Frozen testicle tissue transplant to restore fertility
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests using previously frozen (cryopreserved) testicle cells or tissue to regrow testicular tissue. If you’ve had cancer treatment that can harm fertility, this may help restore natural fertility potential using your own tissue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are male and at least in Tanner stage 3 (puberty has started)
- You have frozen testicle tissue or cells stored for your own future use
- You can safely have anesthesia (based on a health check)
- Your cancer doctor/hematologist says your treatment is finished and you’re cleared for this procedure
- You are not at high risk for surgical complications

This study helps collect and freeze testicle tissue for people who must have surgery, chemotherapy, medicines, or radiation that could permanently harm fertility. You may join if you’re newly diagnosed or need planned treatment that threatens testicular function, and you agree to long-term follow-up.
This trial studies transplanting frozen testicular tissue back into the body to help restore fertility later. It is meant for people who preserved testicular tissue as children before cancer or a blood disorder treatment.
This trial studies how doctors collect and freeze a small piece of testicle tissue from boys to protect future fertility before treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. It may help families preserve options for having children later if testicular function is permanently affected.
This trial uses tiny lab-grown testicles to study sperm production. It may help men with infertility learn more about why they can't make sperm.
This study looks at transplanting ovarian tissue that was saved (frozen) before, to help some people who have low ovarian function try for pregnancy. It’s only for certain participants who are otherwise healthy and cleared by their cancer/gynecology team.
This trial tests whether transplanting frozen testicular tissue that was saved before cancer treatment can help men who cannot produce sperm have biological children. The tissue is thawed and put back into the testicles to restore natural sperm production.
