PTO Trial Summary

This trial looks to help those with gonadotoxic treatments or gonadal ablating surgery by freezing and storing their ovarian tissue for later use. Although the procedure is experimental, it has resulted in 86 live births.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for girls and young women from 2 months to less than 18 years old who are facing treatments that could cause permanent loss of ovarian function, or need ovary removal due to a medical condition. They must not be eligible for standard fertility preservation and should understand the consent process.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the freezing (cryo-preservation) and thawing of ovarian tissue in patients undergoing treatments that may impair future fertility. The goal is to preserve their ability to conceive later on, although this method is still experimental.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects mainly relate to surgical risks associated with anesthesia and the procedure itself, as well as possible complications from handling and re-implanting frozen tissue at a later time.
