What this trial studies

The GETSET trial is a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the outcomes of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) in women aged 35 to 40 undergoing elective single embryo transfer. A total of 240 participants will be recruited and divided into two groups: one receiving standard embryo transfer with untested embryos and the other receiving transfer of genetically tested euploid embryos. The study will assess the impact of PGT-A on conception rates and overall success in this demographic. Participants will undergo standard IVF procedures, including ovarian stimulation and embryo culture, followed by either a frozen embryo transfer or additional cycles based on the outcomes.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 35 to 40 who are undergoing IVF and have at least one evaluable blastocyst.

Not a fit: Patients with anovulatory PCOS, those utilizing donor oocytes, or those with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss or implantation failure may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve pregnancy rates and reduce the risk of miscarriage in older women undergoing IVF.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results with preimplantation genetic testing, indicating potential benefits in similar populations.
