Objectives

Narrative objectives1

It is a multi-centre prospective clinical study to conduct a comparative evaluation of "EmbryoScope+" series time-lapse incubator versus conventional incubator setups in human IVF embryo culture laboratory, using randomly split sibling embryos collected from patients in the per-protocol manner. The resulting data is possibly used in the materials for medical device registration of "EmbryoScope+" series incubator to the authority.

Basic objectives2

Others

Basic objectives -Others

This study aims to evaluate the performance of embryo culture in Time-lapse incubator. It is not designed for treatments or diagnostics of patients themselves, but for continuous culturing and sequential image acquisition of embryos resulted from the insemination of zygotes collected from the patients couples.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Those rates shall be denominated by per M-II oocytes and per-2PN embryo.
(1) Overall blastocyst rate, observed between day 5 and day 7
(2) Good blastocyst rate: Grade 3BB or better between day 5 and day 7
(3) Number of Usable Blastocysts per cycles: embryos meeting the criteria of fresh transfer and freezing of the study clinics

Key secondary outcomes

(1) 2PN rate after the insemination, embryo morphology grades on day 3
(2) Grade AA/AB/BA blastocysts (top-rated blastocysts)
(3) ET outcomes, including HCG+/-, CPR verified by GS in week 7, OPR verified by fetal heartbeats in week 13

Interventions/Control_1

Fertilized oocytes in the treatment cycles which meet the selection criteria after insemination will be randomly split into the test arm and the control arm.
Embryos in the test arm are cultured in the test equipment "EmbryoScope+ time lapse incubator".
Embryos are cultured continuously up to blastocysts stage, usually for 5-7 days from the insemination.

Interventions/Control_2

Embryos in the control arm are cultured in the conventional incubator normally used in the test sites.
Embryos are cultured continuously up to blastocysts stage, usually for 5-7 days from the insemination.

Key inclusion criteria

Patients and treatment cycles must meet all of the following conditions:
(1) Received informed consent (IC) by physician and signed the IC agreement form. The patient age must be between 20 and 50 on the day of signing the agreement.
(2) Shown to be eligible to the standard IVF treatment procedure in the study clinics by the initial diagnosis results collected before starting IVF treatment.
(3) Treatment cycles with six or more of oocytes fertilized normally by either cIVF or ICSI.

Key exclusion criteria

Patients or treatment cycles applicable to any one of the following conditions:
(1) Fertilization is performed with sperms collected through special procedure for male infertility patients: e.g., TESA and TESE.
(2) Fertilization is performed with both cIVF and ICSI in a single treatment cycle.
(3) Any treatment cycles in which an embryo, either in the study arm or in the control arm, is taken out from the culture for embryo transfer before reaching to blastocysts, such as day 2/3 embryo transfer.
(4) Oocytes which require in vitro maturation (IVM) shall be excluded from the sample pool. However, it shall include those treatment cycles found with six or more of normally fertilized oocytes after excluding IVM oocytes.
(5) Patients already been registered in any other clinical studies.
