Blood plasma may boost egg maturation in PCOS patients
NCT ID NCT07514234
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to lab dishes helps immature eggs from women with PCOS mature. Researchers tried three different PRP concentrations and found that 5% PRP worked best, leading to more mature eggs than standard methods. The study was small (15 participants) and only looked at egg development in the lab, not pregnancy outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
- What this could lead to
- If confirmed, this could lead to a safer way to mature eggs outside the body for women with PCOS, reducing the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small pilot study (15 participants) and only looked at egg maturation in a lab dish, not actual pregnancy or live birth rates. More research is needed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Immature oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage * Oocytes obtained from patients fulfilling clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria for PCOS, defined by the presence of at least two of the following three characteristics: clinical hyperandrogenism and/or biochemical hyperandrogenemia, ovulatory dysfunction (oligomenorrhea or anovulation), and polycystic ovarian morphology (≥12 follicles measuring 2-9 mm in each ovary on ultrasonography) * Oocytes collected from patients undergoing ovarian stimulation using the same ovarian stimulation protocol. * Oocytes obtained from patients with primary infertility * Oocytes obtained from treatment-naive patients with PCOS. Exclusion Criteria: \- Oocytes obtained from patients with comorbid conditions, including cancer, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, Cushing's syndrome, premature ovarian failure (POF) or premature ovarian insufficiency, liver disorders, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus (type 1 or type 2), and patients receiving steroid therapy
