Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a policy of elective single embryo transfer (eSET) plus single embryo cryotransfer is as effective as a double embryo transfer in terms of clinical pregnancy rate

Detailed Description

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

The objective is to evaluate the In Vitro Fertilization/Intracytoplasmic Sperm Inyection (IVF/ICSI) results in terms of clinical pregnancy and multiple pregnancy rates, comparing elective single embryo transfer plus cryotransfer of one embryo if pregnancy is not achieved, with double embryo transfer.

This is a prospective randomized study, including couples arriving to the Reproductive Unit of the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves. All these patients had good reproductive prognosis and had been asigned randomly to one of the following groups: Group 1: elective single embryo transfer. In the case pregnancy is not achieved a cryotransfer of one embryo will be carried out. Group 2: elective double embryo transfer.

Study Groups

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

Elective single embryo transfer

After the FIV/ICSI procedure, in this arm the embryo transfer would be of a single embryo followed by the cryotransfer or a single embryo in case of no fresh conception

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Elective single embryo transfer

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After the FIV/ICSI procedure, the embryo transfer in this arm would be of one embryo followed by the cryotransfer of one embryo in case of no conception in the fresh cycle.

Double embryo transfer

After the FIV/ICSI procedure, in this arm the embryo transfer woub be of two fresh embryos

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Double embryo transfer

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After the FIV/ICSI procedure, the embryo transfer in this arm would be of two fresh embryos
