Does PICSI improve embryo health in older couples?
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a specific sperm selection method (PICSI) helps increase the number of chromosomally normal embryos in couples using ICSI and PGT-A. It may be especially relevant if you are an older couple or have concerns about sperm quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a couple planning a fertility treatment called ICSI with embryo testing (PGT-A).
- Either the woman is over 35 years old or the man is over 40 years old.
- On the day your eggs are checked, you need to have at least 2 mature eggs available.
- You must use your own fresh eggs and sperm, not donor or frozen ones.

This trial tests an artificial intelligence system that helps select the best sperm for use during IVF with ICSI. The goal is to see if this improves fertilization, embryo development, and reduces early pregnancy loss.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to check how embryos are developing before they are frozen and later transferred. It looks at fluid around the embryo to see if it can give extra information about embryo health.
This study tests whether adding antioxidants to the liquid that embryos grow in can improve the chance of having healthy embryos with the right number of chromosomes. It is for people undergoing IVF with ICSI and embryo testing (PGT-A).
This study compares two advanced sperm-selection methods used during IVF to see which gives better results. It may help couples with male infertility, especially when sperm DNA damage is high.
This trial tests a computer program that helps embryologists pick the best sperm for ICSI (a fertility treatment where sperm is injected into an egg). It may improve the chances of a successful pregnancy for women over 35 or those using donor eggs.
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.
