Growing eggs in the lab for women with PCOS
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with PCOS or have many eggs available
- You have an antral follicle count greater than 24
- Your AMH level is higher than 3.5 ng/ml
- Your body mass index is under 35
- You agree to have embryos tested for genetic problems before transfer
- You plan to have an embryo transfer within 4 months after the egg collection cycle
- Your partner or sperm donor is under age 45 with healthy sperm (normal count, shape, and movement)

This study compares two ways of retrieving eggs for fertility treatment in women with PCOS. One method is called IVM (maturation of eggs in the lab) and the other is conventional ovarian stimulation (taking hormones to mature eggs in the body). The goal is to see how each affects a woman's physical and mental well-being during the treatment process.
This study tests a new lab method (called OSC co-culture) to grow immature eggs in the lab so they can mature and be fertilized for research. It aims to learn how to rescue eggs that didn't fully develop, which could help improve future fertility treatments.
This study tests a new way to collect eggs without using fertility hormones, then fertilize them and freeze the embryos for later transfer. It may help women who want to avoid hormone injections, but it requires several monitoring visits and specific health criteria.
This study compares two methods of maturing eggs before fertilization for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to see which one works better. One method uses a new technique called CAPA-IVM, and the other is a standard method with minimal stimulation. The study aims to help people with infertility by finding a more effective and potentially safer way to grow eggs.
This study tests a new way of growing eggs in the lab called in vitro maturation (IVM) for women undergoing fertility treatment. It may help women who have concerns about hormone injections, as IVM uses less medication.
This study looks at gene activity in cumulus cells (cells that surround the egg) during a special type of in vitro maturation (CAPA-IVM) for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may help doctors better understand how to improve this treatment for women with PCOS.
