An observational study in Microswimup Procedure Efficacy, sponsored by Cervesi Hospital, Cattolica, Italy. Status unknown at 2 sites in Italy. Open to participants aged 20 Years to 35 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-02-09.
Sponsored by Cervesi Hospital, Cattolica, Italy · Observational
The aim of this study is to evaluate the microbiological safety and the efficacy of a new not expensive, easy and fast technique (Direct Microswimup) for sperm preparation in In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments without the use of centrifuge, able to simplify the procedure and to avoid mismatches by ensuring the same results of the standard techniques in terms of fertilization rate, blastulation rate, pregnancy/abortion rate, cryostorage rate, and a better euploid status of the embryos.
This study included couples submitted to in vitro fertilization treatment at the Unit of Physiopathology of Reproduction (Cervesi Hospital, Cattolica, RN, Italy).
Exclusion Criteria:
microbiological test
A standard bacteriological culture \[based on inoculation of blood and "chocolate" agar plates and Brain-Heart Infusion broth, followed by incubation at 37°C for up to 72 hours\] was performed in order to investigate the presence and amount of colonizing bacteria delivered with the semen at ejaculation and after treatment
Time frame: 3 months
semen treatment efficacy
number of obtain blastocysts (%) and number of pregnancy (%)
Time frame: 6 months
euploid status
molecular analysis of blastocyst's biopsy
Time frame: 6 months
