    #1
    Intervention group: The patient is anesthetized and placed in a lithotomy position, after preparing and washing the vagina with normal saline, under transvaginal ultrasound guidance (Aloka-40000 vaginal probe, Japan) using needle puncture (Reproline medical Gmbh, Rheinbach/Germany). , the injection of 2 ml of extracellular vesicles derived from MSCs (equivalent to 30 million cells) will be performed into one ovary of the patient (the accessible ovary).

    گروه مداخله: بیمار بیهوش شده و در وضعیت لیتوتومی قرار می گیرد، بعد از آمادگی و شستشوی واژن با سرم نرمال سالین، تحت گاید سونوگرافی ترانس واژینال (پروب واژینال Aloka-40000 کشور ژاپن) با استفاده از نیدل پانکچر (Reproline medical Gmbh, Rheinbach/Germany), تزریق 2ml وزیکولهای خارج سلولی مشتق شده از سلولهای بنیادی مزانشیمی (معادل 30 میلیون سلول) در یک تخمدان بیمار (تخمدان در دسترس) انجام خواهد شد.

Protocol summary

Study aim
Investigating the effect of intraovarian injection of bone marrow-derived extracellular vesicles (MSC-EV) on serum levels of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH),Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels, as well as the return of the menstrual cycle in infertile patients with premature ovarian failure, as well as the evaluation of its possible side effects.
Design
A before/after clinical trial (phase I) on 10 patients
Settings and conduct
For all patients in the infertility clinic of Royan Research Institute, first a basic visit will be done to obtain basic laboratory data, hormone levels and ultrasound examination of the ovaries, and then MSC-EV will be injected into the ovaries with a determined dose.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Infertile women who have been diagnosed with premature ovarian failure and have normal body mass index and normal genetic tests are invited to participate in this project. Patients with early amenorrhea and certain immunological and cardiovascular diseases, as well as a history of ovarian masses or abnormal serological tests will not be included in the study. If the patient has undergone hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the HRT will be stopped for at least two months and then the injection cycle will be started.
Intervention groups
Injection of bone marrow-derived extracellular vesicles with a dose equivalent to 3 times 10 million clonal mesenchymal stem cells in 2 ml will be performed for all patients.
Main outcome variables
Follow-up of patients in order to respond to treatment for 8 months based on evaluation of Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH),Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels, return of menstrual cycle, ovarian ultrasound and also check possible complications due to injection (fever, bacteremia, sepsis, Pelvic inflammatory disease, anaphylactic shock and hematoma from the first 24 hours and in the first week) will be done.
