U.S., Oct. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07197983) titled 'Automation of Oocyte and Embryo Vitrification: A Pilot Study' on Sept. 25.
Brief Summary: Purpose: This study aims to test whether a new automated system can freeze human eggs and embryos as effectively as the current manual method performed by laboratory staff.
Background: Currently, freezing eggs and embryos during fertility treatments (IVF/ICSI) is done entirely by hand by skilled embryologists. This manual process is time-consuming, requires extensive training, and outcomes can vary between different staff members. Automating this process could help standardize procedures, reduce costs, and potentially make fertility treatments ...
