Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ABCD-Endosera derived from platelets in enhancing endometrial thickness and live birth
rates among patients with thin endometrium.
Methods
This self-controlled pilot study included 50 patients with a history of refractory thin endometrium and minimum
three cycle cancellations due to this condition. Participants underwent intrauterine infusions of autologous growth factors ABCD-
Endosera in their current cycle and were compared to their previous cycle without ABCD-Endosera treatment.
Results
The endometrial thickness before the treatment was 6.6 mm (±1.1) significantly increased to 8.2 mm (±0.9) on the day
of embryo transfer with a mean increase of 1.6 mm. Secondary outcomes indicated that embryo transfer was carried out in 94%
(47/50) of the patients, with 4% (2/50) experiencing cycle cancellation, and 2% (1/50) lost to follow up. The clinical pregnancy
rate stood at 50% (25/50), while 44% (22/50) did not result in pregnancy. One patient (2%, 1/50) had a biochemical pregnancy,
and three patients (6%, 3/50) experienced a miscarriage. The live birth rate was 42% (21/50). The procedure was well tolerated
without severe adverse events.
Conclusions
Our findings suggest that ABCD-Endosera significantly improves endometrial thickness and shows promising live
birth rates in patients with refractory thin endometrium. This pilot study provides a foundation for future larger trials, suggesting
ABCD- Endosera could offer a viable treatment strategy for patients with thin endometrium seeking successful pregnancies and live
births.

Plain Language Summary
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a new treatment called
ABCD-Endosera in women with thin endometrium. Thin endome -
trium is a condition in which the lining of the uterus is too thin,
which can make it difficult to get pregnant. Fifty women with thin
endometrium were included in the study. They received intrauter -
ine infusions of ABCD-Endosera, which is a mixture of growth fac -
tors derived from platelets. The researchers compared the women’s
endometrial thickness and pregnancy outcomes to their previous
cycles without ABCD-Endosera treatment. The results showed that
ABCD-Endosera significantly increased endometrial thickness. Of
the 50 women, 47 were able to have embryo transfers. The clini -
cal pregnancy rate was 50%, and the live birth rate was 42%. The
researchers concluded that ABCD-Endosera is a safe and effective
treatment for women with thin endometrium. It significantly im -
proves endometrial thickness and shows promising live birth rates.
Introduction
The human endometrium, which undergoes numerous cycles
of growth, differentiation, and detachment throughout a woman’s
life, plays a crucial role in providing the site for embryo implanta -
tion and sustaining the normal development and survival of the em-
bryo. Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) heavily rely on the
successful implantation of a genetically normal embryo within a re-
ceptive endometrium, the innermost epithelial layer lining the uter-
us. Thin endometrium is a significant cause of implantation failure
and recurrent pregnancy loss in Assisted Reproductive Technology
(ART) treatments [1,2]. A morphologically normal endometrium is
a critical factor for the success of ART programs. Current data sug -
gests that 50% to 66% of implantation failures are linked to inad -
equate endometrial receptivity. An optimal endometrial thickness
for embryo transfer is considered to be 7mm or more [3,4]. A thick-
ness less than 7mm, known as thin endometrium, often results in
reduced implantation, early-stage miscarriages, premature births,
low birth weight infants, and failures in ART programs. Over the
years, numerous methods, such as hormonal manipulation through
extended estrogen dosing or enhancement of endometrial perfu -
sion via low dose aspirin, pentoxifylline, vitamin E, sildenafil, and
Granulocyte colony-stim-ulating factor (G-CSF), have been em -
ployed to achieve optimal endometrial thickness. Nevertheless, not
all thin endometrium cases have demonstrated improvements with
these methods. Some studies have reported improved Endometrial
Thickness (ET) following intrauterine Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
administration [5,6].
