About this study

Official title: Ovarian Tissue Cryopreservation As A Means Of Preserving Ovarian Function in Females Undergoing Therapeutic Procedures That Will Potentially Lead To The Irreversible Loss of Ovarian Function

The purpose of this study is to retrieve and cryopreserve ovarian tissue from females undergoing a treatment that may lead to irreversible loss of ovarian function.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this preliminary study is to retrieve and properly cryopreserve ovarian tissue for autotransplantation in any premenopausal female whose ovarian function is threatened in a physiological, pathological or iatrogenic manner in an effort to observe the return of ovarian endocrine function and development of egg(s) appropriate for use in in vitro fertilization.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Retrieval and CryopreservationProcedure or surgery

    Females undergoing therapeutic procedures that will potentially lead to the irreversible loss of ovarian function will have their ovarian tissue retrieved and cryopreserved. Ideally, after treatment, the cryopreserved ovarian tissue can be thawed and auto-transplanted and ovarian function resumed.

Receives: Procedure: Retrieval and Cryopreservation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Return of hormones produced by the ovarian tissue

    Measured: 3 months after re-implantation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Development of egg(s) appropriate for use in in vitro fertilization

    Measured: Participants will be followed through their reproductive years (until the patient reaches 45 years of age)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Retrieval and Cryopreservation in people with Cancer and Effects of Chemotherapy, run by Medical College of Wisconsin at 2 sites 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 14 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

Return of hormones produced by the ovarian tissue (time frame: 3 months after re-implantation). 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 14 Aug 2019.
