Gentler embryo test could replace risky biopsy in IVF
NCT ID NCT07700602
First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new, non-invasive method to check embryos for chromosome problems before IVF transfer. Instead of taking a cell sample, researchers analyze fluid the embryo grows in. The goal is to see if this test can predict which embryos will lead to a healthy pregnancy. The study includes women under 35 with good-quality embryos.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could make embryo genetic testing safer and more accessible by avoiding invasive biopsy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The test may not reliably predict outcomes, and results may not apply to older patients or those with fewer embryos.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The study population consists of women with good reproductive prognosis undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) at My Duc Tan Binh Hospital and My Duc Phu Nhuan Hospital. Eligible participants are women aged 18 to 34 years with normal ovarian response, undergoing their first or second IVF cycle, and having at least one morphologically good-quality blastocyst available for frozen single embryo transfer. All participants receive standard IVF treatment according to routine clinical practice. Non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (NiPGT-A) is performed retrospectively using spent embryo culture media collected prior to embryo cryopreservation and is not used for clinical decision-making during the study.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). * Age younger than 35 years at the time of oocyte retrieval. * Good ovarian response, defined as having at least four good-quality embryos (Grade 1 or Grade 2) on Day 3 or later. * Undergoing the first or second IVF cycle. * Normal semen parameters of the male partner. * Willing to undergo non-invasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (NiPGT-A) using spent embryo culture media. * Agree to vitrification of a single morphologically best-quality blastocyst and to undergo frozen single embryo transfer. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Presence of untreated uterine abnormalities, including uterine malformations or significant intrauterine pathology. * History of uterine surgery. * History of ovarian surgery. * Known metabolic disorders. * Use of donor oocytes. * In vitro maturation (IVM) cycles. * Participation in another clinical study during the study period. * Patients who do not undergo frozen single embryo transfer.
