Today, it is widespread practice to postpone frozen embryo transfer (FET) in a modified natural cycle (mNC) for at least one menstrual cycle after oocyte retrieval and failed fresh embryo transfer or freeze-all. The rationale behind this practice is the concern that suboptimal ovarian, endometrial or endocrinological conditions following ovarian stimulation may have a negative impact on endometrial receptivity and implantation. However, two recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses based on retrospective data did not support this practice. As unnecessary delay in time to transfer and pregnancy should be avoided, the aim of this study is to investigate if immediate single blastocyst transfer in mNC-FET is non-inferior to standard postponed single blastocyst transfer in mNC-FET in terms of live birth rate.
Multicentre randomised controlled non-blinded trial including 464 normo-ovulatory women aged 18-40 years undergoing single blastocyst mNC-FET after a failed fresh or freeze-all cycle. Participants are randomised 1:1 to either FET in the first menstrual cycle following the stimulated cycle (immediate FET) or FET in the second or subsequent cycle following the stimulated cycle (postponed FET). The study is designed as a non-inferiority trial and primary analyses will be performed as intention to treat and per protocol.
Ethical approval has been granted by the Scientific Ethical Committee of the Capital Region of Denmark (J-nr.: H-19086300). Data will be handled according to Danish law on personal data protection in accordance with the general data protection regulation. Participants will complete written consent forms regarding participation in the study and storage of blood samples in a biobank for future research. The study will be monitored by a Good Clinical Practice (GCP)-trained study nurse not otherwise involved in the study. The results of this study will be disseminated by publication in international peer-reviewed scientific journals.

如今,在取卵后新鲜胚胎移植失败或全胚冷冻后,人们普遍倾向于将冻融胚胎移植(FET)推迟到至少一个修改后的自然周期(mNC)的月经周期。这种做法的理论依据是,取卵后卵巢、子宫内膜或内分泌状况不佳可能会对子宫内膜容受性和着床产生负面影响。然而,最近基于回顾性数据的两项系统评价和荟萃分析并不支持这种做法。由于应避免不必要的延迟时间和妊娠,因此本研究旨在探究 mNC-FET 中即刻单囊胚移植是否不劣于 mNC-FET 中标准延迟单囊胚移植的活产率。
本研究为多中心随机对照非盲试验,纳入了 464 名年龄在 18-40 岁之间的自然排卵正常的女性,这些女性在新鲜周期或全胚冷冻周期失败后进行 mNC-FET 单囊胚移植。参与者以 1:1 的比例随机分为刺激周期后第一个月经周期行 FET(即刻 FET)或刺激周期后第二个或以后的周期行 FET(延迟 FET)。该研究设计为非劣效性试验,主要分析将根据意向治疗和方案进行。
