is being measured

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

  1. Blastulation rate

    Percentage of total blastocysts / Total cleaved embryos

    Measured: 5-6 days after ICSI

  2. High quality blast rate

    Morphological grading of trophectoderm and Inner cell mass using Gardner's criteria 1999, from grade A and B ( A is the highest quality). Total high grade embryos/ total blast embryos.

    Measured: 5-6 days after ICSI

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Fertilization rate

    Percentage of fertilized oocyte (appearance of two pronuclei) / Number of injected oocytes

    Measured: 16-19 hours of ICSI

  2. Cleavage rate

    Percentage of cleaved embryos/ total number of fertilized oocytes

    Measured: 72 hours of ICSI

  3. High quality D3 embryos

    High quality D3 embryos according to Gardner's criteria / total cleaved embryos

    Measured: 72 hours of ICSI

  4. Good quality trophectoderm/inner cell mass

    better grade than 3BB of blast embryos according to Gardner's criteria 1999

    Measured: 5-6 days after ICSI

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing GPS/LM, SPL/LM and GPS/PO in people with Embryonic Development and Infertility, run by Ganin Fertility Center at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 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 Egypt. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Blastulation rate (time frame: 5-6 days after ICSI). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Jul 2020.
