Brief Summary

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

Our study intends to demonstrate that the selection of an embryo to transfer it at the sage of blastocyst through morphokinetics (analysis of embryos depending not only in their morphology -that is, the aspect of the embryo-, but also based on times of cell division) during the use of time-lapse (Embryoscope®) may have a better impact in clinical results, as selection is not performed in mere morphological evolution (visual aspect of the embryo) of the embryos.

Detailed Description

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

Our study intends to demonstrate that the selection of an embryo to transfer it at the sage of blastocyst through morphokinetics (analysis of embryos depending not only in their morphology -that is, the aspect of the embryo-, but also based on times of cell division) during the use of time-lapse (Embryoscope®) may have a better impact in clinical results, as selection is not performed in mere morphological evolution (visual aspect of the embryo) of the embryos.

In order to obtain this objective, patients participating in the study will be randomly assigned to one of the following groups:

Group A: Patients who will perform an embryo transfer of a blastocyst using morphological criteria to evaluate que quality of the blastocyst (Gardner Classification), that is, based on the aspect or form of the embryo.

Group B: Patients who will perform an embryo transfer of a blastocyst using morphokinetics criteria to evaluate the quality of the blastocyst (Embryoscope®), that is, based not only in the aspect of the embryo but also in cell division times experimented by the embryos.

Once patients accept to be enrolled in the study, one of the nurses will allocate the patient to one of study groups. Neither the patient nor the doctor will know the group assigned.

Study Groups

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

GROUP A: Morphological embryo selection

Patients enrolled in group A will receive an embryo transfer according to classical morphological criteria.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group

GROUP B: Morpho-kinetics embryo selection

Patients enrolled in group B will receive an embryo transfer according to new morphokinetics criteria.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Morpho-kinetics selection with time-lapse (Embryoscope) evaluation

Intervention Type OTHER

Embryos in group B will be selected in blastocyst stage according to morpho-kinetics criteria before the embryo transfer
