Artificial intelligence could help pick the best embryos for IVF
NCT ID NCT07464275
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested an AI software called MAGENTA Blast that analyzes images of Day 3 embryos to predict which ones will develop into blastocysts by Day 5. Researchers looked at data from 76 women undergoing IVF to see if the tool could help embryologists make better decisions about which embryos to transfer or freeze. The goal is to improve success rates in fertility treatments.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MAGENTA Blast (AI software device)
- What this could lead to
- If validated, this AI tool could help embryologists choose the best embryos for IVF, potentially improving pregnancy success rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study (76 participants) that only tests prediction accuracy, not actual pregnancy outcomes. The tool may not work as well in real-time use or with different patient groups.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Women undergoing fresh IVF treatment using their own eggs * At least 18 years of age * Total antral follicle count (AFC) of at least 12 as measured by ultrasound prior to stimulation (in cases where AFC is performed) * Basal day 3 follicle-stimulating hormone levels (FSH) \< 10 IU (in cases where basal day 3 FSH is performed) * At least 8 normally fertilized eggs at the pronuclear (2PN) stage * Fertilization using only ejaculated sperm (fresh or frozen) - no surgically removed sperm * At least one two-cell embryo on Day 3 * At least part of the embryo cohort is cultured until day 5 (i.e. 114-116 HPI) Exclusion Criteria: * Use of re-inseminated eggs (rescue ICSI) * Gestational carriers * Concurrent participation in another clinical study * Previous enrollment in this clinical study (i.e., one cycle data per patient) * History of cancer * Planned Day 3 laser-assisted hatching or embryos that underwent Day 3 biopsy for preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) * Low quality images * Lack of correlating reproductive outcomes (IVF lab results not available)
