NCT ID NCT07093619

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares a new microfluidic sperm-sorting chip (FERTILE Plus) to the standard density gradient method for preparing sperm used in IVF with genetic testing (PGT-A). Researchers will measure how long each method takes and whether embryos made with chip-sorted sperm are more likely to be chromosomally normal. The trial enrolls 100 women undergoing IVF, using a split-sample design so each sperm sample is processed both ways.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FERTILE Plus microfluidic sperm sorting chip
What this could lead to
If microfluidic sperm preparation proves faster and yields more chromosomally normal embryos, it could become a standard technique in IVF labs, potentially improving success rates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two lab methods. Even if microfluidics shows benefits here, results may not translate to higher live birth rates or apply to all fertility cases.

Study facts

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 100 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
