Store ovarian tissue for future fertility in children
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before certain cancer treatments or surgeries that may affect fertility. It may help preserve the ability to have children later, especially when future fertility is at risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child who has not reached puberty yet
- You are about to have surgery or cancer treatment that could harm fertility or hormone production
- Your planned treatment includes certain types of radiation or chemotherapy that can damage the ovaries
- You have two ovaries that may be affected (not just one ovary)
- Your doctors do not think you are at high risk for complications around surgery or freezing

This trial studies freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue before treatment that may permanently affect fertility and hormone production. You might consider it if you are planning surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation soon and want to preserve future options.
This study collects small pieces of ovarian tissue during certain surgeries in girls and teens (before or after puberty). The goal is to bank the tissue for possible future fertility or medical research.
This study helps people who are about to start cancer treatment (or have certain health conditions) preserve their ability to have children later. It removes and freezes a small piece of ovarian tissue before treatments that could damage the ovaries.
This study tests a way to protect future fertility in young people who need cancer treatment. It freezes ovarian tissue before treatment and, if appropriate, later returns it to the body to help restore hormone production and possible future pregnancy.
This trial looks at freezing ovarian tissue to help protect future fertility for people who may lose ovarian function from medical treatments or ovarian surgery. It may help you preserve the chance to have children later when egg or embryo freezing alone isn’t an option.
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue in people who are at risk of early menopause because of cancer treatment or surgery. It may help preserve natural hormone function and possible future fertility for those who cannot or do not want to freeze eggs or embryos.