In recent years, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) has been investi -
gated as a potential therapy to improve endometrial thickness and
reproductive outcomes in women with thin endometrium and the
concept of using PRP for in vivo treatment of human thin endome -
trium was first introduced in 2015 [7]. PRP represents a promising
and emerging trend in the field of regenerative and reproductive
medicine, particularly for thin endometrium treatment, thereby
garnering the interest of IVF specialists. The method involves the
concentration of platelets in plasma at a level exceeding that found
in whole blood which release various growth factors and cytokines
upon activation, promoting tissue repair and regeneration [8].
The efficacy of this method is attributed to the biologically active
growth factors secreted by platelets, including pro-regenerative,
proliferative, angiogenic, chemotactic, anti-inflammatory, and an -
ti-apoptotic activities. PRP is rich in growth factors such as vascular
endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF),
Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF), Insulin-Like Growth Factor
(IGF), Transforming Growth Factor (TGF), and other cytokines that
stimulate proliferation and growth [9,10]. The use of growth fac -
tors has shown promise in various medical fields, such as wound
healing, orthopedics, and dentistry, where they have been used to
promote tissue regeneration and repair [11]. This evidence sup -
ports the potential therapeutic application of growth factors in the
treatment of thin endometrium. The focus has shifted toward the
use of Growth Factor Concentrate (GFC) derived from platelets,
which has demonstrated promising results in preclinical studies
[12]. ABCD-Endosera contains a higher concentration of growth
factors and cytokines, which may contribute to its enhanced regen-
erative effects on the endometrium compared to PRP [13]. Addi -
tionally, ABCD-Endosera has been shown to promote angiogenesis,
cell proliferation, and migration, which are critical processes for
endometrial development and receptivity [14,15]. This pilot study
aims to evaluate the efficacy of ABCD-Endosera, a next generation
growth factor that concentrates preparation [16,17] in improving
endometrial thickness and live birth rate among patients with thin
endometrium.
Methods
Study Design and Participants
This was an IEC approved (Protocol No.: SGN/CHE/ETR/0119),
self-controlled pilot study conducted between July 2019-Sep 2021.
A total of 50 patients with a history of thin endometrium under -
going IVF (freeze all approach) were enrolled. After obtaining
informed consent, infertile women of age less than 39 years who
have EMT persistently less than 7mm on baseline endometrial eval-
uation before IVF despite standard HRT and normal endometrial
cavity during hysteroscopic evaluation and women with a history
of cycle cancellation during FET cycles due to persistent thin endo-
metrium were included in the study.
a) Inclusion Criteria
1. Patients in previous frozen embryo transfer cycles had
their uterine lining which was persistently thin (characterized by
endometrial thickness<7mm), presented with inadequate response
to treatments to increase blood flow to the endometrium include
extended estrogen doses, low-dose aspirin, sildenafil, or Vitamin E
and therapies like PRP and G-CSF.
2. Experienced one or more unsuccessful IVF cycles, despite
having good quality embryos ready for transfer.
3. Women with normal transvaginal ultrasounds and no sig-
nificant issues in their uterus or nearby areas were included.
4. Patients tested negative for genital tuberculosis using Ac-
id-Fast Bacillus (AFB) culture.

b) Exclusion Criteria
Patients were excluded if they had a history of intrauterine ad-
hesions, endometrial cavity infections, pelvic cancer, severe endo -
metriosis, submucosal uterine myomas or endometrial polyps and
adenomyosis. Endometrial thickness was measured with vaginal
ultrasound at its thickest part in the longitudinal axis of the uterus
and was performed by the same investigator using a computerized
vaginal ultrasound. This investigator was blind to the conditions
of patients. Thin endometrium was defined as the endometrium
thickness <7mm on the day when progesterone was given in HRT
cycles [18].
Preparation of Endometrium
All the patients underwent standard Hormone Replacement
Therapy (HRT) protocols for endometrial preparation. The proto -
col involved the incremental use of oral estradiol valerate 2mg/day
during days 1-7, 4mg/day during days 8-12, 6mg/day during days
13 to embryo transfer [38]. Transvaginal ultrasound was used to
monitor endometrial thickness, and once it reached 7 mm, 10 mg
of micronized progesterone acetate was started. When endometri -
al thickness failed to reach over 7mm, patients were consulted to
make decision tocancel the cycle, proceed to a new FET cycle or
undergo embryo transfer regardless of thin endometrium. The de -
cision to receive ABCD-Endosera treatment or not was based on the
patients’ preferences.
