  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Any consenting female who wishes to freeze unfertilized oocytes and are:
  • at risk for ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (enlarged ovaries with abdominal fluid accumulation) and postponement of pregnancy has been recommended.
  • a cancer patient anticipating treatment and have been cleared by the oncologists for ovarian stimulation.
  • a female who seeks to preserve her future fertility and does not wish to use donor or partner sperm to fertilize her eggs.
  • a donor egg recipient who elects to have some of the eggs obtained fertilized with husband/partner sperm and the rest cryopreserved for future use.
  • a patient for whom the partner's sperm retrieval or production has failed and donor sperm is not an option.
Show all 18Show fewer
  • a patient who, for religious or ethical reasons, wants to limit the number of fresh oocytes exposed to sperm (fertilization) and do not want to either discard or donate the excess oocytes.
  • AND
  • has been clinically and psychologically approved for ovarian stimulation
  • age between 12 and 42 years, inclusive, at time of informed consent.
  • willing and able to comply with the protocol.
  • willing to provide follow-up information from her OB/GYN of any CVS/amniocentesis results, as well as information on obstetrical outcome.
  • agree to undergo intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) when oocytes are thawed.
  • For cancer patients:
  • No significant ovarian pathology as judged by physical exam and radiological studies;
  • Patient's general condition and prognosis deemed favorable for surgery and chemo/radio therapy;
  • No other major medical illness,
  • Oncologist approval for the ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Oocyte cryopreservation in people with Fertility Preservation, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival rate of cryopreserved oocytes with each cryopreservation method (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Sep 2018.
