Super-GDF9 for egg maturation in women with PCOS
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a protein called Super-GDF9 added to the lab process of maturing eggs from very small follicles. It may help women with PCOS produce more usable eggs for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 38 years old.
- Your BMI is 32 or less.
- You have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) as defined by the Rotterdam criteria.
- You are planning to have a CAPA-IVM treatment (a type of in vitro maturation).
- Your AMH level is 4 ng/mL or higher, and you have at least 24 small follicles in both ovaries.
- You are willing to donate eggs for research and agree to freeze any embryos made.

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 fertility treatment called CAPA-IVM, which matures eggs outside the body without strong fertility drugs. It may be an option for women with regular periods who need IVF for the first time.
This trial compares two fertility treatments for women with PCOS: in vitro maturation (IVM) with fresh embryo transfer versus standard IVF with frozen embryo transfer. It aims to find which approach leads to better outcomes.
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 way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.
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.
