Female infertility

This trial tests whether Fang Le Shu, a recombinant FSH drug, works as well as the standard Gonal-F for ovarian stimulation in women undergoing IVF. About 248 infertile women will receive one of the two drugs to stimulate their ovaries. Researchers will compare the number of eggs…

This trial is testing whether a more affordable hormone protocol can work as well as standard IVF stimulation. Typically, IVF uses expensive gonadotropins to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. The study compares a protocol that replaces a large portion of these with …

This early-stage study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cords can help women with a thin uterine lining become pregnant. The treatment aims to thicken the lining and reduce scarring, potentially improving pregnancy and live birth rates. The study involves 24 women aged 20-…

This study looks at whether flushing the fallopian tubes with an oil-based dye after a standard foam test can improve the chance of having a baby. About 736 infertile women aged 18-40 with at least one open tube will be randomly assigned to get the extra flush or not. The main go…

This study tests whether a simple ear acupressure technique, called auricular point sticking therapy, can reduce anxiety and improve sleep in women undergoing IVF. 178 women aged 20-45 with anxiety or insomnia will either receive standard IVF care or standard care plus ear acupre…

This pilot study tests whether an online stress management program called Stress Free Now can lower stress and possibly increase pregnancy rates in women aged 18-34 who have been trying to conceive for 6-12 months. Forty women will be randomly assigned to either the program or a …

This study looks at whether a low-fat diet can increase reproductive hormones in women with obesity. Thirty women with regular cycles and no other hormone issues will follow a carefully controlled diet. The goal is to see if diet alone can improve hormone levels linked to fertili…

This study looks at whether transferring a frozen embryo on day 6 or day 7 of progesterone treatment leads to more live births. It includes 316 women aged 18-43 who have at least one high-quality, genetically normal embryo. Researchers will track pregnancy and miscarriage rates t…

This study checks whether tiny plastic particles, called microplastics, can be found in the cells and fluid around eggs in women undergoing fertility treatment (ICSI). Researchers will collect samples from 100 women to see if microplastics are present. The goal is simply to find …

This study tests a new injectable fertility drug (QL1012D) against an approved one (Gonal-F®) in 48 healthy women aged 18-45. The goal is to see if the new drug works the same way in the body and is just as safe. Participants receive both drugs at different times to compare them …

This study looks at how breast cancer itself may affect a woman's ability to have children later. Researchers are comparing egg quality and hormone responses in 100 women with breast cancer versus healthy egg donors. The goal is to understand why cancer can reduce the number and …

This study watches embryos grow using time-lapse cameras and compares their development to genetic test results. Researchers hope to find visual clues that indicate a healthy embryo. 2000 IVF patients are taking part. If a link is found, it could lead to a less invasive way to ch…

This study is creating a biobank—a collection of blood samples and health data—to help researchers better understand gynecological disorders, infertility in men and women, and pregnancy-related conditions. Up to 3,000 participants will provide samples at San Raffaele Hospital in …
