NCT ID NCT04339166
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether testing the fluid around embryos (non-invasive chromosome screening, or NICS) can help doctors choose the best embryo for IVF. Over 1,100 couples took part, with women aged 35-42. The goal was to see if adding NICS to standard visual checks leads to more live births and fewer miscarriages compared to visual checks alone.
