  • Protocol summary

    Objectives: the investigation of oral melatonin effect on the mean number of the retrieved oocytes, the mean metaphase II (MII) oocyte counts, the degenerate oocyte rates, the fertilization rate, the embryo quality, the biochemical pregnancy rate, and the serum level of progesterone in mid luteal phase in women undergoing IVF. Design: a randomized controlled clinical trial study, single blind, Block Balanced Randomization, and Parallel Setting, conduct and intervention: All of the women undergoing IVF are evaluated by a physician. One hundred women undergoing IVF are eligible for inclusion in this trial. Women are divided into two groups. The study group (group A, n=50) is underwent the IVF with melatonin administration and the control group (group B, n=50) without melatonin and finally the IVF outcomes are compared between the two groups. Major inclusion criteria: Age 18-42 yrs.; normal level of serum steroidal hormones; agonist long protocol of controlled ovarian stimulation; male factor; tubal factor; and unexplained infertility. Exclusion criteria: hypertension; diabetes mellitus; myoma; adenomyosis; a congenital uterine anomaly; ovarian cyst; use of estrogens; progesterone; androgens; or chronic use of any medication; including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents or anticonvulsants, smoking; moderate/severe endometriosis. Variables: Total number of the oocytes; the metaphase II (MII) oocyte counts; the degenerate oocyte counts; the fertilization rate; the embryo quality; the biochemical pregnancy rate

  • Intervention groups

    #1
    Intervention group:Oral melatonin tablet is administered to fifty women undergoing IVF as an intervention group. Daily melatonin dosage is 3 mg orally (nature made,USA) taken at 22:00–23:00 pm. The written informed consent is taken from all of the patients administration of melatonin begins from the 21th day of the previous menstrual cycle until the day of oocyte retrieval. Patients undergo in vitro fertilization with a standardized ovarian-stimulation protocol, GnRH agonist. The daily administration of Buserelin acetate (Suprefact, Germany) 500 μg is started preceding the IVF cycle from day 21. Ovarian stimulation is started on the 3rd day of the current menstrual cycle by injection of rFSH Follitropin alfa (Gonal F, Italy) at a daily dose of 150 to 225 IU in each group. Administration of Buserelin is continued until hCG is injected. When at least 3 follicles with a mean diameter of 17 mm are developed (evaluated by transvaginal sonography), hCG (Choriomon, Switzerland) 5000 IU/2/IM is injected. About 34–36 after hCG injection, oocyte retrieval is performed

    گروه مداخله: به 50 زن تحت لقاح آزمایشگاهی به عنوان گروه مورد قرص ملاتونین خوراکی داده میشود. یک قرص ملاتونین 3 میلی گرم خوراکی (nature made، امریکا) از روز 21 سیکل قاعدگی قبل تا روز تخمک گیری، ساعت10 هر شب ( 21 شب متوالی) توسط بیمار مصرف میشود. فرم رضایت نامه آگاهانه از بیماران دریافت میشود. چهت پروتکل طولانی مدت تحریک تخمدان دارویGnRH agonist بوسرلین استات (سوپرفکت، آلمان) استفاده می شود. در این پروتکل، از روز 21 سیکل قبل، روزانه 500 میکروگرم بوسرلین استات مصرف می شود. تحریک تخمدان با rFSH فولیتروپین آلفا (گنال اف، ایتالیا) از روز سوم قاعدگی سیکل جاری (روزانه 150 تا 225 واحد) صورت می گیرد. وقتی حداقل 3 فولیکول 17 میلی متری در سونوگرافی تخمدان دیده شد، دو آمپول گنادوتروپین جفتی ( کوریومون، سوئد) 500 واحدی عضلانی، تزریق میشود. 36-34 ساعت بعد از تزریق گنادوتروپین جفتی، برداشت تخمک صورت می گیرد.

