NCT ID NCT02646384

First seen Nov 14, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study offers girls from birth to age 17 the chance to freeze ovarian tissue before cancer treatment or other therapies that could harm their fertility. The goal is to see if the frozen tissue can later be transplanted back to allow pregnancy and live birth. The procedure is still experimental, so this research helps make it available under careful oversight.
