NCT ID NCT06831019
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how oxidative stress—a type of cell damage—in both women and men affects the success of in vitro fertilization (IVF). Researchers will measure oxidative stress markers in blood, egg follicle fluid, and sperm from 1,100 couples. The goal is to see if higher oxidative stress is linked to poorer embryo development and lower pregnancy rates.
