Lab method to rescue immature eggs for research
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a new lab method (called OSC co-culture) to grow immature eggs in the lab so they can mature and be fertilized for research. It aims to learn how to rescue eggs that didn't fully develop, which could help improve future fertility treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman between 18 and 45 years old.
- In your egg retrieval, you have at least 2 immature eggs (called GV oocytes).
- You and your partner agree to join the study and give informed consent.
- All embryos made in this study will be used only for research, not for treatment.
- Your partner's sperm must not come from a surgical procedure, and donor eggs or sperm are not used.
- Your immature eggs must look normal under the microscope, without severe damage or deformities.

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 methods of maturing eggs before fertilization for in vitro fertilization (IVF) to see which one works better. One method uses a new technique called CAPA-IVM, and the other is a standard method with minimal stimulation. The study aims to help people with infertility by finding a more effective and potentially safer way to grow eggs.
This study tests a new way to collect eggs without using fertility hormones, then fertilize them and freeze the embryos for later transfer. It may help women who want to avoid hormone injections, but it requires several monitoring visits and specific health criteria.
This study tests a new sensor that checks the quality of eggs (oocytes) during IVF treatment. It aims to help choose the best eggs for fertilization, which may improve the chances of a successful pregnancy for couples facing male infertility.
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.
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.
