Brief Summary

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

This study aiming to investigate if difference in the timing of cumulus removal post retrieval would have any critical impact on fertilization and embryonic development.

Detailed Description

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

Patients under 37 year old who were treated with controlled ovarian stimulation for ICSI were randomly divided into 2 groups; Group A: Oocytes were denudated immediately after oocyte retrieval , Group B: Oocytes were denudated 2 hours after retrieval and both groups were microinjected at 4 hours from ovum pickup. Microinjection was performed on all matured oocytes only and they were cultured to blastocyst stage.The rates of maturation, fertilization, good quality blastulation, chemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy were analysed and compared between the two groups.

Study Groups

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

Group A (immediate denudation)

Oocytes were denudated immediately after oocyte retrieval and were microinjected at 4 hours from ovum pickup. Microinjection was performed on all matured oocytes only and they were cultured to blastocyst stage.The rates of maturation, fertilization, good quality blastulation, chemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy were analysed and compared between the two groups.

denudation time lag

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The time between ovum pickup and denudation of oocyte

Group B ( 2hs denudation after ovum pickup)

Oocytes were denudated 2 hours after retrieval and were microinjected at 4 hours from ovum pickup. Microinjection was performed on all matured oocytes only and they were cultured to blastocyst stage.The rates of maturation, fertilization, good quality blastulation, chemical pregnancy and clinical pregnancy were analysed and compared between the two groups.
