The EPIC Study: Exploring Paternal Age and the Influence on Blastocyst Culture

Sponsor: Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to assess the effect of age of the male partner and the reproductive ability of sperm prepared via sperm selection devices (Zymot) compared to routine embryologist selected sperm after density gradient centrifugation (DGC) preparation for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization treatment (IVF) of their infertility.

Interventions

DEVICE

Microfluidic sperm separation device

An aliquot of 850ul will be used for the Zymot sperm selection device. The sperm processing via Zymot will be per manufacturer's guidelines

OTHER

Density grade centrifugation

5ul of the ejaculated sample will be assessed for DGC via Makler assessment. If the sample for DGC is adequate per lab standard operating procedures, then routine DGC sperm preparation and embryologist sperm selection for the ICSI procedure will occur.
