Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparing the expression levels of BMP15, GDF9, FLT1 and HIF1 genes in granulosa cells of women with poor ovarian response under GCSF treatment with women with poor ovarian response receiving normal saline: a clinical trial
Design
A clinical trial with a control group,with parallel groups,Not blinded,Randomized,Phase 1,2 on 60 patients,The method of random allocation in this study will be the 4-way random permutation block method.
Settings and conduct
Women with poor ovarian response, Hazrat Zainab Shiraz Hospital, Patients in two treatment groups received GCSF and the control group received normal saline after stimulating the ovaries, follicular fluid is collected and the target genes are examined.

Randomization description
The random allocation method in this study will be the 4-way random permutation block method in such a way that A represents the person who intervenes and B represents the person who controls.This method considers quadruple blocks so that the total number of possible quadruple permutations is equal to 6,including:, ABAB، BABA، AABB، BBAA، ABBA، BAAB. Then, by using the table of random numbers and assigning a code from 0 to 9 to each of the permutations, the desired random list of 60 items, which includes 15 blocks of 4(4 x 15 = 60 total number of samples)produced and the order of assigning each of the methods to each of the samples participating in the study is determined. For example: (ABAB code 0, BABA code 1, AABB code 2, BBAA code 3, BAAB code 4 and ABBA code 5 to 9). Then, using the table of random numbers, a starting point is randomly selected and 15 numbers are randomly selected (row or column) and the permutation assigned to each number is noted.(The order of placement of permutations next to each other will be from left to right) and how to allocate the total 60 people to two groups A and B will be determined.
