Brief Summary

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

1. Culture conditions of developing embryos are highly controlled in the Embryoscope and are monitored by Time-lapse videography to produce 3D images at different stages.This cannot be done under conventional culture conditions.
2. The 3D images thus produced,are analysed with the help of Embryoviewer, a part of the Embryoscope,through latest software.
3. Embryoviewer also identifies embryos for transfer, freezing and to be discarded.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. There will be two arms of the study. The Study arm in which embryos of patients will be cultured in the Embryoscope. The control arm in which the embryos of patients will be cultured under conventional conditions.
2. Embryos to be transferred will be identified by the Embryoviewer in the Study arm and the ones in the control arm will be identified by established subjective morphological criteria.
3. Embryos with definite implantation potential will be transferred in both arms.
4. Embryos not transferred will be frozen and/or discarded in both arms.

Study Groups

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

Study Arm

Subjects would receive recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (rFSH) by S.C. injection 150 - 225 IU/day for 9 days. The embryos of subjects would be cultured by time-lapse imagery technique (embryoscope) and analysis would be done using patients receive rFSH (Gonembryo viewer equipped with latest software.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (rFSH)

Intervention Type DRUG

There are two arms of the study. The Study arm and the Control arm. In each arm, subjects, after randomization, will be stimulated with rFSH 225IU/day.

On day 6, Cetrorelix 0.25mg/day to be added till the day of Ovitrell. Thereafter, ovum pick-up and embryo transfer to be done. Six weeks after transfer clinical pregnancy identified which will be the end-point of the study.

Control Arm

Subjects would receive recombinant Follicle Stimulating Hormone (rFSH) by S.C. injection 150 - 225 IU/day for 9 days. The embryos of subjects would be cultured in conventional culture environment and analysis would be done using established subjective morphological criteria.
