Trial summary

Preimplantational genetic screen (PGS) is tool for diagnosis of embryo chromosome abnormality before transfer. Under this tool, patients with a family history of genetic disease or special genetic disease could avoid to produce chromosomal abnormalities of the next pregnant. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Institute of Medicine, Chung Shan Medical University

Preimplantational genetic screen (PGS) is tool for diagnosis of embryo chromosome abnormality before transfer. Under this tool, patients with a family history of genetic disease or special genetic disease could avoid to produce chromosomal abnormalities of the next pregnant. This study is a retrospective study, data collection from 2001 Jan. to 2015. Nov. Patients underwent PGS and data including the couples age, infertility factors, stimulation protocols, medicine records, embryo quality records and blood tests were collected in this study. Analysis the relationship between outcomes of PGS, clinical outcomes and embryo quality is performed and further to find a diagnosis reference for clinical care.

Research background Preimplantational genetic screen (PGS) is tool for diagnosis of embryo chromosome abnormality before transfer. Under this tool, patients with a family history of genetic disease or special genetic disease could avoid to produce chromosomal abnormalities of the next pregnant. For the preemergence of embryos before the genetic diagnosis must be carried out artificial reproductive treatment, the process includes induction of ovulation, ovulation, in vitro fertilization and embryo culture, to embryos grow to six to eight cells or cultured into the stage of blastocyst stage, Under the embryonic section, take one or several cells, the slices of cells for genetic diagnosis, select the embryo without genetic disease implanted in the uterine cavity, in order to avoid the birth of genetic disease offspring.

PGS can reduce the pregnancy when the chromosomal abnormalities of the fetus after implantation, but also to reduce the risk of abortion from chromosomal abnormalities, and can avoid the couples implanted with genetic abnormalities of the embryos, thereby significantly reducing it is important to promote the process of eugenics and reduce the social cost.

Research purposes The detection of chromosomal abnormalities of embryos are important factors for clinical diagnosis or screening before implantation. However, there is no complete analysis of domestic studies. This program will compare the genes or chromosomal abnormalities and clinical outcomes of embryo testing at different stages of embryonic development.

Research design This study is a retrospective study, data collection from 2001 Jan. to 2015. Nov. Patients underwent PGS and data including the couples age, infertility factors, stimulation protocols, medicine records, embryo quality records and blood tests were collected in this study. Analysis the relationship between outcomes of PGS, clinical outcomes and embryo quality is performed and further to find a diagnosis reference for clinical care.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Genetic Disorder and Fertility Disorders, run by Yeh.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

implantation rate (time frame: 1~2 week after pregnancy test). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03065114, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Feb 2017.
