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 tests a gentle egg maturation method (CAPA-IVM) for women who don't have PCOS and are doing their first IVF cycle. The goal is to see if it works well for freezing embryos for later transfer.
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 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 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 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 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.
