Robot takes over IVF lab: will it beat human hands?

NCT ID NCT06581068

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a new automated system called AURA that handles sperm, eggs, and embryos during IVF. About 150 patients will have their samples processed by the machine, while some eggs are handled the usual way for comparison. The goal is to see if the robot can perform lab tasks as well as humans, potentially making IVF more reliable.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
AURA automated IVF system (device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could make IVF more consistent and efficient by reducing human error in the lab.
What could go wrong
This is an early validation study with only 150 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The system may not perform as well as manual methods.
