Abington Reproductive Medicine is seeking female participants ages 38 and younger for a yearlong study comparing standard in vitro fertilization (IVF) to Autologous Endometrial Coculture. Co-developed by Dr. Barmat while at Cornell University, Coculture involves placing a patient’s fertilized eggs on top of a layer of cells from her own uterine lining, creating a more natural environment for embryo development.
Approximately 175 women, all of whom have been diagnosed with infertility and require IVF to enhance their conception possibilities, are needed for the study. Participants will be randomly assigned their treatment protocol (IVF with standard endometrial biopsy or IVF with Coculture). The Endometrial Biopsy and/or Coculture will be provided at no cost to patients. Patients will be responsible for the cost of their medication and IVF cycle.
Since Coculture has been safely performed in over 1,000 women with no reported detrimental side effects, the study carries few, if any, risks for participants. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in the study, please call 215-481-4876.
