Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is preliminary exploration of the effectiveness and duration of autologous decidual-like NK cells therapy in improving uterine NK cells dysfunction.

Detailed Description

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

Menstrual blood analysis will be performed on patients with infertility or a history of adverse pregnancy outcomes who have fertility needs. Those with abnormal uterine NK cells function will be screened and given informed consent forms pre-treatment. Collecting peripheral blood from the patients, isolating and inducing in vitro culture to obtain autologous decidual like NK cells which will be perfused into their uterine. Perform continuous menstrual blood analysis within 6 months after the first treatment to assess the improvement of uterine NK cell function. If the function of uterine NK cells improves, enter the stage of attempting pregnancy and follow up pregnancy outcomes; If the function of uterine NK cells does not improve, then autologous decidual like NK cells uterine cavity perfusion therapy will be performed again. NK cells intrauterine infusion will be treated up to 2 times.
