Hormone pretreatment may boost IVF success in stubborn uterine infection
NCT ID NCT07642700
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving a GnRH agonist hormone treatment before a frozen embryo transfer can improve pregnancy and live birth rates in women with persistent chronic endometritis (a uterine infection that doesn't clear with antibiotics). About 150 women aged 20-40 will be followed to compare outcomes between those who receive the hormone pretreatment and those who don't. The goal is to find a better way to prepare the uterus for embryo implantation in this hard-to-treat condition.

Who is studied
This prospective cohort study enrolls infertile patients diagnosed with persistent chronic endometritis who receive FET in reproductive center. Subjects are allocated into two groups: down-regulation endometrial preparation group and conventional artificial cycle or natural cycle group. We compare implantation, clinical pregnancy, miscarriage and live birth rates between two regimens.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 20-40 years; confirmed persistent chronic endometritis (PCE) via hysteroscopy plus CD138 immunohistochemistry, defined as positive endometrial pathology after two-course antibiotic treatment for CE. * Frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) with available transferable cleavage-stage or blastocyst embryos from IVF/ICSI cycles. * No acute pelvic infection at enrollment; ≥1 month elapsed after completion of last antibiotic therapy for endometritis. * Normal uterine cavity except for inflammatory changes of PCE; no severe uterine malformation or severe intrauterine adhesion requiring surgical intervention. * Voluntarily sign informed consent and complete full follow-up of pregnancy outcomes Exclusion Criteria: * History of pelvic tuberculosis, intrauterine adhesions, submucous uterine myoma or endometrial polyp before FET * Uncontrolled systemic endocrine disorders, autoimmune diseases (APS, SLE), severe hepatic/renal/cardiopulmonary dysfunction. * Known allergy to GnRH agonist for down-regulation regimen; prior long-acting GnRH-a intolerance. * Recent use of immunosuppressant, long-term glucocorticoid or drugs interfering endometrial development within 3 months before enrollment. * Lost to follow-up or plan to abandon embryo transfer after enrollment.
