Comparing blastocyst euploid rates between the progestin-primed and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist protocols in aneuploidy genetic testing: a randomised trial protocol

This study aims to compare the euploidy rate of blastocysts following the PPOS protocol and the gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist protocol in women undergoing preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). Methods/analysis This is a randomised trial. A total of 400 women undergoing PGT-A will be enrolled and randomised according to a computer-generated randomisation list to either (1) the antagonist group: an antagonist given once daily from day 6 of ovarian stimulation till the day of the ovulation trigger; or (2) the PPOS group: dydrogesterone from the first day of ovarian stimulation till the day of ovulation trigger. The primary outcome is the euploidy rate of blastocysts. Ethics/dissemination An ethical approval was granted from the ethics committee of assisted reproductive medicine in Shanghai JiAi Genetics and IVF institute (JIAIE2020-03). A written informed consent will be obtained from each woman before any study procedure is performed, according to good clinical practice. The results of this randomised trial will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal. Trial registration number NCT04414748.
