About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Dietary Phytochemical Index and Antioxidant Capacity on the Outcome of Ongoing Pregnancy in In Vitro Fertilization Treatment

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between dietary total antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome in couples receiving IVF treatment.

In this context, the objectives are:

Determining the relationship between diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index, inflammatory index, and dietary polyphenol intake and ongoing pregnancy outcome, Determining the relationship between total serum antioxidant capacity, serum oxidant capacity and CRP levels and ongoing pregnancy outcome, It is the determination of the relationship between body composition and ongoing pregnancy.

With this study, it is aimed to obtain reliable data on the effects of diet's antioxidant capacity, phytochemical index and dietary polyphenol intake and inflammatory index on reproductive functions. In this way, it is thought that nutritional recommendations that can be given to patients who will undergo IVF treatment before treatment will be developed.

In this study, which is a first in terms of examining many parameters related to diets of women and men, it will be evaluated whether the parameters to be examined are effective in IVF cycles.

The aims, objectives and hypotheses the researchers put forward within the scope of the study have not been studied extensively before. If the planned project is carried out successfully, new nutritional approaches will be paved in in-vitro fertilization treatment, and it will be possible to contribute to reducing the financial burden of the treatment. In addition, an important step will be taken to increase the total fertility rate (number of children per woman) within the scope of the 11th Development Plan (2019-2023). It also conforms to the 3rd Sustainable Development Goals, "healthy and quality life" (UNDP Turkey 2018)

What is being measured

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

  1. Ongoing pregnancy

    "Ongoing pregnancy" is a term used in reproductive medicine to describe a pregnancy that has progressed beyond the early stages and is continuing to develop with a viable fetal heartbeat. Ongoing pregnancy is typically confirmed by ultrasound examination after the gestational age of 12 weeks. In assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles, ongoing pregnancy rate is an important outcome measure used to assess the success of the procedure, as it reflects the number of pregnancies that have the potential to result in live births.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical pregnancy

    "Clinical pregnancy" is a term used in reproductive medicine to describe a pregnancy in which there is evidence of a gestational sac or fetal heartbeat on ultrasound examination. Clinical pregnancy is typically confirmed around 6-7 weeks of gestation and is a significant milestone in assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles. The clinical pregnancy rate is often used as an outcome measure to assess the success of ART procedures.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ongoing Pregnancy and In-vitro Fertilization, run by Hacettepe University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 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 26 Feb 2025. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Ongoing pregnancy (time frame: 1 year). 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 Feb 2025.
