Freezing gonadal tissue to preserve fertility
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at the best way to preserve your fertility by freezing gonadal tissue (ovarian or testicular tissue) before it is removed. It may help if you have a disorder of sex development and are at risk of losing your ability to have children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 30 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with a disorder of sex development (a condition that affects your reproductive organs or chromosomes).
- You are scheduled to have your gonads (ovaries or testicles) removed because of a risk of cancer or another medical reason.
- Or, you have a genetic condition that puts you at risk for early loss of ovarian function (early menopause).
- You are not pregnant.
- You are able to understand the study and give your agreement (assent or consent) to participate.

This trial stores testicular tissue before certain medical treatments that could cause permanent infertility. It may help preserve your chance of having biological children in the future.
This study looks at storing ovarian (ovary) tissue by freezing it for people at higher risk of losing fertility. It may help preserve options for having biological children later, especially for certain genetic conditions, cancer-related risks, or planned gonad removal.
This study tests a procedure that freezes and stores gonadal tissue (tissue that makes eggs or sperm) to help preserve the chance of having biological children in the future. It is for children and young adults under 30 who have a disorder of sex development and either have a risk of cancer in that tissue or will have it removed for another medical reason.
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 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.
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.
