Participants needed for advanced IVF treatment study
We're currently conducting a research study to determine whether genetic
screening of embryos will further enhance the odds of a successful pregnancy
in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). "This study is one of the
first to combine two recent advances in infertility treatment - pre-
implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and blastocyst transfer - to increase
the chances of pregnancy with low multiple births using the fewest,
healthiest embryos," said Richard T. Scott, MD, who pioneered and directs
the study.
We need participants for this study - women, aged 38 and under with regular
menstrual cycles are invited to call our Clinical Research Coordinator at
(973) 656-2841 for more information. Patients will receive free medication,
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and PGD, if randomized to the PGD
group.
