Summary

This study tests whether Zishen Yutai Pill, a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, can improve live birth rates in women who have had repeated failure to implant embryos after IVF. About 878 women aged 20-40 will receive either the pill or a placebo before and after frozen embryo transfer. The goal is to see if the pill increases the chance of a successful pregnancy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Zishen Yutai Pill (herbal medicine)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new option to improve pregnancy success for women who have repeatedly failed to implant embryos after IVF.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage trial with no phase specified, and the herbal pill may not outperform placebo. Results may not apply to all fertility patients.
