Gene study of cumulus cells in CAPA-IVM for PCOS patients
Part of Cancer, Hormones & metabolism, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at gene activity in cumulus cells (cells that surround the egg) during a special type of in vitro maturation (CAPA-IVM) for women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). It may help doctors better understand how to improve this treatment for women with PCOS.

This study tests a way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS or high ovarian reserve. It might help avoid side effects from fertility medications.
This study compares two ways of retrieving eggs for fertility treatment in women with PCOS. One method is called IVM (maturation of eggs in the lab) and the other is conventional ovarian stimulation (taking hormones to mature eggs in the body). The goal is to see how each affects a woman's physical and mental well-being during the treatment process.
This study tests a protein called Super-GDF9 added to the lab process of maturing eggs from very small follicles. It may help women with PCOS produce more usable eggs for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
This study tests a fertility treatment called CAPA-IVM, which matures eggs outside the body without strong fertility drugs. It may be an option for women with regular periods who need IVF for the first time.
This trial compares two fertility treatments for women with PCOS: in vitro maturation (IVM) with fresh embryo transfer versus standard IVF with frozen embryo transfer. It aims to find which approach leads to better outcomes.
This study tests a new way of growing eggs in the lab called in vitro maturation (IVM) for women undergoing fertility treatment. It may help women who have concerns about hormone injections, as IVM uses less medication.
