Poor Ovarian Response

The samples used in PRGF treatments owe their effectiveness to the handling, concentration, and preservation of their components, which explains why samples obtained with different platelet-rich plasma preparation systems may vary. At IVIRMA Group, we employ the closed system PRGF-Endoret to process these samples for StemCell Regenera samples obtained after mobilizing stem cells with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor stimulators. According to current regulations, PRP samples are considered medicinal products by AEMPS, requiring knowledge of the composition of processed samples to be administered to the patient. The study and quantification of samples used in StemCell Regenera treatments aim to understand how stem cell mobilization performed through this technique influences the characteristics of PRGF-Endoret. In this context, the present project aims to systematically analyse the proteomic profile of PRP/PRGF before and after haematopoietic stem cell mobilisation in poor-responder patients, and to evaluate its biological impact in vitro using human ovarian cell models. This approach will enable the identification of key factors involved in ovarian activation and regeneration, thereby providing a mechanistic basis for optimising regenerative therapies applied in clinical reproductive medicine. Furthermore, it will contribute scientifically relevant insights to the field of research and to patients themselves.

Poor ovarian response (POR) is a pathological state where the ovaries do not respond well to the stimulation of gonadotropins. It is mainly characterized by a small number of developing follicles, a high cancellation rate of the ovarian stimulation cycle, a low number of retrieved oocytes, and a low clinical pregnancy rate. Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a special type of this condition and is one of the most difficult infertility diseases to treat. The incidence of POR and POI in reproductive-aged women in China is increasing year by year, making them key and challenging issues in reproductive medicine. New local ovarian cell therapy can improve the microenvironment for follicle development, promote the development and ovulation of "dormant" primordial follicles, and improve the quality of oocytes. This study intends to conduct autologous fat vascular matrix components (SVF) or autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) local injection therapy for patients with POR and POI, and conduct a prospective exploratory study to evaluate the safety of this clinical technique. Subsequently, a prospective randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous fat vascular matrix components (SVF) or autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) local injection therapy in improving ovarian reserve and IVF-ET outcomes. This study is expected to improve the fertility of patients with POR from the perspective of autologous cell therapy. The autologous SVF and PRP local injection techniques do not involve ethical barriers, are easy to standardize the diagnosis and treatment process and operation system, and are suitable for clinical translation and promotion.

Female fertility is affected by many factors, such as ovarian function, fallopian tube patency, uterine environment, and mental state, among which the ovaries and endometrium are more important. In reproductive medicine, ovarian dysfunction, poor ovarian reaction, intrauterine adhesion, recurrent implantation failure, and thin endometrium are the five most common diseases that affect fertility. These five diseases lack effective treatment, and previous studies have shown that platelet-rich plasma is promising in treating these five diseases, so it is necessary to further explore the therapeutic effect and potential mechanism.
