Fertility shield: goserelin injection may preserve ovarian function after stem cell transplant
NCT ID NCT07552493
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a single injection of goserelin, given just before a stem cell transplant, can help preserve ovarian function in women with blood cancers. The trial will enroll 64 women aged 14 to 50 and measure if their menstrual cycles return naturally within six months after the transplant. The goal is to reduce the risk of early menopause and infertility caused by the high-dose chemotherapy used in the transplant.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- goserelin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to protect fertility and ovarian function in women undergoing stem cell transplants for blood cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 64 participants. The drug may not improve menstrual recovery, and there could be side effects from the hormone suppression.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1\. Haematological patients scheduled for autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation; 2. Female patients aged 14 to 50 years with regular menstrual cycles prior to transplantation; 3. Patients or their legal representatives must voluntarily participate and sign an informed consent form, demonstrating comprehension and willingness to comply with all study procedures and requirements; 4. Estimated survival exceeding one year to ensure sufficient time for monitoring menstrual recovery. Exclusion Criteria: 1\. Patients with severe dysfunction of vital organs such as the heart, liver, or kidneys, which may compromise study outcomes or increase patient risk; 2. Patients with a history of allergy to goserelin or related medications; 3. Patients who have previously undergone menopause due to physiological or pathological factors; 4. Patients with a history of gynaecological conditions (e.g., polycystic ovary syndrome, endometriosis) that may interfere with the assessment of menstrual recovery; 5. Patients currently participating in other clinical studies that may influence menstrual recovery; 6. Patients who refuse to participate in this clinical study.
