Study Summary

This trial is for a new form of transplant to treat Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI). The technique of uterus transplant was developed in Sweden and this trial will be performed in the United States. The transplant is of a uterus from a living or deceased donor to a woman affected by AUFI.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 20-40 with Absolute Uterine Factor Infertility (AUFI) due to a missing or nonfunctional uterus, who have at least one working ovary and are willing to undergo in-vitro fertilization. They must not smoke, abuse substances, or have recent cancer history. Women over 65, those with significant health risks like diabetes or hypertension, and anyone unable to meet study requirements are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing uterine transplants from living or deceased donors as a treatment for AUFI in women who wish to give birth. The goal is successful pregnancy and live birth post-transplantation. Ten participants will receive transplants after ensuring they have viable embryos through IVF.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to surgery such as infection risk, reaction to anesthesia, rejection of the transplanted uterus requiring removal (hysterectomy), and possible adverse reactions to immunosuppressive drugs used to prevent transplant rejection.
