Comparing sperm prep methods for better embryo development
This trial compares two ways of preparing sperm to see which leads to healthier embryos. It may help couples where the female partner is 18–34 years old and the male has enough sperm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Male must have at least 15 million sperm per milliliter in his sample.
- Female partner must be between 18 and 34 years old.
- At least 4 fertilized eggs are needed in each sperm preparation group.
- Female partner must not have had repeated pregnancy losses.
- Female partner must not have low ovarian reserve.

This study looks at how much DNA damage in sperm affects the success of a fertility treatment called ICSI (injecting a single sperm directly into an egg). By checking the sperm's DNA before the procedure, the researchers hope to find better ways to help couples achieve a pregnancy.
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 trial tests two ways of preparing sperm for IVF. One method uses a special device, and the other uses a standard lab technique. The goal is to see if the device works as well as the standard method for men with high sperm DNA damage.
This study compares two ways of preparing sperm for IVF (a microfluidic chip versus a centrifuge method). It aims to see which method leads to more genetically normal embryos (euploid) when doing PGT (pre-implantation genetic testing).
This trial compares two ways of preparing sperm for IVF: a new microfluidic chip method versus the standard density-gradient centrifugation. It aims to see which method leads to more successful fertilizations and pregnancies.
This study compares two ways of preparing sperm for IVF when you are also doing genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A). One method uses a microfluidic chip, and the other is the standard spinning technique. The goal is to see which method leads to better embryo development.
