Can freezing ovarian tissue help people with turner syndrome or early menopause have kids?
NCT ID NCT04948658
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether freezing ovarian tissue can help preserve fertility in people aged 2-21 with conditions like Turner syndrome, galactosemia, or premature ovarian insufficiency. Participants may have surgery to remove and freeze a gonad, with a small piece used for research. The goal is to understand why these conditions cause infertility and if frozen tissue can be used later for childbearing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
gonadal tissue freezing (cryopreservation)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a way for people with certain conditions to preserve their fertility and potentially have biological children in the future.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study, not a treatment trial. The frozen tissue may not lead to successful pregnancy, and storage costs after one year are not covered.
