A study of discarded embryos from IVF cycles
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at leftover embryos that were not used in IVF cycles. It may help researchers learn more about embryo development. If you are having IVF and have a discarded embryo, this study might be for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 42 years old.
- You are doing IVF or ICSI with fresh eggs, and your embryos will be grown to day 5-6 (blastocyst stage).
- You have signed a consent form agreeing to take part.
- You are not having IVF to test for a specific genetic disease or chromosome rearrangement (PGT-M or PGT-SR).
- You have at least one embryo on day 5-6 that was not used for transfer and is not degenerated (with a visible inner cell mass).
Quick eligibility check

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies embryos that formed from eggs or sperm with an unusual fertilization pattern. It aims to learn more about these embryos to possibly improve future fertility treatments.
This study compares two ways to choose which single blastocyst (a 5-6 day old embryo) to transfer after IVF. It looks at a noninvasive test versus the usual method of selecting by appearance, and aims to improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
This study looks at DNA found in leftover IVF lab materials to see if it can provide useful information during embryo screening. You might benefit indirectly by helping researchers test a less wasteful way to learn about embryos during IVF with chromosomal screening.
This study looks at biomaterials that are normally thrown away during IVF treatment to see what they can teach us about the success of the treatment cycle. If you are getting IVF at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, you may be able to help by letting researchers study these discarded materials.
This study looks at discarded leftover medical materials. There are no listed eligibility limits, so it may be open to many people depending on what materials and consent are needed.
This study tests a new non-invasive way to check how embryos are developing before they are frozen and later transferred. It looks at fluid around the embryo to see if it can give extra information about embryo health.
