Abnormally Fertilized Embryos: Does Chromosomal Content Stay Balanced in IVF
Official title: Prospective Observational Study of the Morphokinetics and Ploidy of Blastocysts With Abnormal Fertilization (1PN, 2.1PN and 3PN) to Identify the Origin of Fertilization Alterations
Run by Igenomix · NCT06940973 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether embryos from abnormal fertilization can still have the right number of chromosomes and be usable in IVF for couples with limited viable embryos.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
ART patients undergoing IVF/ICSI who have at least one blastocyst from oocytes with abnormal pronuclear patterns (1PN, 2.1PN, or 3PN) and with two polar bodies.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without embryos from abnormal pronuclear patterns or those not proceeding to blastocyst development may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study will analyze about 300 embryos from IVF cycles with abnormal pronuclear patterns (1PN, 2.1PN, 3PN) to determine their diploidy rate and potential parental origin of chromosomal gains or losses. Researchers will use PGT-A and related genetic analyses, along with morphokinetics data, to see if non-diploid embryos can have a normal chromosomal complement. Embryos that reach the blastocyst stage will be evaluated for euploidy, haploidy, or triploidy and, when possible, the origin of chromosomal abnormalities. Participation does not require additional visits beyond standard IVF/ICSI care and relies on samples collected during routine treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could expand the pool of usable embryos for some IVF patients with limited high-quality embryos.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work has shown that some embryos from abnormal fertilization can possess normal chromosomal content, but this specific approach and group are being explored in this observational context.
