Study Summary
This trial is designed to offer ovarian tissue cryopreservation to female pediatric patients with fertility threatening medical diagnoses.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for girls from birth to 17 years old with conditions that threaten fertility, such as cancer or Turner's syndrome. They must be facing treatments like surgery, chemo, or radiation that could harm their ovaries. Girls who can't fully consent or have severe ovarian damage aren't eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study offers ovarian tissue cryopreservation—an experimental procedure to save and freeze ovarian tissue—to young female patients at risk of losing reproductive potential due to medical treatments.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a preservation technique rather than a drug treatment, the main risks involve surgical complications and the effects of anesthesia required for the procedure.
