Anti-TNFα Therapy for Improving Pregnancy Rates in Endometriosis Patients With Failed ICSI
NCT07509411 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 145
Last updated 2026-08-11
Summary
This prospective study targets infertile women with endometriosis (EM) who have experienced a previously failed Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) trial. Using the P-I-C-O framework, the study evaluates whether the administration of an anti-TNF-α therapy (Intervention) 4-5 days before a frozen blastocyst transfer (FBT) improves reproductive outcomes compared to standard protocols (Comparison). The primary outcome is the clinical pregnancy rate, with secondary outcomes focusing on implantation, ongoing pregnancy, and neonatal health. The goal is to determine if mitigating pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α can enhance endometrial receptivity in this specific high-risk population.
Conditions
Interventions
- DRUG
-
TNF-α Inhibitor
Administered 4-5 days before the frozen blastocyst transfer. A second session is provided two weeks later only for those with a positive chemical pregnancy diagnosis.
- PROCEDURE
-
Frozen Blastocyst Transfer (FBT)
Transfer of a D-5 blastocyst (Grade AA6) following a standardized endometrial preparation involving GnRH-agonist, estradiol valerate, and progesterone.
