Could a fluid test predict IVF success in older women?
NCT ID NCT07214246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study examines small molecules called microRNAs found in the fluid surrounding a woman's eggs. Researchers want to see if these molecules can reveal how well the ovaries are aging and predict success with IVF. The study involves 100 women undergoing IVF, comparing those under 31 with those over 38. No treatments are given; the goal is simply to find better ways to measure egg quality.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a simple test to predict egg quality and IVF success, especially for older women.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early observational study with no treatment being tested. The findings may not lead to any practical test or change in care.
