Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Recurrent implantation failure is the failure to achieve a pregnancy after multiple attempts with in vitro fertilization treatment. The reason is usually obscure. Many empirical treatments have been offered without substantial evaluation. Heparin is thought to play a role in the embryo implantation process beyond its anticoagulation effects. The proposed study aims to assess the effectiveness and safety of empirical administration of low molecular weight heparin in patients undergoing a new IVF treatment cycle after multiple failed attempts.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

LMWH

Women in the LMWH arm are administered 1 mg/kg/day subcutaneously low molecular weight heparin after oocyte collection in addition to routine luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparine sodium)

Intervention Type DRUG

1 mg/kg/day subcutaneously in the luteal phase after IVF treatment

Control

Women in the control arm are administered routine luteal phase support without the addition of LMWH

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

crinone 8% gel

Intervention Type DRUG

routine luteal phase support with progesterone gel
