Phase II,III


Assessment

Primary outcomes

Ongoing pregnancy rate.
Participant centers should treat the patients following the descriptions specified in EMMA/ALICE reports, antibiotic treatments, probiotic treatments, re-analysis, and embryo transfer after re-analysis. All patients participating in this study should obtain re-analysis if necessary. Data of ongoing pregnancy rates should be collected by participant centers after embryo implantation for analysis.

Key secondary outcomes

1.One variable per each microorganism identified in endometrial biopsy.
2.Microbiome found in endometrial biopsy (LD/NLD)
Presence of bacterial microbiome; Identified bacteria are classified into the following two groups:
Group 1 (LD): Lactobacillus dominated microbiome (>90% Lactobacillus spp.), composed of different species of the genus Lactobacillus: L. crispatus, L. gasseri, L. iners, L.jensenii, among others.
Group 2 (NLD): non-Lactobacillus dominated microbiome (<90% Lactobacillus spp. with at least 10% of dysbiotic bacteria), formed by species that modify the physiological endometrial conditions, therefore decreasing the prevalence of Lactobacillus
Analysis implantation rate, Live Birth rates and Miscarriage rate after embryo implantation.

Interventions/Control_1

Endometrial tissue will be obtained from patients by aspiration using a Pipelle catheter (or similar) on 15-25 day of menstrual cycle and will be used for the diagnosis of the microbiome by Next-generation sequencing(NGS).

Interventions/Control_2

EMMA Reports with [Normal] result, which indicate the patients with endometrial microbiome dominated by genus Lactobacillus, will continue their ART treatments according to the standard protocol of the clinic. Patients with [Abnormalresult], which their endometrial microbiome dominated by non-Lactobacillus genus, will follow the recommended therapy and will undergo a second endometrium sampling and testing. Embryo transfer for these patients should be performed after their microbiome have been corrected.

6, Patients who have taken prescribed antibiotics at least 3 months before the sample collection. (Cases where the patient has received previous prophylactic antibiotics to ovarian puncture in the stimulation cycle, according to the standard clinical practice of the clinic, may be accepted if the administration of the antibiotic was made at least 1 month before the sample collection).
7, Patients who have taken antibiotics other than those recommended by EMMA/ALICE between sample collection and embryo transfer.
8, Any illness or medical condition that is unstable or can put patient safety at risk and compromise the compliance of the study.
