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.
NCT03137095
Study is enrolling newly diagnosed breast cancer patients about to start chemotherapy and age-matched control participants. The investigator is trying to better understand the prevalence of cognitive difficulties in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy compared to the general population as well as what biological mechanisms may play a role in the development of these difficulties. Patients will be asked to complete six assessments over the course of approximately 5 months. Assessments 1,3, 4.5 and 5 include computerized and paper and pencil cognitive testing as well as blood draws. Assessments 2 and 4 only involve the collection of a blood sample. An optional sub study is offered after Assessment 1. It involves a research brain MRI at Assessment 4.5 and cognitive testing and another research brain MRI at Assessment 6.
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.
NCT07547423
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if auricular laser acupuncture can improve sleep quality and alleviate related symptoms in female breast cancer patients aged 18 to 75 with insomnia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does active auricular laser acupuncture improve sleep quality and reduce the severity of insomnia? 2. Does it help lower levels of cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and depression? Researchers will compare an active auricular laser acupuncture group to a sham control group (receiving no therapeutic laser energy) to see if active laser acupuncture is effective for symptom relief. Participants will: 1. Receive 10 sessions of laser treatment (active or sham) twice a week for 5 weeks, while wearing protective goggles to ensure blinding. 2. Wear an actigraphy wristband and keep a sleep diary to monitor sleep patterns, and undergo heart rate variability (HRV) measurements at baseline and Week 5 (post-treatment). 3. Complete questionnaires assessing sleep, fatigue, mood, and quality of life at baseline, Week 5 (post-treatment), and Week 10 (follow-up).

Healthy volunteers aged 18 to 85 will undergo ¹⁹F (perfluoropropane) MRI to support the development of imaging sequences, reconstruction algorithms, and hardware necessary for acquiring high-spatial resolution lung images. The study will also evaluate signal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio, spatial resolution, scan duration, and pulmonary gas exchange measurements derived from ¹⁹F (perfluoropropane) MRI.
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.
NCT07541742
This study aims to examine how societal and climate changes influence the nutritional status and fish consumption of young women over a 10 year period in southern Bangladesh, and how these factors affect their children's health. A cohort of 240 adolescents first studied in 2017 will be followed to assess changes in their dietary patterns, nutritional status, climate perceptions and mitigation practices, as well as the nutritional status of their children aged 6 months to 5 years. The study in 2017 sampled 60 adolescent girls in each of four rural communities, plus a semi-rural community around a fish processing plant, representing in total 5 communities. Of these 60 X 5 = 300 girls, the current study follows up the individuals in the rural communities representing a cohort of 240. Bangladesh faces high rates of adolescent malnutrition, with many girls married before 18 and suffering from chronic nutrient deficiencies. These issues have long-term impacts on health, productivity, and intergenerational well-being. By linking the fisheries and aquaculture sector, a key to Bangladesh's economy with public health and nutrition, this research aims to guide targeted policies for vulnerable coastal communities.
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.
NCT03162627
This study has 2 phases: Phase 1 (dose escalation) and Phase 2 (dose expansion). The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose combination of selumetinib and olaparib that can be given to patients who have solid tumors that are advanced or recurrent (has returned after treatment). The goal of Phase 2 is to learn if the highest tolerable dose combination found in Phase 1 can help to control advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied in both parts. This is an investigational study. Selumetinib is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Olaparib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of ovarian cancer that has a certain type of genetic mutation (change). It is considered investigational to use selumetinib in combination with olaparib to treat advanced or recurrent cancer. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 90 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
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.
NCT07215624
This study evaluates the use of extended venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (ePPx) following abdominopelvic cancer surgery within the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) network, targeting surgeons and surgical advanced practice providers (APPs).

NCT07491289
GS1-144 in Participants with Hepatic Impairment and Healthy Female
NCT07378319
The goal of this clinical trial (prospective case series) is to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and preliminary clinical outcomes of ultrasound-guided dextrose prolotherapy in female breast cancer survivors with persistent ipsilateral chest wall and axillary pain and tightness who have plateaued with standard physical therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does ultrasound-guided dextrose prolotherapy significantly improve upper extremity functional limitation (measured by the QuickDASH questionnaire)? What are the effects of this intervention on pain intensity (NRS), active shoulder range of motion (AROM), and anterior chest wall soft-tissue tightness (pectoralis minor muscle length)? Participants will: Undergo a comprehensive baseline physical examination and ultrasound assessment of the symptomatic chest wall and axilla. Receive three sessions of ultrasound-guided 5% dextrose injections into targeted soft-tissue planes at 4-week intervals. Continue their designated standard rehabilitation program, including range-of-motion and stretching exercises. Attend follow-up assessments at 4-week intervals during the treatment phase, with long-term follow-up at 3 and 6 months after the final injection to evaluate the durability of the response.
NCT03420963
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (donor natural killer \[NK\] cells) and how well they work when given together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in treating children and young adults with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). NK cells, white blood cells important to the immune system, are donated/collected from cord blood collected at birth from healthy babies and grown in the lab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NK cells together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide may work better in treating children and young adults with solid tumors.
NCT06126276
This phase II ComboMATCH treatment trial compares the effect of neratinib to the combination of neratinib and palbociclib in treating patients with HER2 positive solid tumors. Neratinib and palbociclib are in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. They work by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This helps slow or stop the spread of tumor cells. Giving neratinib and palbociclib in combination may shrink or stabilize cancers that over-express a specific biomarker called HER2.
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.
