The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) on pregnancy outcomes following embryo transfer and its safety in patients with recurrent implantation failure. The main question it aims to answer is whether ZYP can improve live birth rate in participant's frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles.
Researchers will compare ZYP to a placebo (a look-alike substance with similar characteristics to ZYP) to see if it works to improve pregnancy outcomes.
Participants will:
Visit 1 (days 2-4 of the second menstrual cycle); Visit 2 (day of ovulation or day of endometrial transformation); Visit 3 (day of embryo transfer); Visit 4 (2 weeks after embryo transfer); Visit 5 (5 weeks after embryo transfer). Follow-up is scheduled at 10 weeks after embryo transfer (Visit 6) and after delivery (Visit 7), and these can be conducted remotely.

| Zishen Yutai Pill | Drug | Eligible participants start to receive ZYP within the first 5 days of their initial menstrual cycle, and will undergo frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in the following cycle. The medication will be taken without interruption till the day of pregnancy test (two weeks after embryo transfer). Patients with positive results in β-HCG test will continue to take the drug until clinical pregnancy confirmation by ultrasound three weeks later. For those with negative β-HCG results, the intervention will be stopped. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Live birth rate | Live birth is defined as delivery of any viable infants after 28 weeks of gestation. | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Endometrial thickness (ovulation day/endometrial transformation day) | Natural cycle and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle are two endometrial preparation methods before frozen embryo transfer. | On the day of ovulation (natural cycle) or on the day of endometrial transformation (HRT cycle), about 6 weeks after enrollment. |

| Endometrial pattern (ovulation day/endometrial transformation day) |
Natural cycle and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) cycle are two endometrial preparation methods before frozen embryo transfer. |
| On the day of ovulation (natural cycle) or on the day of endometrial transformation (HRT cycle), about 6 weeks after enrollment. |
| Endometrial thickness (embryo transfer day) | On the day of embryo transfer, about 6-7 weeks after enrollment. |
| Endometrial pattern (embryo transfer day) | On the day of embryo transfer, about 6-7 weeks after enrollment. |
| β-HCG positive rate | Serum β-HCG level ≥ 20 IU/L at 2 weeks after embryo transfer is defined as positive. | At 2 weeks after embryo transfer, about 8 weeks after enrollment. |
| Implantation rate | Implantation rate is defined as the number of gestational sacs per the number of embryos transferred. | At 5 weeks after embryo transfer, about 11 weeks after enrollment. |
| Clinical pregnancy rate | Clinical pregnancy is defined as the presence of intrauterine gestation sac under transvaginal ultrasonography. | At 5 weeks after embryo transfer, about 11 weeks after enrollment. |
| Ongoing pregnancy rate | Ongoing pregnancy is defined as pregnancy with live fetus beyond 10 weeks after embryo transfer (approximately 12 weeks of gestation). | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
| Biochemical pregnancy loss rate | Biochemical pregnancy loss is defined as a positive serum β-HCG test with no evidence of a gestational sac on subsequent ultrasound. | At 5 weeks after embryo transfer, about 11 weeks after enrollment. |
| Clinical pregnancy loss rate | Clinical pregnancy loss is defined as the failure of a confirmed clinical pregnancy to progress to live birth. | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
| Gestational age at delivery | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
| Birthweight | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
| Rate of adverse events | About 40 weeks after embryo transfer, up to a maximum duration of 52 weeks after enrollment. |
