NCT ID NCT06880302
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a biobank of male biological samples, such as sperm and testicular tissue, from men undergoing fertility treatments. The goal is to collect and store these samples for future research on male infertility and assisted reproductive technologies. Up to 1,000 participants will provide samples, but no experimental treatments are being tested.
