Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 40 years
  • Women only
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: The study will include up to 200 women between the ages of 18 - 40, to be recruited from the general population and medical center patient population, after determination that they are suited to the study according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and after having given informed consent to participate in the study. The sample size of the study will be determined such that adequate mapping of the 24 days of the menstrual cycle (putting more weight on luteal phase), excluding menstruation days (assuming a 28 day cycle), and dividing of the cohort into subgroups by age, can be achieved using the study methods described below, while adhering to financial constraints.

Who may be able to join

  • Gender: Female
  • Age: 18-40
  • Belong to one of the three following groups:
  • Women undergoing fertility treatment, and are regularly ovulating
  • Women whose fertility status is unknown
  • Women proved to be fertile (previous spontaneous successful pregnancy)

Who cannot join

  • Women with known existing endometrial pathology
  • Women with known history of infertility due to oligo-ovulation or anovulation.
  • Women with medical history of malignant tumors in their reproductive system
  • Women that are on any hormonal medications or treatments (excluding hormonal contraception in previous cycles)
  • Women that are on hormonal contraception treatment in their current cycle
  • Women with intrauterine device
  • Women menstruating on the day of the biopsy collection

About this study

To evaluate the correlation between cycle day determination by clinical signs, study participant testimony, endometrium histopathology biopsy and ex-vivo imaging of the uterus endometrium.

Read the detailed description

In order to assess the efficacy of using ex-vivo endometrial imaging to determine optimal time for embryo transfer, two to four separate analyses, including imaging, and the current standard method of endometrial dating (ultrasound, histological and blood tests) will be performed as well as participant's testimony. Dating by hormonal profile (blood tests) will be contingent on availability of the tests for each subject. So shall be the ultrasound test. During the analysis data will be acquired for subsequent correlation analysis. In addition, a parallel in-vivo analysis, similar in methodology to the ex-vivo analysis, may be performed via imaging by hysteroscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Endometrium, run by Fertigo Medical Ltd at 2 sites in Israel.

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 6 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 23 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Israel. 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?

Correlation between image-based endometrial dating and that of histology (time frame: 12 months). 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 23 Feb 2024.
