What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 an AI-driven device called BAIBYS™ that automatically selects sperm based on movement, size, and shape for use in IVF. Half of the eggs from each couple will be fertilized using sperm chosen by the AI, and the other half using the standard manual method. The goal is to see if the AI leads to more usable embryos and higher pregnancy rates. The trial involves 260 couples where the male partner has abnormal sperm parameters.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
BAIBYS™ System (AI-based sperm selection device)
What this could lead to
If successful, this AI tool could make sperm selection faster and more consistent, potentially leading to higher-quality embryos and more successful pregnancies in IVF.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with 260 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device could malfunction or not improve outcomes as hoped, and there is a small risk of serious adverse events.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Couples intended to be ICSI recruited from the clinic's IVF units. Couples may be utilizing their own gametes, or gametes from one known donor (for donated gametes, the donor will also need to consent). 2. Male subject aged ≥ 21 years at the time of screening 3. Male subjects with at least 1 abnormal parameter at the sperm analysis according to the WHO criteria (count, motility, or morphology) 4. Female subjects aged 21 to 42 years at the time of screening 5. Number of follicles ≥14 mm as measured by ultrasound evaluation at ovulation trigger is at least 11 6. The subject can provide a sperm sample by ejaculation. Sperm can be produced by electric ejaculation. Fresh or thawed sperm can be used for the procedure. 7. Total Motile sperm Count (TMC) \> 1 million 8. The subject can understand and sign a written informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: 1. Severe grade IV endometriosis (suspected or confirmed by surgery), moderate to severe adenomyosis, or a condition that is known to render implantation unlikely, such as 3 or more prior losses related to uterine issues. 2. Sperm produced by TESE (testicular sperm extraction)/TESA (testicular sperm aspiration). 3. The subjects are under active oncology treatment. 4. Participation in another study with any investigational drug or device that may conflict with the objectives, follow-up, or testing of this study. 5. Planned sex selection or any other scenario where a less-optimal embryo is planned to be transferred 6. Anonymous donor or other donor scenarios where it is uncertain whether freely given consent can be obtained
