Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to perform a prospective randomized controlled trial seeking to characterize the effects of intra-ovarian injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) on biomarkers of ovarian reserve as well as IVF outcomes in women with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) and poor ovarian response (POR) who decline the use of an egg donor to establish a pregnancy.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ovarian Failure Infertility, Female Other: intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Patients will be randomized to either receive the intra-ovarian PRP injection procedure or not. Regardless of randomization patients will be re-assessed at the same time points for ovarian reserve parameters. If antral follicles are detected at follow up, patients will undergo controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and a routine in vitro fertilization cycle as per protocol.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Intervention Group
Patients randomized to this group will receive the intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection
Other: intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection
patients will undergo a transvaginal intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection

No Intervention: Control Group
Patients randomized to this group will not receive the intra-ovarian platelet rich plasma injection



Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. number of participants with a mature oocyte retrieved- POI group [ Time Frame: 24 hours post egg retrieval procedure ]
    success or failure is determined by the retrieval of at least one mature oocyte

  2. number of mature oocytes retrieved- POR group [ Time Frame: 24 hours post egg retrieval procedure ]
    the total number of mature oocytes retrieved

Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  1. POI according to ESHRE criteria (patient must fit both criteria):

    1. presence of menstrual disturbance defined as oligo/amenorrhea for at least 4 months
    2. biochemical confirmation as evidenced by an elevated FSH level >25 IU/L on two occasions > 4 weeks apart
  2. POR defined by at least two prior cycles with POR (≤3 oocytes retrieved with a conventional stimulation protocol, or a cancelled cycle due to poor response)
  3. Patients declining ovum donation treatment

Exclusion criteria

  1. Age <18yo or >38yrs
  2. Autoimmune or sex chromosome etiology of POI
  3. Ongoing malignancy
  4. Previous ovarian surgery
  5. Previous gonadotoxic treatment
  6. Anticoagulant use for which plasma infusion is contraindicated
  7. FMR1 mutations
  8. If the duration of the amenorrhea is more than 2 years, patients are discouraged to participate, although it is not an exclusion criterion.
  9. Patients with only 1 ovary
  10. BMI > 35
  11. Male partner with <100,000 total motile spermatozoa per ejaculate (donor sperm is acceptable)
  12. Surgically obtained sperm
  13. Presence of hydrosalpinges that communicate with endometrial cavity
  14. Single gene disorder or chromosomal rearrangement requiring a more detailed embryonic genetic analysis
  15. Diagnosis of endometrial insufficiency: prior cycle with maximal endometrial thickness ≤ 6mm, abnormal endometrial pattern (failure to attain a trilaminar appearance), persistent endometrial fluid
  16. Use of a gestational carrier
  17. Any contraindications to undergoing in vitro fertilization or gonadotropin stimulation
  18. Known ovaries that are not accessible transvaginally.
  19. Ovarian endometrioma(s) or dermoid cyst(s) identified via transvaginal ultrasound
  20. FSH > 40iu/l
