What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Euploidy Rate

    Proportion of embryos identified as euploid following preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) performed on embryos generated during the IVF cycle.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical Pregnancy Rate

    Proportion of subjects with a clinical pregnancy, defined as the presence of an intrauterine gestational sac detected by ultrasound.

    Time frame: 5-7 weeks of gestation following embryo transfer.

  2. Fertilization Rate

    Proportion of oocytes successfully fertilized following insemination during IVF.

    Time frame: Approximately 16-20 hours after insemination.

  3. Cleavage Rate

    Proportion of fertilized embryos progressing to the cleavage stage.

    Time frame: Day 2-3 after fertilization.

  4. Blastocyst Formation Rate

    Proportion of embryos that develop to the blastocyst stage.

    Time frame: Day 5-6 after fertilization.

  5. Embryo Quality at Cleavage Stage

    Embryo quality assessed according to standard morphological criteria at the cleavage stage.

    Time frame: Day 3 after fertilization.

  6. Embryo Quality at Blastocyst Stage

    Embryo quality assessed according to standard morphological criteria at the blastocyst stage.

    Time frame: Day 5-6 after fertilization.

  7. Biochemical Pregnancy Rate

    Proportion of participants with biochemical pregnancy, defined as a detectable increase in serum β-hCG concentration following embryo transfer.

    Time frame: Approximately 10-14 days after embryo transfer.

  8. Progressive Motile Sperm Count After Processing

    Number of progressively motile spermatozoa present after sperm processing.

    Time frame: Immediately after sperm processing on the day of oocyte retrieval.

  9. Total Sperm Motility After Processing

    Percentage of spermatozoa showing any type of motility following sperm processing.

    Time frame: Immediately after sperm processing on the day of oocyte retrieval.

  10. Progressive Sperm Motility After Processing

    Percentage of spermatozoa exhibiting progressive motility after sperm processing.

    Time frame: Immediately after sperm processing on the day of oocyte retrieval.

Other outcomes

  1. Ongoing Pregnancy Rate

    Proportion of pregnancies progressing beyond the first trimester without pregnancy loss.

    Time frame: Up to 12-14 weeks of gestation.

  2. Live Birth Rate

    Proportion of pregnancies resulting in the birth of a live neonate.

    Time frame: At delivery. Approximately 38-42 weeks after embryo transfer.

  3. Neonatal Sex Distribution

    Sex of neonates born from pregnancies resulting from the study.

    Time frame: At birth. Approximately 38-42 weeks after embryo transfer.

  4. Birth Weight

    Birth weight of neonates resulting from pregnancies in the study.

    Time frame: At birth. Approximately 38-42 weeks after embryo transfer.

  5. Gestational Age at Birth

    Gestational age of the neonate at the time of delivery.

    Time frame: At birth. Approximately 38-42 weeks after embryo transfer.

  6. Mode of Delivery

    Type of delivery, categorized as vaginal delivery or cesarean section.

    Time frame: At birth. Approximately 38-42 weeks after embryo transfer.

  7. Multiple Pregnancy Rate

    Proportion of pregnancies resulting in multiple gestations, defined as the presence of more than one intrauterine gestational sac detected by ultrasound.

    Time frame: 5-7 weeks of gestation.

  8. Spontaneous Abortion Rate

    Proportion of pregnancies resulting in spontaneous pregnancy loss before 20 weeks of gestation.

    Time frame: From confirmation of clinical pregnancy up to 20 weeks of gestation.

  9. Neonatal Examination at Hospital Discharge

    Clinical neonatal examination performed at hospital discharge to assess the overall health status of the newborn and identify any congenital anomalies.

    Time frame: Within 1 week after delivery (approximately 38-43 weeks after embryo transfer).

  10. Infant Weight at Follow-Up

    Body weight of infants resulting from pregnancies in the study, measured during pediatric follow-up visits.

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months of age.

  11. Infant Length at Follow-Up

    Body length of infants resulting from pregnancies in the study, measured during pediatric follow-up visits.

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months of age.

  12. Achievement of Developmental Milestones

    Assessment of age-appropriate developmental milestones during pediatric follow-up visits.

    Time frame: 6 and 12 months of age.

  13. Congenital Anomalies

    Number of infants diagnosed with congenital anomalies during the follow-up period.

    Time frame: From birth up to 12 months of age.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Dec 2026; primary completion for Mar 2028, 15 months later.

Of 385 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Infertility, half reached primary completion within 24 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 15 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 416 studies reached it within 24 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 43.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 26, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
