New test could help IVF doctors choose the best embryo
NCT ID NCT05332769
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether the energy activity of cumulus cells (cells that surround an egg) can predict which embryo will lead to a successful pregnancy. Researchers will measure these cells using a special microscope technique, then track outcomes like live birth. The goal is to find a non-invasive way to select the best embryo for transfer in IVF.
