Learning from discarded IVF materials about treatment success
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at biomaterials that are normally thrown away during IVF treatment to see what they can teach us about the success of the treatment cycle. If you are getting IVF at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, you may be able to help by letting researchers study these discarded materials.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are receiving fertility treatment (ART) at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's ART Unit.
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form agreeing to take part.
- You are not using donor eggs, sperm, or embryos in your IVF treatment.
- You are willing to let researchers analyze materials that are normally discarded during your treatment.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks at discarded leftover medical materials. There are no listed eligibility limits, so it may be open to many people depending on what materials and consent are needed.
This study creates new lab cell lines from donated human embryos to support future clinical research. It may help researchers develop better treatments by starting from donated embryos that are carefully screened and consented.
This study follows people trying to have babies through fertility treatment to understand how environmental factors and lifestyle habits affect treatment success. By sharing your background and habits, you help researchers learn what may improve fertility outcomes.
This study looks at “biomarkers” (test signals in your blood or cycle data) to better judge how ready the womb lining is during IVF. It compares two types of IVF hormone setups to see which approach best matches endometrial receptivity and supports successful embryo transfer.
This study looks at what happens when embryos develop from eggs that did not fertilize normally during IVF. It aims to help people understand the chances of a successful pregnancy with such embryos.
This study looks at how bacteria in the vagina and lining of the uterus change during the “luteal phase” (the time after ovulation and before a pregnancy test) in people using frozen embryo transfers. It may help researchers understand what conditions support embryo implantation and pregnancy in assisted reproduction.
