NCT07216742
The goal of this multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial is toto evaluate the efficacy and safety of a human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) in the development of multiple follicles, pregnancy, and cumulative live birth as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) cycle in in women with a diagnosis of infertility.
NCT06503471
To explore the therapeutic effect and safety of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells on thin endometrial infertility and to explore whether human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells using collagen as the carrier can promote endometrial growth, reduce the recurrence rate of intrauterine adhesion, increase the clinical pregnancy rate, improve the pregnancy outcome, and study its safety.
NCT07515118
To evaluate, in a randomized controlled trial, whether AI-guided monitoring and ovulation triggering leads to clinical outcomes comparable to those achieved through physician-led decision-making in patients undergoing ovarian stimulation for IVF.
NCT07542626
This is a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of autologous transplantation of immature testicular tissue cryopreserved during childhood as a method of fertility preservation for prepubertal boys in case of gonadotoxic therapies. Freezing of immature testicular tissue is performed since the early 2000s and a number of our patients have now reached reproductive age. In case of childwish and azoospermia in adulthood, surgical sperm retrieval is planned and if unsucessful transplantation of the patient's own cryopreserved tissue will be performed during the same surgical intervention as a fertility restoration method.
NCT04983173
The management of suboptimal ovarian responders remains a challenging task in IVF. These patients are frequently managed with an intense stimulation protocol of ovarian stimulation in order obtain the maximum number of embryos and, therefore, maximize the cumulative live birth rate. However, the concept of "the more the better" has been recently defied by the one of "mild stimulation". Defenders of this protocol state that with mild stimulation only the best quality oocytes are allowed to grow and, therefore, higher quality embryos will be obtained. However, the impact of the intensity of ovarian stimulation on embryo quality is far from consensual. Moreover, its effect on early embryo development has never been evaluated. Therefore, the investigators set out to perform this randomized controlled trial comparing the number of GQB and the morphokinetic parameters of early embryo development in infertile patients undergoing two different intensities of ovarian stimulation, a milder approach (CC plus 150 IU daily dose of rFSH) and a more intense approach (300 IU daily dose of rFSH).
NCT05488236
This study aims to validate the embryo culture medium analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, as a faster and less-costly alternative to preimplantation genetic test for aneuploidy which could significantly enhance embryo selection and the success rate of assisted reproductive technologies.
NCT07499804
investigate the effect of different vasodilators as Tadalafil in women with unexplained infertility using IVF
NCT05179993
Plastic products have been used ubiquitously in the modern world for many decades - for example as packaging materials, textile fibers or molded parts. The general use and especially the improper disposal lead to enormous environmental pollution almost everywhere on earth. Microplastics mainly originate from fragmentation of larger plastic objects or can be produced directly for the use in e.g. cosmetics or industrial dyes. Microplastics have already been detected in fresh- and seawater, soil, food, but also in human blood and urine. The accumulation of microplastics in ovarian and testicular tissue in humans has not yet been investigated.
NCT06826365
Specialized immunological studies in the diagnostics of idiopathic infertility and recurrent miscarriages have limited applicability, as the role of the immune system in these conditions is not thoroughly understood. In ovulatory cycles, changes occur in the populations of uterine lymphocytes, which may influence the receptivity of the endometrium and the implantation of the embryo. Particularly notable are the changes in natural killer (NK) cells, which reach their peak during the luteal phase and regulate the invasion of the trophoblast. The dominant NK cells exhibit a CD56bright phenotype and differ in cytokine profiles from peripheral blood cells. Cyclical changes also affect macrophages and T lymphocytes; however, it is unclear whether their proportions differ in women with reduced fertility. There is a need to investigate how the composition of lymphocytes in blood influences the populations in the endometrium. The aim of this study is to analyze the correlation between peripheral and endometrial lymphocytes in women with idiopathic infertility and recurrent miscarriages, compared to fertile women.
NCT07340827
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of follitropin alfa/lutropin alfa in Japanese participants with Luteinizing hormone (LH) and Follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) deficiency undergoing Assisted reproductive technology (ART). The study duration is approximately 5.5 months for nonpregnant participants and 13 months for participants with confirmed pregnancy in Part A.
NCT07471373
This project PestiEndoMicro aims to provide an innovative approach, studying endometriosis under the genital and gut microbiota scope. To realize this project, the investigators are planning to dose cfDNA to assess the oxidative stress caused by endometriosis and study its epigenetics. At the same time, the investigators will take a pragmatic approach by assessing pesticide exposure in these patients and estimate the correlation between gut or genital dysbiosis and chemical agent exposure. Also, the investigators will take the initiative to use classic culture, qPCR techniques, and NGS to establish signatures in vaginal, endometrial and gut microbiota in patients with endometriosis. With these approaches, the goal is to gain more knowledge about endometriosis and optimize early diagnosis by establishing a signature in the genital and gut microbiota, but also by dosing the cfDNA. By doing so the investigators could open new opportunities to develop new therapeutic strategies for endometriosis.
NCT01511588
Background: \- The body produces gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) about every 2 hours. GnRH travels through the bloodstream to the pituitary gland, where it stimulates the gland to produce hormones called gonadotropins. These hormones stimulate the testicles or ovaries. The testicles produce testosterone and develop sperm. The ovaries produce estrogen and prepare for ovulation. Normal estrogen and testosterone levels are required for puberty. Some people, however, have either low levels or total lack of GnRH. This can cause problems with puberty and fertility. Researchers want to study people with low or no GnRH to better understand how it affects puberty and fertility. Objectives: \- To study disorders of GnRH production. Eligibility: * Adult men and women at least 18 years of age with low or no gonadotropin levels. * Adolescents between 14 and 18 years of age with low or no gonadotropin levels. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. * Participants will have tests to look at their hormone levels. Blood samples may be collected after taking different drugs, including insulin and cortisone. A 24-hour urine sample will be collected. * Participants will have imaging studies to look at bone and brain development. They will also have ultrasounds of the kidneys, abdomen, and reproductive organs. * Tests of smell and hearing will be used to look for abnormalities in these senses.
