Validating Incubators in the Lab: Optimizing Culture and Investigating blasTulation Yield
NCT06214936 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this study is to determine if benchtop incubators improve the number of embryos making it to the blastocyst stage of development (about 4-6 days after fertilization) in people undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment for their infertility. * Test the effectiveness of the benchtop incubator. * Determine if the number of embryos reaching the blastocyst stage of embryo development (the stage that the embryos are biopsied for PGT-A and frozen) is improved in the benchtop incubator compared to the box incubator. * Compare embryology outcomes between the two incubator types. * Investigate transfer and pregnancy outcomes. * Expand the knowledge surrounding the impact of the incubator on IVF outcomes. Patients will have their mature oocytes collected at the egg retrieval procedure split into two groups and randomized to be cultured in both incubator types.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06214936
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06214936 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 252 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Reproductive Medicine Associates of New Jersey, which has 13 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Infertility appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Benchtop Incubator is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT06214936 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New Jersey. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
