Sperm aspiration test for men with no sperm in semen
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at a procedure that removes sperm directly from the testicles to help with IVF when a man has no sperm in his ejaculate. It may help couples try for pregnancy when standard semen samples don’t contain sperm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a man with azoospermia, meaning no sperm found in your semen sample
- Your type of azoospermia should be either obstructive or non-obstructive
- You are planning IVF and your fertility team decided you may need sperm cell aspiration
- A doctor must determine you are suitable to have the TEFNA procedure
- You must be willing to sign the study’s informed consent form

This study uses a special ultrasound to look at the testicles of men who have no sperm in their semen. It helps doctors understand how well this ultrasound can find sperm, which may help men with fertility problems.
This trial studies whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can improve fertility in men with a specific cause of infertility called NOA who have not had success with prior procedures. It may help improve the chance of getting usable sperm for conception.
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool that helps doctors find very rare sperm in tissue removed during sperm retrieval surgery. If you have non-obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in your semen) and are having micro-TESE surgery, the AI might help find sperm that standard methods miss.
This trial tests whether injecting your own stem cells into your testicles can help your body start producing sperm. It is for men whose infertility is caused by a sperm-making problem rather than a blockage.
This study looks at whether sperm is more likely to be found on one side of the testicles when doctors try to extract sperm directly from the tissue. It may help men with non-obstructive azoospermia understand their chances of finding sperm for IVF.
This study tests a new medication called leflutrozole for men with a condition where no sperm is produced (azoospermia). The drug may help increase hormone levels that support sperm production, potentially improving fertility.
