AI tool to find sperm in surgery samples for male infertility
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests an artificial intelligence tool that helps doctors find very rare sperm in tissue removed during sperm retrieval surgery. If you have non-obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in your semen) and are having micro-TESE surgery, the AI might help find sperm that standard methods miss.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a male who has been diagnosed with infertility caused by non-obstructive azoospermia (no sperm in your semen, not due to a blockage).
- You are scheduled for microsurgical testicular sperm extraction (micro-TESE) at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
- During your surgery, the regular manual search for sperm does not find enough usable sperm.

This trial tests an artificial intelligence system that helps select the best sperm for use during IVF with ICSI. The goal is to see if this improves fertilization, embryo development, and reduces early pregnancy loss.
This study uses an artificial intelligence (computer) tool to look at results from IVF and related fertility treatments. It may help clinicians assess outcomes more accurately for people going through ovarian stimulation and embryo or egg freezing.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to assess the quality of eggs and embryos during IVF. It aims to help doctors select the best embryos for transfer, potentially increasing the chance of a successful pregnancy.
This trial tests a new device that cleans sperm before it's used in intrauterine insemination (IUI), a common fertility treatment. It aims to see if this device improves sperm quality and pregnancy chances for couples struggling with infertility.
This study uses artificial intelligence to find the best time to transfer an embryo during IVF. It may help people who have had up to 3 unsuccessful transfers before.
This study tests artificial intelligence to optimize when doctors trigger egg release during IVF treatment. Better timing may improve egg quality and IVF success rates. You'll have all ultrasound monitoring at the study center.
