Mitochondria from fat cells to boost IVF eggs
Treatments studied
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests if giving your eggs a boost from your own fat-cell mitochondria can improve chances of a healthy pregnancy for people who have had multiple failed IVF cycles. You'll donate a small amount of fat through liposuction, and the mitochondria from those cells will be added to your eggs before fertilization.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least three IVF cycles that didn't lead to a baby.
- You agree to have a genetic test on your embryos (PGT-A) and to freeze all embryos.
- You are willing to have a small liposuction procedure to collect fat cells from your belly or thigh.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is less than 26.
- No major problems with your uterus or ovaries (like large cysts or polycystic ovaries).
- Sperm from your partner is healthy (at least 5 million moving sperm per milliliter).

This trial uses your own fat cells (called stromal vascular fraction) to try to improve ovarian function and help you become pregnant if you have premature ovarian insufficiency. It may help restore your egg supply and menstrual cycles.
This trial tests a new treatment using your own fat cells to improve ovarian function in women with low egg reserve. It aims to see if this can help with fertility.
This study tests a new way to collect eggs without using fertility hormones, then fertilize them and freeze the embryos for later transfer. It may help women who want to avoid hormone injections, but it requires several monitoring visits and specific health criteria.
This study tests a new approach: taking your own cells and injecting them into your ovaries to help them work better and improve your chances of having a baby through IVF. It might be an option if you haven't had good results with standard IVF so far.
This trial tests a new way to help eggs mature outside the body during IVF. It is for women who need IVF and have good egg reserves, to see if it can improve their chances of a healthy pregnancy.
This trial tests whether taking alpha-lipoic acid (an antioxidant supplement) before and during IVF can improve pregnancy success in women aged 35–45 using their own eggs. It aims to see if the supplement can help counter age-related declines in egg quality.
