New blood test could boost IVF success for women with repeated failure
NCT ID NCT07363018
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a simple blood test measuring miRNA levels can predict the best time to transfer an embryo during IVF. About 546 women with unexplained recurrent implantation failure will be randomly assigned to either standard embryo transfer or transfer timed based on the blood test results. The goal is to see if personalized timing improves pregnancy rates.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- peripheral blood miRNA analysis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this blood test could help doctors time embryo transfers more precisely, potentially increasing pregnancy rates for women with recurrent implantation failure.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with no prior proof of benefit. The test may not improve outcomes, and results may not apply to all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with unexplained recurrent implantation failure (RIF) meeting the diagnostic criteria for RIF: adult women under 40 years old who have failed to achieve clinical pregnancy after 3 embryo transfer cycles; or after transferring at least 3 high-quality embryos. Definition of high-quality embryos: Day 3 embryos (with a cell count ≥7 and fragmentation rate \<10%) and blastocysts (≥3BB). 2. Female BMI: 18.5-25 kg/m². 3. Endometrial thickness ≥7 mm during the embryo transfer cycle. 4. Women planning to undergo frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) of blastocysts following in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). 5. Signed informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Known causes of embryo implantation failure, such as infections, reproductive tract malformations, uterine cavity factors, adenomyosis or endometriosis, autoimmune system diseases (diagnosed by immunology department), hydrosalpinx, etc. 2. Couples with chromosomal abnormalities (excluding chromosomal polymorphisms) or familial genetic disorders in either or both partners. 3. Women with a history of recurrent miscarriage. 4. Women with contraindications to pregnancy or assisted reproductive technology.
