NCT03968367 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 60

Summary

Recent studies have evaluated the use of magnetic-activated sperm sorting (MASS) to reduce apoptotic spermatozoa and improve the outcome of infertile male with assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, some results were inconsistent with above. The sperm of male with abnormal semen analysis tend to be accompanied with high apoptotic and high DNA fragmentation index (DFI). Hence, this study aimed at determining the efficiency of MASS in improving the clinical outcome of patients with high DFI).

Conditions

  • Infertility, Male

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Magnetic activated sperm sorting

MACS is a technique which allows the spermatozoa with the best characteristics to be selected for use in assisted reproduction treatments. This technique removes apoptotic spermatozoa - those which will die without achieving fertilisation - and selects the healthy ones, thus increasing the possibility of pregnancy.
