Patients with recurrent implantation failure are among the most difficult patients to treat, with no proven standard treatment. Platelet rich plasma stimulates cellular processes involved in endometrial regeneration, and in a small case series has shown efficacy for this patient population. We hope to conduct a randomized controlled pilot study to determine whether PRP is indeed an effective treatment for recurrent implantation failure.
Patients considered to have recurrent implantation failure will undergo randomization to receive intrauterine infusions of platelet rich plasma or a placebo of embryo culture media prior to their embryo transfer. All patients will undergo a blood draw to obtain 60ml of blood from which 0.5ml of platelet rich plasma will be obtained. Those randomized to receive the platelet rich plasma will have platelet rich plasma placed into the uterine cavity at least 48 hours prior to the embryo transfer, while those randomized to receive placebo will have embryo culture media placed into the uterine cavity at the same point in time. Those randomized to the placebo group will have the opportunity to be placed into the treatment group if no pregnancy was attained. Transfer outcomes including implantation rate, pregnancy rate, and live birth rate, will be recorded.
