Own bone marrow cells aimed at restarting ovaries
NCT ID NCT06302543
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing whether injecting a woman's own bone marrow cells into her ovaries can restore ovarian function in premature ovarian insufficiency, a condition where the ovaries stop working before age 40. Ten women with the diagnosis will receive the treatment, which involves collecting bone marrow under general anesthesia, concentrating the cells, and injecting them into the ovaries through the vagina under ultrasound guidance. The study will track changes in hormone levels and look for signs of egg follicle development.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells injected into the ovaries
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer women with premature ovarian insufficiency a way to restore ovarian function using their own cells, without donor eggs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small, single-arm study with no control group, so any changes seen may not be caused by the treatment. Bone marrow aspiration and ovarian injection carry risks such as bleeding, infection, and discomfort.
