In Vitro Maturation (IVM) of Human Oocytes

Natural IVF/IVM may be an attractive treatment alternative to conventional controlled
ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)/IVF treatment for infertile women in particular for a select
group.

Natural IVF/IVM offers several advantages over conventional COH protocols for IVF including:

1. Elimination of the need for gonadotropin ovarian stimulation

2. Elimination of risk of developing OHSS

3. Simplification of treatment, eliminating the need for frequent blood tests and
ultrasound monitoring

4. Reduced cost of treatment

5. Avoiding potential side effects of gonadotropins, including weight gain, bloating,
breast tenderness, nausea, mood swings

6. Eliminates concerns about the potential risk of malignancy that may be associated with
multiple cycles of ovarian stimulation in a predisposed population.

This pilot study will be conducted to assess the clinical efficacy of natural IVF/IVM

corresponding to Papanicolaou [PAP] I or II) obtained within 12 months prior to
signing informed consent must be available.

1. Subject with premature ovarian failure.

2. Subject with endocrine abnormalities such as hyperprolactinaemia or thyroid
dysfunction.

3. Subject with malformation or absence of uterus.

4. Subject tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Hepatitis B (by
