Optimal Allogeneic PRP Concentration for Oocyte In Vitro Maturation in Women With PCOS

Indonesia15 participantsStarted 2023-01-05

Plain-language summary

In vitro maturation is a long-studied technique used to obtain mature oocytes outside the human body. However, this method can increase the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), particularly in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Culture media supplemented with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has previously shown promise for improving oocyte maturation. This study examined the potential utility of allogeneic PRP supplementation to increase the maturation of germinal vesicle (GV)-stage oocytes collected from PCOS patients who underwent controlled ovarian stimulation. Supplementation with 5% PRP was found to support oocyte maturation under controlled ovarian stimulation. Further investigations are required to refine the use of PRP without controlled ovarian stimulation in clinical IVM protocols that may be beneficial for PCOS patients.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.

Inclusion Criteria: * Immature oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage * Oocytes obtained from patients fulfilling clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria for PCOS, defined by the presence of at least two of the following three characteristics: clinical hyperandrogenism and/or biochemical hyperandrogenemia, ovulatory dysfunction (oligomenorrhea or anovulation), and polycystic ovarian morphology (≥12 follicles measuring 2-9 mm in each ovary on ultrasonography) * Oocytes collected from patients undergoing ovarian stimulation using the same ovarian stimulation protocol. * Oocytes obtained from patients with primary infertility * Oocytes obtained from treatment-naive patients with PCOS. Exclusion Criteria: \- Oocytes obtained from patients with comorbid conditions, including cancer, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, premature ovarian failure (POF) or premature ovarian insufficiency, liver disorders, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus (type 1 or type 2), and patients receiving steroid therapy

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.