    #2
    Control group: Oral melatonin tablet is not administered to fifty women undergoing IVF as a control group. We do not use a placebo in the control group due to logistic restraints. Patients undergo in vitro fertilization with a standardized ovarian-stimulation protocol, GnRH agonist. The daily administration of Buserelin acetate 500 (Suprefact, Germany) μg is started preceding the IVF cycle from day 21. Ovarian stimulation is started on the 3rd day of the current menstrual cycle by injection of rFSH Follitropin alfa (Gonal F, Italy) at a daily dose of 150 to 225 IU in each group. Administration of Buserelin is continued until hCG is injected.

    گروه کنترل: 50 زن تحت لقاح آزمایشگاهی به عنوان گروه کنترل در نظر گرفته شده و قرص ملاتونین دریافت نمی کنند. برای این گروه به دلیل محدودیت های لجستیکی پلاسبو مصرف نمی شود. چهت پروتکل طولانی مدت تحریک تخمدان دارویGnRH agonist بوسرلین استات (سوپرفکت، آلمان) استفاده می شود. در این پروتکل، از روز 21 سیکل قبل، روزانه 500 میکروگرم بوسرلین استات مصرف می شود تحریک تخمدان با rFSH فولیتروپین آلفا (گنال اف، ایتالیا) از روز سوم قاعدگی سیکل جاری (روزانه 150 تا 225 واحد) صورت می گیرد. وقتی حداقل 3 فولیکول 17 میلی متری در سونوگرافی تخمدان دیده شد، دو آمپول گنادوتروپین جفتی( کوریومون، سوئد) 500 واحدی عضلانی، تزریق میشود. 36-34 ساعت بعد از تزریق گنادوتروپین جفتی، برداشت تخمک صورت می گیرد.

Protocol summary

Study aim
Mean number of the total retrieved oocytes, metaphase II, and degenerate oocytes count, and fertilization rate, embryo quality, biochemical pregnancy rate in women undergoing IVF.
Design
A non-randomized controlled clinical trial, single blind, and Parallel. All infertile patients have received a standard ovarian stimulation protocol (gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) long protocol. By physicians’ decision, patients who were assigned to the intervention group received melatonin as a supplementation to the standard regimen. Infertile patients who were assigned to the control group only received a standardized ovarian stimulation protocol (n=45).
Settings and conduct
Ninety infertile couples undergo IVF/ (ICSI) at the Infertility Center of Tehran Yas Hospital of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. A single-blind non-RCT, and Parallel carries out.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Women who undergo IVF treatment because of male factor, tubal factor, or unexplained infertility, not smoking, do not have ovulatory dysfunction, age ≤40 years, and have a normal baseline follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) (<10 mIU/mL). Patients with serious endometriosis, myoma, congenital uterine anomalies, and chronic use of any medication including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents or anticonvulsants were excluded from the study.
Intervention groups
Ninety women undergoing IVF are eligible for inclusion in this trial. Women are divided into two groups. The study group (group A, n=45) is underwent the IVF with melatonin administration and the control group (group B, n=45) without melatonin.
Main outcome variables
Total number of the retrieved oocytes and MII oocyte counts; the degenerate oocyte counts; the fertilization rate; the embryo quality; the biochemical pregnancy rate.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention group: Oral melatonin tablet is administered to 45 women undergoing IVF as an intervention group. Daily melatonin dosage is 3 mg orally (nature made,USA) taken at 22:00 pm. The written informed consent is taken from all of the patients. ََAdministration of melatonin begins from the 21th day of the previous menstrual cycle until the day of oocyte retrieval. Patients undergo in vitro fertilization with a standardized ovarian-stimulation protocol, GnRH agonist. The daily administration of Buserelin acetate (Suprefact, Germany) 500 μg is started preceding the IVF cycle from day 21. Ovarian stimulation is started on the 3rd day of the current menstrual cycle by injection of rFSH Follitropin alfa (Gonal F, Italy) at a daily dose of 150 to 225 IU in each group. Administration of Buserelin is continued until hCG is injected. When at least 3 follicles with a mean diameter of 17 mm are developed (evaluated by transvaginal sonography), hCG (Choriomon, Switzerland) 5000 IU/2/IM is injected. About 34–36 after hCG injection, oocyte retrieval is performed.
