Investigating the link between AMH levels and embryo ploidy status
Official title: Is the AMH Intrafollicular Level a Predictor of the Ploidy Status of the Blastocyst? A Prospective Study
Run by ART Fertility Clinics LLC · NCT05837325 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is trying to see if the levels of a hormone called AMH in the ovaries can help predict the quality of embryos created during fertility treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 18 to 40 with at least one follicle from each ovary and normal menstrual cycles.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with known chromosomal abnormalities or severe male factor infertility may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This observational study aims to determine if there is a correlation between intrafollicular levels of Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) and the ploidy status of blastocysts on the day of egg retrieval after ovarian stimulation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). By analyzing hormonal environments surrounding oocytes and utilizing Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) to assess chromosomal pairs, the study seeks to provide insights into embryo quality and implantation potential. Data will be collected and analyzed to enhance embryo selection and optimize ovarian stimulation protocols for better fertility outcomes.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve embryo selection processes and increase the chances of successful pregnancies for women undergoing fertility treatments.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AMH as a marker in fertility has been explored, this specific correlation with blastocyst ploidy status is novel and has not been extensively tested.

Inclusion Criteria: * At least one follicle from each ovary at day of trigger * Age from 18 to 40 years old * Normal menstrual cycle of 25-35 days * Poor, normal and high response will be included * First follicle punctured from each ovary will be consider for inclusion: if the COC (Cumulus Oocyte Complex) is present in clear FF (Follicular fluid), the FF will be collected separately for further analysis and the oocyte included in the study Exclusion Criteria: * Very hematic follicular fluid * If the COC is not found in the follicular fluid * Azoospermia * Known chromosomal abnormalities * Severe OAT (Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia)
