Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could I be a candidate for this experiment?

"This clinical trial is testing a new fertility medication by enrolling 680 patients that fit the following description: between 35-42 years old, have a history of infertility, meet the Body Mass Index criteria, have had no more than 3 euploid blastocyst transfers without success, and have a normal uterine cavity."

Answered by AI

Does this experiment have an age limit?

"Based on the study's eligibility requirements, patients aged 35 to 42 are able to participate. Out of the 72 total trials, this is one of 23 that isn't limited to seniors or minors."

Answered by AI

What do researchers hope to learn from Investigational treatments?

"The drug 'Investigational' is given to patients with uterine hemorrhage. However, it has also been shown to mitigate the effects of hormonal imbalance, prevent recurrent cases of spontaneous preterm birth, and Endometrial Hyperplasia caused by conjugated estrogen."

Answered by AI

What are the main goals of this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial will last for 5 weeks, during which time the success of the intervention in achieving ongoing pregnancy will be monitored. Additionally, local tolerability (defined as any reactions experienced at the injection site or in the genital area) and delivery rate will be noted. Finally, ectopic pregnancy rate will also be tracked."

Answered by AI

Could you please list some other studies that have used Investigational drugs?

"45 trials are being conducted for the investigational stage, 8 of which are in Phase 3. Many of these trials have Barcelona, Catalunya as their location; however, there are 273 total sites running these types of clinical trials."

Answered by AI

Are we still enrolling individuals for this experiment?

"The study is currently recruiting, according to the data on clinicaltrials.gov. This information was initially posted on October 12th, 2020 and was last updated November 10th, 2020."

Answered by AI

In how many different medical clinics is this trial being run?

"There are a total of 15 different fertility clinics participating in this study. These include, but are not limited to: Care Fertility in Bedford, IVF Florida Reproductive Associates in Margate, and Kindbody located in Los Angeles."

Answered by AI

Is there a danger to using Investigational medication?

"There is already some evidence of efficacy from earlier phases as well as multiple rounds of safety testing, so the Investigational drug receives a score of 3."

Answered by AI

How many people are being chosen to participate in this research project?

"The sponsor, IBSA Institut Biochimique SA, needs to recruit 680 patients that match the clinical trial's inclusion criteria from different fertility clinics including Care Fertility in Bedford, Texas and IVF Florida Reproductive Associates in Margate, Florida."

Why did patients apply to this trial?

My husband and I had a ectopic pregnancy and we don’t know why. I was told that this is the first tome they have ever saw and ectopic abort itself without meds, surgery or patient dying.
PatientReceived 1 prior treatment
I have been trying for 25 cycles to become pregnant. I had a tubal reversal March 2022. My HSG test shows clear tubes and a normal uterus. I have tried letrozole. I ovulate normally. Normal, 28 day cycles.
PatientReceived 2+ prior treatments
I have tried many fertility treatments for the past 8 years. Nothing has worked for me. My fiance and I want to start our family together. It has been a financial burden on us because we have spent thousands of dollars without a positive outcome. Please allow me to join this trial in hopes that there will be a baby at the end.
