Very little is known about how medical providers can help adolescent and young adults (AYAs) and their caregivers make decisions about fertility preservation (sperm banking) before beginning cancer treatment. The purpose of this study is to see if having a guided conversation about fertility preservation increases preservation rates and/or satisfaction with the decision among AYA males with cancer. The primary hypothesis is that compared to standard of care control group (routine fertility consult at diagnosis, n=20), AYAs in the intervention arm (routine fertility consult at diagnosis + FP Decision Tool and Facilitated Conversation by trained interventionist) will have higher rates of FP uptake. The secondary hypothesis is that families in the intervention group will report better FP decision quality compared to those in the control arm.

The overall objective of the proposed study is to enhance early detection of male factor infertility and reduce cost and morbidity associated with delayed diagnosis through development of a universal screening model based on home semen testing. The advent of inexpensive and accurate home semen testing has enabled a potential paradigm shift in the approach to male fertility evaluation. The investigator's central hypothesis is that universal home semen testing prior to attempts to conceive is easy for participants and can lead to reduced fertility-related anxiety and early detection of male factor infertility, thereby expediting evaluation and treatment for the couple while minimizing unnecessary cost and morbidity. This study is specifically designed to assess the feasibility and utility of home semen testing for couples who are beginning attempts to conceive. First, the investigator will assess participants' ability to complete the home semen testing, ease of use, and obstacles encountered in doing so. Second, the investigator will examine the impact of home semen testing in fertility-related quality of life among couples beginning attempts to conceive, as well as ability of home semen testing to increase the diagnosis and treatment of male infertility in these couples.

Old age, obesity, physical inactivity, environmental factors and genetics may contribute negatively to fertility in both males and females. In males, specifically, certain supplements, such as single antioxidants and trace minerals, have previously been shown to improve sperm function marginally. One hypothesis is that sperm function can be improved even further by combining several different types of supplements (e.g., amino acids, energy carriers, vitamins, antioxidants, and trace minerals) to target several age-related cell pathways, for example, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation and cell energetics. This 3-month placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial, aims to test the effects of a novel multi-ingredient supplement (Fertility Enhancer) that targets several age-related cell pathways on sperm function in overweight or obese and subfertile males.

This study looks at an investigational automated, artificial intelligence (AI)-based sperm selection technology called the BAIBYS™ System. We want to see how it compares to current methods in terms of efficiency and effectiveness in producing high-quality Embryos, which can lead to successful pregnancies and healthy babies. Infertility impacts about 15% of couples globally, with male issues contributing to around 50% of these cases. You will be undergoing a treatment called Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) as part of your planned treatment program. In this procedure, embryologists inject selected sperm into an egg, based on its movement, observed under a low-magnification microscope. However, this method does not fully detect defects in sperm shape that may indicate sperm quality. Recent studies show that using high magnification for sperm selection is important for successful fertilization, higher embryo quality, lower birth defect rates, and higher birth rates of healthy babies. Selecting sperm manually under a microscope at high magnification takes a lot of time and depends on the skill of embryologists, which can lead to differences in judgment. Because of this, there is an interest in using AI to make sperm selection more accurate, consistent, and faster. The BAIBYS™ System uses advanced AI technology to automatically choose sperm based on their movement, size, and shape. These features help to determine the sperm's potential to be normal and produce a good embryo. The system also organizes the selected sperm into separate areas from which the embryologist will pick the sperm for injection into the egg. This investigational device could become a valuable tool in reproductive technology. Clinical research is crucial to confirm these ideas and show their long-term effects on fertility treatments. In this study, half of the oocytes retrieved during your IVF cycle will be injected with sperm selected from your partner's (or known donor's) semen by using the BAIBYS™ System, while the other half will be fertilized by sperm chosen according to the standard procedure at this institution. In any case, the embryologist will confirm that the sperm selected by the device are viable and acceptable. After fertilization, the best embryo, no matter which study group, will be selected for transfer to the uterus for pregnancy, and the rest of the good embryos will be frozen based on the institution's best standard clinical guidelines.

This is a study of infertility which often occurs in men with spinal cord injury. Most men with spinal cord injury have a normal sperm count but abnormally low sperm motility - which means that the sperm does not swim well. This study will determine if a medicine given by mouth will improve sperm motility in men with spinal cord injuries. The medicine is called probenecid.

Male factor infertility is a leading cause of primary and secondary infertility. Poor sperm quality is defined as having an abnormal semen analysis. There are now options to assess sperm quality with at-home sperm analysis kits, including an FDA approved Yo Sperm kit (https://yospermtest.com/) which analyzes the motile sperm concentration \[concentration (millions / ml) x motility (Percentage motile)\] and sperm quality (YO Score) which compares your results to laboratory standards and to other men who have fathered children. The effects of supplements (vitamins, minerals, and anti-oxidants) on improving sperm quality are still debated. Taking additional supplements to improve sperm quality represent a modifiable risk-factor that would be an easy intervention for patients struggling with male factor infertility. The life cycle of sperm production is estimated at 3 months, so any intervention would require a 3 month course to see its full effect. The investigators hypothesize that a 90 day course of the "Power Prenatal for Sperm", a male fertility supplement by Bird\&Be (https://birdandbe.com/the-power-prenatal-for-sperm) will improve sperm quality (YO Score) after taking the supplements.

Purpose: This clinical trial aims to explore the potential for human sperm production in vitro by sustaining a laboratory-cultured adult testicular environment. It also seeks to identify genetic factors contributing to human sterility and failed spermatogenesis. The study's primary objectives include: 1. Identifying genomic markers associated with sterility and failed spermatogenesis. 2. Developing an ex vivo (outside the body) testis "organ-on-a-chip" ("iTestis") to support stem cell cultivation. 3. Determining whether human spermatogenesis can be re-created in vitro using stem cells nurtured in the iTestis model. Study Description: Researchers will analyze the genomic profiles of fertile and sterile male participants to map genetic abnormalities associated with sterility. Using testicular and skin tissue samples from participants, spermatogonial stem cells and pluripotent stem cells will be isolated and utilized to construct the ex vivo iTestis. This system will integrate genomic insights and prior research to foster human spermatogenesis outside the body. Participant Involvement: Participants will provide the following samples: * Blood sample for serum analysis. * A skin tissue biopsy. * Testicular tissue, obtained through fine needle aspiration (FNA) or testicular sperm extraction (TESE), as part of a routine procedure. All procedures will be conducted by the principal investigator and qualified research staff, ensuring participant safety and adherence to ethical guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Male Infertility clinical trials 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 Male Infertility clinical trials 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 Male Infertility trials 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 for Male Infertility 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 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 Male Infertility medical study?

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 Male Infertility clinical trials?

Most recently, we added BAIBYS Sperm Selection for Male Infertility, Fertility Supplement for Male Infertility and Stem Cell Therapy for Male Infertility to the Power online platform.
