Calcium activator treatments for egg fertilization challenges
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study compares two types of calcium treatments to help activate eggs during in vitro fertilization (IVF) when sperm motility or fertilization is a concern. It may help couples who have had poor fertilization results in the past.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 43 years old
- You have at least 3 mature eggs available after preparation
- Your BMI is below 35
- You are using ICSI (injecting sperm directly into eggs) due to low sperm motility or previous poor fertilization
- If doing genetic testing of embryos, only the outer cell layer will be biopsied (day 5, 6, or 7)
- Your sperm sample is either immotile or from testicular extraction (TESE)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two lab techniques (ICSI alone vs. ICSI with AOA) to see which leads to more live births for couples where the male partner has very abnormal sperm shape (99-100% abnormal). The study focuses on women aged 20-37 who are undergoing fertility treatment.
This study tests whether a special device that selects the most active sperm can improve IVF success rates when the male partner is 40 or older. The goal is to see if this sorting technique, combined with genetic testing of embryos, leads to healthier pregnancies.
This study tests whether a sperm selection method called ZyMōt can help improve the chromosome health (ploidy) of embryos in couples who are already doing ICSI and PGT-A. It focuses on women over 37 and uses a fresh semen sample.
This study tests whether adding antioxidants to the liquid that embryos grow in can improve the chance of having healthy embryos with the right number of chromosomes. It is for people undergoing IVF with ICSI and embryo testing (PGT-A).
This study tests a new computer algorithm (SiDTM v2.0) that helps embryologists pick the best sperm to use during ICSI, a fertility treatment where a single sperm is injected into an egg. It may improve success rates for women over 35 with at least 4 mature eggs retrieved.
This research study tests a new way to help immature eggs (called GV oocytes) develop in the laboratory. The goal is to improve techniques for growing eggs outside the body, which could benefit future fertility treatments.
