NCT ID NCT07197983
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a new automated system can freeze human eggs and embryos as effectively as the current manual method. Researchers will compare survival rates after thawing between the two methods using surplus eggs and embryos from 125 IVF patients. If successful, automation could standardize the process, reduce costs, and make fertility treatments more accessible.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Automated vitrification system (PRESERVE-CR)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a standardized, automated freezing process that reduces costs and makes fertility treatments more accessible.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study testing only survival rates, not pregnancy outcomes. The automated system may not perform as well as manual methods in real-world settings.
