Could embryo glue help more IVF babies be born?
NCT ID NCT06492785
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two embryo transfer liquids—one with a high amount of hyaluronic acid (a natural 'sticky' substance) and one with a low amount—to see which leads to more live births. About 858 women having a single embryo transfer will take part. The goal is to find out if the high-hyaluronic-acid medium really improves IVF outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- hyaluronic acid (in embryo transfer medium)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could improve the chance of a live birth after a single embryo transfer in IVF.
- What could go wrong
- This is a medium-scale trial, but the difference between high and low hyaluronic acid may be small, and results may not apply to all fertility patients.
