Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are women aged 18 to 46 with at least one euploid blastocyst available for transfer and undergoing hormonal replacement therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with mosaic or aneuploid blastocysts, or those undergoing genetic testing for monogenic disorders, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effects of a hyaluronan-enriched medium, known as EmbryoGlue, on the pregnancy outcomes of euploid blastocyst transfers during frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles. The trial will involve women aged 18 to 46 who have undergone preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) and have at least one chromosomally normal blastocyst available for transfer. The study is designed to be double-blinded, ensuring that both patients and doctors are unaware of the treatment being administered. The primary goal is to determine if exposure to EmbryoGlue prior to and during transfer enhances implantation rates and overall pregnancy success. Interim analyses will be conducted to assess the trial's progress and efficacy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve pregnancy rates for women undergoing embryo transfers.
How similar studies have gone: While previous studies have explored embryo transfer media, this specific approach using hyaluronan-enriched medium in conjunction with PGT-A is novel and has not been extensively tested.

Inclusion Criteria: * All frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles with euploid blastocysts biopsied and vitrified on Day 5 after PGT-A. * Rank of randomization based on embryo quality. * Only hormonal replacement theraphy (HRT) cycle regimen. * Women aged 18 years to 46 years. * Having at least 1 chromosomally normal vitrified blastocyst(s) on Day 5 available for transfer. * All sperm samples. * BMI between 18 and 35. Exclusion Criteria: * FET cycles with preimplantation genetic testing for monogenic disorders (PGT-M) and for structural rearrangements (PGT-SR). * FET cycles with mosaic / aneuploid blastocysts. * FET cycles with unknown outcome. * FET cycles with Day 6 or Day 7 biopsied blastocysts. * FET with patients' endometrium preparation with treatments other than HRT. * FET where PGT-A was performed for gender selection.