Embryo Transfer and Outcome Measures
In this study Single Embryo Transfer (SET) was employed as
the chosen method for transferring embryos in all patients. The
transferred embryos were blastocysts that had undergone the pro-
cess of freezing and thawing. These blastocysts were of high quali -
ty, specifically graded as 4 AA/AB based on the guidelines outlined
in the Istanbul Consensus workshop [18]. This approach not only
minimizes the risks associated with multiple pregnancies but also
ensures the transfer of the most viable embryos. SET allows for
a precise evaluation of the individual embryos’ potential for suc -
cessful implantation, thereby optimizing the chances of achieving
favorable pregnancy outcomes. Post-embryo transplantation, the
luteal phase was supported through a combination of daily intra -
muscular injection of 50mg progesterone and nightly administra -
tion of 200mg vaginal progesterone soft capsules. Serum Human
Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) levels were measured 14 days after
embryo transfer. Vaginal ultrasonography was conducted 35 days
after transfer in cases of biochemical pregnancy, while the presence
of an intrauterine fetal heartbeat was used to define a clinical preg-
nancy. The primary outcome and endpoint of the study focused on
endometrial thickness. The secondary endpoints included the clini-
cal pregnancy rate, defined as the presence of a gestational sac and
fetal heartbeat on transvaginal ultrasound five weeks after embryo
transfer. Additional secondary outcome measures encompassed
the miscarriage rate and ongoing pregnancy rate.
Intervention
ABCD-Endosera was prepared from autologous blood, as pre -
viously reported. [16,17] After obtaining informed consent, AB -
CD-Endosera was prepared from concentrated platelets, prepared
from fresh peripheral blood collected from the peripheral vein
which was then subjected to proprietary centrifugation-based se -
lective enrichment protocol. As presented in Figure 1, three doses
of ABCD- Endosera (0.8 mL per dose) were prepared from 30mL
of peripheral blood. For patients receiving ABCD-Endosera treat -
ment, the infusion protocol involved administering the first dose of
0.8 ml of ABCD-Endosera intrauterine infusion between days 5-7 of
the menstrual cycle. The second dose was administered five days
after the first dose, and the third dose was given 48 hours before
embryo transfer. The ABCD Endosera infusion into the uterine cav-
ity was performed using a Tomcat catheter for each administration
[16,17]. Endometrial and sub endometrial blood flow, crucial for
successful implantation, was monitored using color Doppler in 2D
mode on a transvaginal scan. Prior to ABCD- Endosera instillation,
these patients had no visible endometrial/sub endometrial blood
flow, whereas a noticeable improvement in blood flow was evident
post-treatment as per the different zones of vascularity with refer-
ence to the Applebaum criteria. [19] Biochemical pregnancy was
confirmed by positive serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin
(β-hCG) two weeks post-embryo transfer, and Transvaginal ultra -
sound (TVS) was performed after another two weeks to confirm
clinical pregnancy.
Outcome Measures
The primary outcome of this study was to evaluate the effect
of intrauterine infusions of ABCD-Endosera on EMT in patients
presenting with refractory thin endometrium. The secondary out -
comes encompassed assessing implantation rates, clinical preg -
nancy rates, live birth rates, and the reporting of adverse effects.

Statistical Analysis
Data were collected using MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS
statistical software (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) version 28.0. Categor -
ical variables were expressed as numbers and percentages, while
continuous variables were expressed as mean [standard deviation
(SD)].
Results
The study included 50 patients with a history of refractory thin
endometrium (Table-1). The average age of the patients was 33.38
years (±3.3), and they had an average weight of 69.3 kg (±6.4). They
had an average infertility duration of 5 years (±2.1), with a men -
strual cycle duration averaging 30.3 days (±3.3). The patients had
undergone an average of 3 intrauterine insemination (IUI) proce -
dures (±1.2) and 3 previous IVF attempts (±1.2). The average num-
ber of oocytes retrieved was 8.8 (±4.1), and the number of Meta -
phase II was 6.0 (±3.4). The fertilization rate was 67% (±21%). The
endometrial thickness before the treatment was 6.6 mm (±1.1).
