NCT ID NCT06673004

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether transplanting ovarian tissue from a sister can restore fertility and hormone production in women with premature ovarian failure (early menopause). Ten women will receive tissue from their non-identical sister, along with immunosuppressive drugs to prevent rejection. The goal is to see if periods return and if pregnancy is possible.

ovarian tissue transplant

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a way for women with premature ovarian failure to restore fertility and hormone function without needing an egg donor.

This is a very small, early study with only 10 participants. The transplant requires lifelong immunosuppression, which carries risks like infection and organ damage. Success is not guaranteed.
