Saving eggs by freezing ovarian tissue during cancer or surgery care
Part of Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and under 40 years old.
- You cannot use egg-only freezing or embryo freezing by itself (for example, timing, cancer situation, or medical reasons).
- You are planning treatment or surgery that could permanently stop your ovaries from working, such as surgery/chemo/medicine/radiation.
- Or you need surgery that removes part or all of one or both ovaries.
- If you are removing one ovary just to protect fertility, you must have two ovaries at the start.
- You must be able to give fully informed consent (you are not blocked by a psychological/mental health condition).

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.
This study helps women with cancer keep their ability to have children after treatment. It offers egg or embryo freezing and checks on pregnancy and baby health later on.
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 compares two methods of preserving a woman's fertility before cancer treatment: freezing eggs alone versus freezing both eggs and ovarian tissue. The goal is to help women who may lose fertility due to chemotherapy or radiation keep their options open for having biological children in the future.
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 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.
