Pathogenic role of cellular microparticles and anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor antibodies in recurrent implantation failures related to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).

The prevalence of failed IVF is high or very high. Besides problems intrinsic to the technique, we know almost nothing about the possible underlying causes. Anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor (aPL/aCF) antibodies have been associated to several obstetric complications. Nevertheless, the role that these aPL/aCF antibodies may have in failed IVF is not well defined. With this randomized study we want to understand better the use that these antibodies may have on a clinical daily basis. Along with the microparticles analysis, we could end up by finding several elements that might act as risk markers; in turn, it might even help us to fine-tune the currently used therapeutic approaches.

Development of the European Registry on Obstetric Antiphospholipid Syndrome (EUROAPS/EUROMAP).

The so-called obstetric antiphospholipid syndrome seems to have pathogenic, biologic, therapeutic, and evolution features somehow different from the ones observed in those patients who suffer from "classic" antiphospholipid syndrome. Although experience and scientific evidence seem to support this idea, there is a lack of information that allows us to suggest changes in the classification and/or therapeutic criteria. The European Forum on Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome has decided to carry on this project and it has chosen the Vall d'Hebron Hospital as the European Coordinating Centre. Many important Spanish and European hospitals will participate in this multicentric study.
