AI and DNA test may boost IVF success for older women
NCT ID NCT07461077
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new method that combines a non-invasive genetic test (NICS) with artificial intelligence (AI) against the standard way of picking embryos by looks alone. It includes 520 women aged 35-43 or with a history of recurrent miscarriage who are doing IVF. The goal is to see if the new method leads to more live births.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Conventional IVF insemination; 2. Meeting either of the following: 1. Advanced maternal age: female age 35-43 years; 2. Recurrent miscarriage: ≥2 spontaneous pregnancy losses (\<28 gestational weeks), including biochemical pregnancy (hCG \>25 IU/L) ; 3. Willingness to culture all Day 3 embryos to the blastocyst stage in the fresh cycle, or to culture ≥6 embryos (with at least one embryo ≥7 cells), and to cryopreserve all blastocysts as single-blastocyst vitrification; 4. Willingness to undergo frozen-thawed single-blastocyst transfer; 5. At least two blastocysts formed on Day 5/Day 6 from 2PN fertilization, with morphological grading ≥4BC/4CB; 6. Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Any use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection-based fertilization, including but not limited to ICSI, TESA, and PGT-related cycles; 2. Known monogenic disorders or chromosomal abnormalities at enrollment; 3. Patients who use donated eggs to achieve pregnancy; 4. Definite conditions affecting uterine cavity anatomy or endometrial receptivity, such as untreated uterine malformations (e.g., septate uterus, unicornuate uterus, didelphys uterus) or untreated hydrosalpinx; 5. Contraindications to pregnancy or to assisted reproductive technology; 6. Any other condition deemed by the investigators to make the participant unsuitable for this study.
