The ROAR Study: Oxygen and Reproduction
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how oxygen levels might affect egg health and embryo development in people undergoing IVF with genetic testing (PGT-A). The goal is to see if changing oxygen during the IVF process can improve the chance of having a healthy baby.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 43 years old (female partner).
- Your male partner is 18 or older.
- You are planning to have your embryos grown to the blastocyst stage (5-6 days old) followed by genetic testing (PGT-A).
- You are already a patient at UCSF Center for Reproductive Health.
- Both you and your partner must be physically present on the day of your egg retrieval.

This study tests whether changing the timing of hormones during ovarian stimulation can improve IVF results for people with certain ovarian reserve levels. It may help find a stimulation approach that works better for first-time (or second) IVF cycles.
This study looks at how environmental exposures and stress-related “oxidant” changes may affect fertility outcomes in IVF for women. You may be invited if you are in your first IVF egg retrieval cycle and meet the study’s specific IVF setup rules.
This trial tests whether keeping embryos at a constant 5% oxygen is better than starting at 5% and lowering to 2% during IVF. It aims to find the best way to help your embryos develop and improve your chances of a successful pregnancy.
This study tests whether adding antioxidants to the liquid that embryos grow in can improve the chance of having healthy embryos with the right number of chromosomes. It is for people undergoing IVF with ICSI and embryo testing (PGT-A).
This study looks at how the father's age might affect the growth of embryos in the lab. It is for couples doing their first IVF cycle, planning to test embryos for genetic health before freezing them, and then transferring one healthy embryo.
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.
