Study Summary

This trial is investigating if transplanting a uterus from a donor can allow a woman with absolute uterine infertility to have a child.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 20-35 with absolute uterine infertility, who have functioning ovaries but no uterus due to congenital absence or surgical removal. Participants must be HPV negative, free from certain STIs, and able to fund assisted reproduction services. They should not have a BMI over 30, any substance abuse history in the past year, diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, active infections or other medical conditions that increase risk.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests uterine transplants from living or deceased donors in women with absolute uterine infertility aiming for a successful pregnancy and live birth. It follows a model based on previous Swedish research and involves subsequent in-vitro fertilization procedures after transplantation.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to surgery such as infection or bleeding; rejection of the transplanted uterus requiring immunosuppressive drugs which can lead to increased infection risk; and possible adverse reactions to fertility treatments involved.