This value significantly increased to 7.09 mm (±0.54) after dose 1,
7.9 mm (±0.88) after dose 2, and 8.2 mm (±0.9) on the day of em -
bryo transfer, showing a significant difference (p < 0.0001) with a
mean increase of 1.6 mm. Secondary outcomes indicated that em -
bryo transfer was carried out in 94% (47/50) of the patients, with

4% (2/50) experiencing cycle cancellation, and 2% (1/50) lost to
follow-up. The clinical pregnancy rate stood at 50% (25/50), while
44% (22/50) did not result in pregnancy. One patient (2%, 1/50)
had a biochemical pregnancy, and three patients (6%, 3/50) experi-
enced a miscarriage. The live birth rate was 42% (21/50) (Table-2).
The procedure was well tolerated without severe adverse events.

Discussion
and Conclusion
In this self-controlled retrospective study, ABCD-Endosera de-
rived from platelets was found to significantly improve endometri-
al thickness and live birth rate in patients with thin endometrium.
These findings support previous research indicating the therapeu -
tic potential of platelet-derived growth factors in the management
of thin endometrium [6,7,9,10,16,17]. This approach directly har -
nesses the growth factors that are responsible for the efficacy of
PRP , such as VEGF, PDGF, and TGF-β, which play critical roles in
endometrial regeneration and tissue repair. The use of growth fac-
tors in other specialties, such as orthopedics and wound healing,
has also demonstrated the potential of growth factors to promote
tissue regeneration and repair [16-22]. Cryopreservation of plate -
let concentrates has been shown to retain the biological activity of
growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and
transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), enabling their use in var-
ious clinical applications [23-28]. Several studies have demonstrat-
ed that the extraction and storage of growth factors from platelets
are feasible and effective [29-37]. With concentrated growth fac -
tors preparation, the targeted growth factors can be more effective-
ly delivered to the endometrial tissue, ensuring that the necessary
factors are present in optimal levels to promote tissue regeneration
and repair. In comparison to the results observed in conventional
PRP based treatment, our study has shown better improvements in
endometrial thickness and live birth rate among patients with thin
endometrium [38].
Strengths
ABCD-Endosera is a more targeted and efficient alternative to
PRP for treating thin endometrium. Unlike PRP , ABCD-Endosera
does not contain pro-inflammatory sources, which may lead to
more consistent results across patients. This can result in a more
standardized, cost-effective and time-efficient treatment option for
patients, without compromising efficacy. This approach appears to
offer several advantages over PRP , including the direct delivery of
essential growth factors, reduced variability between patients, and
potential improvements in clinical practice efficiency by preparing
multiple doses from a single blood aspiration. This feature reduces
the number of patient visits to the hospital, thereby decreasing the
overall burden on both the patient and healthcare system. Further-
more, by cryo-storing ABCD-Endosera for extended periods, the
waiting time for patients can be significantly reduced, as doses can
be prepared in advance and administered when needed.
Limitations
Despite promising results, our pilot study was limited by its
small size and retrospective design. Future large-scale randomized
controlled trials comparing ABCD-Endosera to other treatments
are needed to optimize its protocols and investigate its synergistic
effects with other therapies. These trials should also evaluate its
long-term safety and efficacy, as well as the mechanisms by which
growth factors promote endometrial regeneration and the optimal
concentration for each growth factor.
Summary
In summary, this self-controlled retrospective study has shown
promising results in the use of growth factor concentrate derived
from platelets to improve endometrial thickness and live birth rate
in patients with thin endometrium. The advantages of ABCD-Endo-
sera over PRP , such as the direct delivery of essential growth fac -
tors, reduced variability between patients, and potential improve -
ments in clinical practice efficiency, warrant further investigation in
larger, well-designed trials.
