Official title
Autologous Adipose-derived Stromal Vascular Fraction Therapy for Refractory Endometrial Infertility
Overview
The purpose of this study is to initially explore the efficacy of adipose-derived stromal vascular fraction (AD-SVF) therapy in the treatment of refractory endometrial infertility.
Detailed description
Patients with refractory thin endometrium (endometrial thickness \< 6 mm at late proliferative phase or after high-dose estrogen therapy) and/or moderate to severe intrauterine adhesion are recruited for fertility. After detailed explanation of the treatment plan, written informed consent will be obtained from the patients. The subjects undergo liposuction performed by plastic surgeons to obtain adipose tissue, from which AD-SVF is isolated and extracted for intrauterine infusion therapy. Six months post-AD-SVF treatment, the improvement in menstrual volume and endometrial thickness will be assessed during follow-up visits. The subjects will be advised, based on their personal inclination, to attempt conception (hysteroscopic surgery will be repeated if necessary), and their early pregnancy outcomes will be documented in subsequent follow-ups.
Interventions
- Biological AD-SVF
AD-SVF is isolated and extracted from adipose tissue for intrauterine infusion therapy.
Primary outcome measures
- Proportion of patients with endometrial thickness of 6 mm or greater [Time frame: 6 months after AD-SVF intrauterine infusion therapy]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Menstrual flow score at the 2nd month post-treatment [Time frame: 2 months after AD-SVF intrauterine infusion therapy]
- Menstrual flow score at the 6th month post-treatment [Time frame: 6 months after AD-SVF intrauterine infusion therapy]
- Chemical pregnancy [Time frame: 9 months after AD-SVF intrauterine infusion therapy]
- Clinical pregnancy [Time frame: 9 months after AD-SVF intrauterine infusion therapy]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- refractory thin endometrium (endometrial thickness < 6 mm on the day of ovulation or the day of endometrial transformation during a hormone replacement cycle) and/or moderate to severe intrauterine adhesion;
- Inability to undergo autologous bone marrow stem cells-scaffold (BMSC) transplantation due to failed bone marrow aspiration, or lack of significant effect following the BMSC treatment;
- with fertility intentions;
- normal ovarian function or availability of cryopreserved embryos;
- 18kg/m\^2 < body mass index (BMI) < 30kg/m\^2;
Exclusion criteria
- Chromosomal karyotype abnormalities in one spouse;

- Contraindications for pregnancy;
- Contraindications for hormonal cycle therapy;
- History of pelvic tumors;
- Simultaneous participation in other clinical studies.
