NCT ID NCT07185230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether atosiban, a drug that relaxes the womb, can improve live birth rates in women who have had previous IVF failures and have abnormal womb contractions. About 792 women aged 20-40 will receive either atosiban or a placebo before a single embryo transfer. The goal is to see if atosiban helps more women have a successful pregnancy and live birth.
