Reimplanting frozen ovarian tissue in sarcoma and blood cancer survivors
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at transplanting ovarian tissue that was frozen before cancer treatment to help restore fertility and hormone function in people who survived sarcomas or blood cancers. It aims to see if this procedure is safe and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had Ewing sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia, or myelodysplasia.
- You are over 18 years old and, if your tissue hasn't been frozen yet, you were under 38 at the time of freezing.
- Your cancer doctor has approved the procedure of either freezing or reimplanting ovarian tissue.
- If you want reimplantation, you are experiencing early menopause or irregular periods.
- You do not have active infections like HIV, hepatitis B or C, syphilis, or an abnormal Pap test.

This study looks at how often women who had ovarian tissue frozen come back to have it reimplanted, and whether the tissue helps restore ovarian function after treatment.
This study tests whether using a special mix made from your own blood (called platelet-rich plasma) can improve the success of putting frozen ovarian tissue back into your body. This might help restore your fertility and hormone function after cancer treatment or other conditions.
This trial compares two methods of preserving a woman's fertility before cancer treatment: freezing eggs alone versus freezing both eggs and ovarian tissue. The goal is to help women who may lose fertility due to chemotherapy or radiation keep their options open for having biological children in the future.
This study tests a method to preserve fertility by freezing ovarian tissue before cancer treatment and later re-implanting it. It may help young women and girls who face infertility from their cancer therapy.
This study tests a way to protect future fertility in young people who need cancer treatment. It freezes ovarian tissue before treatment and, if appropriate, later returns it to the body to help restore hormone production and possible future pregnancy.
This study looks at transplanting ovarian tissue that was saved (frozen) before, to help some people who have low ovarian function try for pregnancy. It’s only for certain participants who are otherwise healthy and cleared by their cancer/gynecology team.
