Study Summary

This trial will test whether a new fertility treatment, which involves treating eggs and sperm with a special solution, is effective.

This trial is for individuals who have experienced complete fertilization failure with standard IVF or those who have had one unsuccessful ICSI treatment cycle. It's not open to people who don't meet these specific conditions, or those who have only tried IVF without ICSI.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is examining the effectiveness of a special gamete treatment on egg and sperm. The goal is to see if this can improve fertilization rates and support embryo development before and after implantation in patients facing infertility issues.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the trial involves gamete treatment rather than drug administration, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, there may be risks associated with the procedures used to handle eggs and sperm which will be discussed by healthcare providers.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: gamete treatment- oocytes and spermExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
The spermatozoa will be prepared in the standard fashion and utilized for injection after exposure to a membrane permeabilizing agent. Patient specimen will be selected through a synthetic, sterile, single-use, culture-tested mesh. The specimen will then be placed in a 37°C environment. After 30 minutes, the selected portion is retrieved from the other side of the mesh. The injected oocytes will be then exposed to the previously mentioned activating agents for the purpose of inducing embryo development. The successfully fertilized oocytes will be further kept in culture for up to 5 days as per standard IVF/ICSI.
