Testing platelet-rich plasma to improve sperm quality
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special blood product made from your own blood (platelet-rich plasma, or PRP) can improve the swimming ability and quality of sperm in the lab. It is for female volunteers who donate blood to help this research, possibly helping couples with infertility.

This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into your ovaries can improve the quality of your embryos. You will go through two IVF cycles, and the treatment aims to help women with low embryo quality get better results.
This study tests whether adding a woman's own platelet-rich plasma (a substance made from her blood that may help healing) to her partner's sperm before intrauterine insemination (a fertility treatment where sperm is placed directly into the uterus) improves the chance of pregnancy.
This trial tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to sperm before intrauterine insemination (IUI) improves pregnancy chances. PRP is a concentration of your own blood platelets that might help sperm and the uterine lining.
This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) into the uterus or ovaries can help women with certain fertility issues, such as damaged uterine lining, scarring, or low egg reserve. It aims to improve pregnancy chances in these challenging cases.
This study tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—a concentration of healing cells from your own blood—injected into the uterus can improve the uterine lining and help embryos implant successfully during fertility treatment. Researchers will check how the treatment changes immune cells in the uterus.
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP – a treatment made from your blood that may help healing) to donor sperm before freezing helps protect the sperm. You may qualify if you are a healthy man aged 18–35 with strong semen quality.
