An observational study in Reproductive Issues, sponsored by IVI Madrid. Recruiting at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 45 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-01-11.
Sponsored by IVI Madrid · Observational
The present project is an ambispective study designed to answer how HLA-F SNPs, as well as KIR-HLA-C compatibility, influence reproductive outcomes in oocyte donation cycles. On the one hand, healthy patients without history of RIF and RM and with indication of egg donation cycle as ART treatment will be genotype for KIR, HLA-C and HLA-F. HLA-C from male partners and egg donors will be also analyzed. No matching based on HLA-C genotypes would be performed and donors would be assigned to recipients following the routine clinical practices. After SET, patients will be followed up until delivery or until the end of treatment. On the other hand, access to data from patients who have equally undergone oocyte-donation cycles, who meet the inclusion criteria and who have been genotyped for KIR and HLA-C as a matter of routine practice, will be requested.
For this study, only the first SET of oocyte-donation that patients undergo will be considered. LBR will be the primary endpoint of the study. In addition, secondary endpoints such as embryo development, sustained implantation, progesterone levels, implantation failure, miscarriage rate and unwanted events (preeclampsia, fetal grow restriction, premature birth, low birth weight...) will also be evaluated.
This is an ambispective study in which healthy patients without history of RIF and RM and with indication of egg donation cycle as ART treatment will be genotyped for KIR, HLA-C and HLA-F. Male partners and egg donors will also be studied for their HLA-C alleles. Patients would be assigned to donors, following routine clinical practice, without matching based on donor's HLA-C genotype. They would undergo SET and be followed up until delivery.
In addition to this prospective part, we will request access to data from patients who have equally undergone oocyte donation cycles at the clinic, who meet the inclusion criteria and who have been genotyped for KIR and HLA-C as a matter of routine practice.
Combinations of maternal KIR and HLA-C genotypes of the egg donor and fetus (based on the genotypes of the donor and male partner), as well as different HLA-F SNP genotypes of the recipients (form the prospective part of this proyect) will be correlated with reproductive outcomes. LBR will be the primary endpoint of the study. In addition, secondary endpoints such as embryo development, sustained implantation, progesterone leves, implantation failure and miscarriage rate will also be evaluated. Obstetrical complications such as preeclampsia, premature birth (\<34 weeks) and low birth weight will also be evaluated.
IVI Madrid is the lead sponsor of 35 studies on the registry; 3 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
The study population will consist of healthy patients with no history of RIF and RM which have undergone or are undergoing ART with oocyte donation and SET at IVI RMA Madrid, Valencia y Barcelona. Study subject candidates will be informed about the study once the inclusion criteria have been met. Data on reproductive outcomes, embryo development and perinatal and obstetric complications will be collected.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Genetic: Analysis combinations of maternal KIR and HLA-C genotypes
Analysis of combinations of maternal KIR and HLA-C genotypes of the egg donor and fetus (based on the genotypes of the donor and male partner), as well as different HLA-F SNP genotypes of the recipients
To determine if certain combinations of maternal KIR and oocyte donor HLA-C genotypes results in improved outcomes of live birth rate.
Principally, to establish whether patients of KIR AA and KIR Bx (2DS1-) genotypes show better outcomes when receiving oocytes from HLA-C1C1 donors than from donors with at least one HLA-C2 allele.
Time frame: 36 months
To determine if certain combinations of maternal KIR and oocyte donor HLA-C genotypes results in improved outcomes of live birth rate taking into account the extra HLA-C2 alleles of the embryo.
To determine if certain combinations of maternal KIR and oocyte donor HLA-C genotypes results in improved outcomes of live birth rathe, in the same way as in the primary target, but taking into account the extra HLA-C2 alleles of the embryo with respect to the mother and the alternative division of the maternal genotypes into KIR AA, AB and BB.
