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 a milder hormone-free treatment (IVM) to standard IVF for women with PCOS. It looks at how each treatment affects your body and mind, and aims to find which option is better for first-time fertility patients.
This research study tests a new way to help immature eggs (called GV oocytes) develop in the laboratory. The goal is to improve techniques for growing eggs outside the body, which could benefit future fertility treatments.
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 tests a new way to mature eggs in the lab (called in vitro maturation) for women who want to preserve their fertility. It may help those who need egg retrieval but cannot use standard hormone stimulation.
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.
This study tests a method to help eggs mature in a lab for people who want to preserve their fertility, such as before cancer treatment. It uses eggs collected during standard procedures.