NCT07153367
The aim of this study is to evaluate the use of a fixed dose of 3.66 mcg of follitropin delta (Rekovelle) on ovarian response during ovarian stimulation for intrauterine insemination (IUI). The assumption is that this fixed dose will be effective while minimizing the risk of multiple pregnancies. A recent study demonstrated the efficacy of follitropin delta for ovarian stimulation in IUI, and it has been approved in France for controlled ovarian stimulation in assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and IVF with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). With an adapted dose of Rekovelle for patients with regular menstrual cycles, ovarian stimulation is optimized from the first attempt, promoting the development of two follicles to improve pregnancy chances while reducing the risk of multiple pregnancies. This approach aims to achieve pregnancy faster and provide a more comfortable treatment experience.
NCT07449260
TSH has been suggested to be involved in reproductive challenges such as ovulatory issues, infertility, miscarriage, and maternal complications for many years. Multiple studies have associated thyroid function with ovarian function and reproductive physiology. The thyroid hormone can impact follicle development, as well as the metabolism of estrogen and androgen, the menstrual cycle, and the receptivity of the endometrium
NCT07462065
Women who meet the study requirements will be enrolled and randomly assigned by a computer system to receive either pioglitazone 30 mg daily or a placebo starting from the second day of their menstrual period for the same duration. All participants will also take clomiphene citrate 150 mg daily from day 3 to day 7 of the menstrual cycle. A transvaginal ultrasound will be performed on day 10 of the menstrual cycle to assess the growth of ovarian follicles, and the number of mature follicles (16-24 mm) will be recorded. If at least one mature follicle measuring 16-24 mm is present and the endometrial thickness is at least 7 mm, an injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) will be given to trigger ovulation, followed by an intrauterine insemination (IUI) procedure. Participants will be followed until the end of the menstrual cycle, and if the menstrual period is delayed by 5 days, a blood test for β-hCG will be performed to confirm pregnancy. Any side effects during the treatment period, such as swelling, fluid retention, blurred vision, or weight gain, will be recorded.
NCT04872660
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether oral Gushen Antai pills supplementation for luteal phase support will improve ongoing pregnancy rate in women with normal ovarian reserve in fresh embryo transfer cycles.
NCT04610710
The EFFORT study compares the impact on fertility of operation or fertility treatment (IVF, in vitro fertilization) in a multicenter randomized controlled trial. The study population consists of women with colorectal deep infiltrating endometriosis and a pregnancy intention. These women will be randomized to either of the two treatment groups: Group A = Operation or Group B = fertility treatment (IVF). Group A will be further divided postoperatively into spontaneous conception or IVF depending on the Endometriosis Fertility Index score.
NCT07461077
Background: Morphology-based embryo selection cannot detect aneuploidy, which is common in advanced maternal age and recurrent pregnancy loss. NICS-AI combines non-invasive chromosome screening (NICS) of cell-free DNA from spent blastocyst culture medium with AI integration of developmental day and morphology to improve embryo ranking. Methods: This multicenter, single-blind, parallel randomized controlled trial will include 520 participants. Participants undergoing conventional IVF will be eligible if they meet either (i) female age 35-43 years or (ii) recurrent miscarriage (≥2 losses \<28 gestational weeks, including biochemical pregnancy with serum hCG \>25 IU/L). They must consent to blastocyst culture/vitrification and frozen-thawed single blastocyst transfer (SBT), and have ≥2 Day-5/Day-6, 2PN-derived blastocysts with morphology grade ≥4BC/4CB at randomization. Key exclusions include any ICSI-based fertilization or PGT-related procedures, known genetic disease meeting PGT indications, donor oocytes, untreated uterine anomalies/hydrosalpinx, or contraindications to pregnancy/ART. Randomization/interventions: Participants will be randomized 1:1 to NICS-AI-guided selection or morphology-based selection. In the NICS-AI arm, culture-medium DNA is tested and an AI-derived composite implantation score ranks embryos; controls use morphology alone (tie-break by cryopreservation order). Outcomes/analysis: The primary endpoint is live birth after the first SBT (delivery with ≥1 live-born infant per transfer cycle, per randomized participant). Secondary endpoints include first clinical pregnancy, early miscarriage (\<12 weeks, excluding biochemical pregnancy), ongoing pregnancy to 12 weeks, and cumulative pregnancy/live birth outcomes within 1 year (≤3 SBTs from one retrieval). Safety includes fetal malformations and neonatal outcomes through 1 year postpartum.
NCT07449494
This retrospective single-center observational cohort study evaluates live birth rates after the first embryo transfer following immune assessment in infertile women with documented uterine immune overactivation. In routine clinical practice, glucocorticoids represent first-line therapy for immune overactivation. Some patients underwent glucocorticoid sensitivity testing prior to embryo transfer based solely on standard clinical practice and patient preference. In cases of demonstrated glucocorticoid resistance, alternative therapeutic strategies were implemented according to usual care. The study analyzes clinical data collected between September 2020 and November 2025 to assess the association between prior glucocorticoid sensitivity testing and live birth rate after the first fresh or frozen blastocyst transfer performed following immune evaluation. No treatment allocation was determined by a study protocol.
NCT05903859
This is a study of infertility which often occurs in men with spinal cord injury. Most men with spinal cord injury have a normal sperm count but abnormally low sperm motility - which means that the sperm does not swim well. This study will determine if a medicine given by mouth will improve sperm motility in men with spinal cord injuries. The medicine is called probenecid.
