Freezing Ovarian Tissue and Eggs for Cancer Patients
Part of Cancer, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of preserving a woman's fertility before cancer treatment: freezing eggs alone versus freezing both eggs and ovarian tissue. The goal is to help women who may lose fertility due to chemotherapy or radiation keep their options open for having biological children in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study helps people with cancer preserve their fertility (ability to have biological children) before undergoing cancer treatment that could affect their eggs or sperm. The trial compares two different hormone-injection methods to prepare eggs for freezing.
This study looks at freezing (cryopreserving) ovarian tissue in people who are at risk of early menopause because of cancer treatment or surgery. It may help preserve natural hormone function and possible future fertility for those who cannot or do not want to freeze eggs or embryos.
This trial compares two hormone protocols for ovarian stimulation in women having their first cycle—either to freeze eggs for fertility preservation or for IVF with genetic testing. The goal is to see which method leads to more usable eggs while being easier on the patient.
This study looks at how treatments that can harm ovaries or testicles (like certain chemotherapy, radiation, and immune therapies) may affect fertility. It may help you and others by measuring hormone levels (and in some cases sperm) before and during/after treatment.
This trial looks at freezing ovarian tissue to help protect future fertility for people who may lose ovarian function from medical treatments or ovarian surgery. It may help you preserve the chance to have children later when egg or embryo freezing alone isn’t an option.
This study helps people who are about to start cancer treatment (or have certain health conditions) preserve their ability to have children later. It removes and freezes a small piece of ovarian tissue before treatments that could damage the ovaries.
