The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of using Fertilo for In vitro maturation (IVM) in participants 18-35 years of age. The main question it aims to answer is whether the use of Fertilo is superior to using Medicult IVM for In vitro maturation. Researchers will compare the number of ongoing pregnancies at 12 weeks gestation for participants in each arm. * Arm 1 participants will have all cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs), or eggs surrounded by helper cells, cultured in Fertilo for 30 hours. * Arm 2 participants will have all cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs), or eggs surrounded by helper cells, cultured in Medicult IVM for 30 hours.

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Ivf clinical trials in Los Angeles, CA pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Ivf clinical trials in Los Angeles, CA work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Ivf trials in Los Angeles, CA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Los Angeles, CA for Ivf is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Los Angeles, CA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Ivf medical study in Los Angeles, CA?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Ivf clinical trials in Los Angeles, CA?

Most recently, we added Fertilo for In Vitro Maturation to the Power online platform.

Which type of IVF is best?

There isn’t one “best” IVF for everyone—what works best depends on your situation. Conventional high-dose IVF (or IVF + ICSI for severe male-factor infertility) is often chosen when you need the highest number of embryos quickly, mild/mini-stim or natural-cycle IVF can suit women who want lower drug exposure or have low ovarian reserve, and donor-egg IVF gives the highest success when egg quality is the main problem. Talk with a reproductive endocrinologist about your age, egg and sperm tests, medical risks, budget, and how many children you hope for; those factors together point to the right IVF strategy for you.

What are the unintended consequences of IVF?

Think of IVF risks in three stages. 1) During treatment: strong fertility drugs can occasionally cause ovarian-hyperstimulation (pain, fluid build-up; severe forms in <1 % of cycles) and procedures carry small risks of bleeding or infection. 2) During pregnancy: because more than one embryo may take, twins or triplets are more common, raising chances of miscarriage, high blood pressure, C-section, or premature birth; single-embryo transfer and careful monitoring now cut this risk sharply. 3) For the child and family: babies from IVF are mostly healthy, but studies show a small increase in low birth-weight and certain birth defects (roughly 1–2 extra cases per 100 births), and families must also weigh the emotional stress and financial cost of repeated cycles. Discussing embryo number, drug dosing, and support resources with your fertility team is the main way to minimise these unintended consequences.

Why are IVF meds so expensive?

IVF drug prices are high because several costs stack on top of one another: they are expensive biologic proteins to manufacture, sold to a relatively small group of patients, protected by patents with few biosimilar competitors, and dispensed through specialty pharmacies with little insurance price pressure—together this keeps per-cycle medication bills in the roughly $3,000-$5,000 range in the U.S. Ask your clinic about lower-cost urinary or biosimilar gonadotropins, manufacturer “compassionate-care” discounts, and price quotes from multiple specialty pharmacies; these steps can shave hundreds to thousands of dollars from that total.

What are the odds of getting a successful IVF?

Success in IVF is usually measured by a live-birth: in the most recent CDC data a woman under 35 averages about a 45 % chance per cycle, 35-37 yrs about 35 %, 38-40 yrs about 25 %, and over 40 yrs 5-15 %; when you add two more cycles the cumulative chance rises to roughly 65-70 %, 60 %, 50 %, and 20-30 % respectively. Age is the single biggest predictor, but clinic expertise, cause of infertility, embryo testing, and lifestyle (weight, smoking) can raise or lower these odds, so ask your clinic for their age-specific live-birth rates when deciding how many cycles to attempt.

Did Courteney Cox do IVF?

Yes. Courteney Cox has said she went through several rounds of in-vitro fertilisation after suffering repeated miscarriages and, once doctors treated an underlying blood-clotting/antibody problem with blood thinners, one IVF cycle led to the successful pregnancy that produced her daughter Coco in 2004. Claims that an MTHFR gene mutation was the specific cause come from secondary websites rather than Cox’s own statements or medical reports and are not supported by current medical evidence.

Why is IVF controversial?

IVF sparks debate for three main reasons: it routinely creates extra embryos whose freezing, testing or disposal some religions and bioethicists view as ending a life; the hormone treatments and transfer of multiple embryos can put mothers and babies at higher medical risk; and its high price, use by single or same-sex parents, and patchwork laws force society to ask who should access or regulate it. In short, IVF sits at the intersection of embryo ethics, patient safety and shifting social norms, so people’s views vary with the weight they give each of those concerns.

Are IVF babies more likely to have ADHD?

Large national studies that account for prematurity, twins and parental health find no meaningful increase in ADHD among children conceived with IVF; any small uptick seen in a few analyses (≈10 % relative, <1 per 1 000 absolute) disappears when those other factors are included. In short, current evidence says the lab process of IVF is not a direct cause of ADHD—focusing on a healthy single-baby pregnancy and routine pediatric follow-up remains the best way to support your child.

Is IVF hard on the body?

IVF does put extra demands on your body—most people feel bloating, mood swings and a day or two of pelvic soreness, while serious problems like severe ovarian-hyperstimulation happen in fewer than 2 % of cycles and are closely monitored. With today’s gentler drug protocols, good pain control and prompt follow-up, the physical effects are usually short-lived, so the bigger challenge for many couples is managing stress and expectations rather than long-term harm. Most patients are back to normal activities within a few days; call your clinic right away if you have sudden severe pain, rapid weight gain or trouble breathing.

How to get more mature eggs IVF?

A “mature” egg is one that has reached the M-II stage so it can be fertilised—your goal is to raise both the number and the percentage of these eggs. Ask your doctor about protocol tweaks that research shows can help, such as adding a little LH during stimulation, using a “dual-trigger” (GnRH-agonist plus low-dose hCG) 36 hours before retrieval, or starting supplements like DHEA or CoQ10 6–8 weeks beforehand if you have low ovarian reserve. At home, keep a healthy BMI, avoid tobacco/alcohol, and follow a Mediterranean-style diet and moderate exercise; these steps improve blood flow and hormone balance but work best when combined with the right medication plan.

Who is a bad candidate for IVF?

IVF is usually discouraged when (1) the woman has almost no usable eggs and will not consider donor eggs, (2) serious medical conditions or extreme obesity make pregnancy hazardous, or (3) the uterus is so damaged or absent that it cannot carry a baby. It is also unlikely to help after repeated failed cycles with poor-quality embryos or when pregnancy risks outweigh benefits; in these cases doctors discuss options such as donor eggs, a gestational carrier, or adoption. A reproductive-endocrinology team reviews ovarian reserve tests, overall health, and uterine anatomy to decide whether IVF, an alternative treatment, or avoiding pregnancy is the safest plan.
