Can exosomes boost egg maturation in women with low ovarian reserve?
NCT ID NCT07249411
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early study looked at whether adding a woman's own exosomes (tiny particles from her cells) to the liquid used to grow eggs in the lab could help more eggs mature. 32 women with low ovarian reserve took part. The goal was to see if the method was safe and worked, but no embryos were transferred in this phase.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women with primary or secondary infertility associated with diminished ovarian reserve, defined by ultrasound findings and laboratory parameters (FSH \> 10 mIU/mL and estradiol \< 60 pg/mL). * Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration \< 1 ng/mL. * Antral follicle count \< 3-6 follicles per ovary. * Anatomical preservation of both ovaries. * Body mass index (BMI) between 24.5 and 30 kg/m². * Absence of active oncological pathologies or connective tissue diseases (collagenopathies). * No history of clinically relevant hematological disorders. * Adequate serum levels of vitamins essential for reproductive function, including vitamin D, B-complex, and vitamin C. * Last live birth within ≤ 10 years prior to study initiation. * Normal thyroid function (TSH and free thyroid hormones within range). * Absence of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. * Male partner with semen parameters within normal limits, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, 2010 (5th edition) and 2021 (6th edition). * Signed informed consent for participation in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * • Patients without a diagnosis of infertility. * Women without documented diminished ovarian reserve. * Serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration \> 1 ng/mL. * Antral follicle count \> 3-6 follicles per ovary. * Absence of one or both ovaries. * Body mass index (BMI) \> 30 kg/m². * Presence of active oncological pathologies or connective tissue diseases (collagenopathies). * History of clinically relevant hematological disorders. * Deficient or altered serum levels of vitamins essential for reproductive function (vitamin D, B-complex, and vitamin C). * Last live birth \> 10 years prior to study initiation. * Altered thyroid function (TSH or free thyroid hormones out of range). * History of antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. * Male partner with abnormal semen parameters according to the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria, 2010 (5th edition) and 2021 (6th edition). * Refusal to sign informed consent for study participation.
