Sister's ovary tissue may restore fertility in early menopause

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria (Recipient): * Must meet criteria for primary ovarian insufficiency: Amenorrheic x12 months; Serum hormone (FSH, LH, estradiol, AMH) levels consistent with menopause * Must be between the ages of 21-40 years old. * Must be in a committed relationship with a male partner. * Must be willing to attempt natural conception within 4 months following transplant. * Must be willing to undergo a pre-transplant evaluation. * Must be willing to undergo Maternal Fetal Medicine consultation and evaluation for safety of pregnancy, particularly patients at risk of complications in pregnancy (e.g. Turner syndrome patients). * Must be willing to undergo general anesthesia, minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, pregnancy with potential high risk complications, and surgery to remove the graft * Must be willing and able to receive potent immunosuppressive medications and must be able to follow standard infection prophylaxis protocols * Must have been offered and declined donor oocyte IVF as a first line treatment option * Must be willing to receive standard vaccinations such as influenza, Hepatitis B.

Inclusion Criteria (Recipient Male Partner) * Must be age 18 years or older (and a combined age not greater than 110 years). * Must have a normal semen analysis. * Must be willing and able to sign informed consent. * Intended parents (meaning, the recipient and partner) must be willing to seek independent legal advice from attorneys with specific expertise in third-party reproduction to determine their legal rights and duties in entering into a donor reproductive tissue arrangements. Exclusion Criteria (Donor) (to be verified by history and review of the medical chart by the study team) * History of hypertension, diabetes, or significant heart, liver, kidney or central nervous system disease. * Any medical diagnosis placing the subject at high risk of surgical complications based on the team's review of medical history. * Current smoker (smoking cessation must have occurred 3 months prior to enrollment). * History of prior malignancy except for cervical cancer in stage 1a or 1b after 3 years. * History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), mycobacteria, hepatitis C. * Hepatitis B infection (Hepatitis B risk is for those with HepB surface antigen and/or HBV DNA positive. Those that are HepB core antibody true-positive are at minimal risk of reactivation. Those with vaccine-induced HepB surface antibody are not at risk). * Presence of active documented systemic infection or recent systemic infection within the past three months: Positive for syphilis (T. pallidum), chlamydia (C. trachomatis) or gonorrhea (N. gonorrhea). * BMI greater than 35 kg/m2 Exclusion Criteria (Recipient) * History of hypertension, diabetes, or significant heart, liver, kidney or central nervous system disease.

Those that are HepB core antibody true-positive are at minimal risk of reactivation. Those with vaccine-induced HepB surface antibody are not at risk). * Presence of active documented systemic infection or recent systemic infection within the past three months. * Significant mental illness or substance abuse. * BMI greater than 30 kg/m2 * Prior organ transplant with rejection, infection, or graft thrombosis.
