Comparing two IVF methods for severe sperm shape issues
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two lab techniques (ICSI alone vs. ICSI with AOA) to see which leads to more live births for couples where the male partner has very abnormal sperm shape (99-100% abnormal). The study focuses on women aged 20-37 who are undergoing fertility treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Woman must be between 20 and 37 years old when starting IVF
- Woman must have at least three mature eggs retrieved for the procedure
- Male partner must have severe sperm shape issues (99-100% abnormal forms, including round-head or tapered-head sperm)
- Couple must not have untreated blocked fallopian tubes (hydrosalpinx)
- Couple must not have a history of two or more miscarriages
- Couple must not have known uterine problems or genetic abnormalities that would prevent pregnancy

This study compares two types of calcium treatments to help activate eggs during in vitro fertilization (IVF) when sperm motility or fertilization is a concern. It may help couples who have had poor fertilization results in the past.
This study tests whether a special device that selects the most active sperm can improve IVF success rates when the male partner is 40 or older. The goal is to see if this sorting technique, combined with genetic testing of embryos, leads to healthier pregnancies.
This trial tests a new AI system that analyzes sperm to predict how well they might work in fertility treatments like IVF or ICSI. It aims to help doctors choose the best sperm for a successful pregnancy.
This trial compares two advanced methods of selecting the best sperm for use in ICSI (a type of IVF). It looks at whether one method leads to higher pregnancy rates than the other.
This study tests a new system (BAIBYS) to see if it’s safe and effective for ICSI—a treatment where a single sperm is injected into an egg. It’s for couples dealing with male infertility who have a sperm problem and want to improve their chances of success.
This study tests a new computer algorithm (SiDTM v2.0) that helps embryologists pick the best sperm to use during ICSI, a fertility treatment where a single sperm is injected into an egg. It may improve success rates for women over 35 with at least 4 mature eggs retrieved.
