China288 participantsStarted 2025-12-10

Plain-language summary

Hypotheses: We hypothesize that infertility patients undergoing IUI who receive female autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) co-incubation with husband's sperm would have higher clinical pregnancy rate. Aims: * To determine if the use of female autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI will show higher clinical pregnancy rate (CPR). Clinical pregnancy rate as determined by a positive serum beta-hCG test result and at least one gestational sac at 6 weeks gestation * To assess the safety of female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI. Primary outcome: To compare the incidence of clinical pregnancy outcome in those infertility patients undergoing IUI with female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm group and non-PRP group. Secondary outcomes: * To evaluate the safeness between the female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI group and non-PRP group, including potential infection rate or other complications such as ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy * To evaluate the sperm quality between the intervention group and control group Data analysis: Data analysis will be performed using Statistical Packages of Social Sciences for Windows Expected results: The investigators expect that a 50% pregnancy rate increase after the application of female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

What they're measuring

Rate of clinical pregnancy

Timeframe: 6 weeks gestation and ultrasound scanning will be performed to confirm at least one gestational sac around 2 to 3 months after IUI.
