Gamete Treatment for Fertilization Failure

This study is exploring a new gamete (egg and sperm) treatment to help with fertilization for people experiencing infertility. You might be able to join if you've had complete fertilization failure with standard IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) or if one prior ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) treatment cycle didn't work. The treatment involves preparing sperm using a special mesh and exposing eggs to activating agents to encourage embryo development. Researchers will measure the fertilization rate after 2 months to see how well the treatment works. The study aims to enroll 1200 participants and is currently unclear about its recruitment status.

Study design
This study is an interventional study planning to enroll 1200 participants. It is designed to assess the efficacy of gamete treatment on fertilization and embryo development.
What's involved
You would undergo a gamete treatment procedure, which involves preparing sperm and exposing eggs to activating agents. Developing embryos would then be monitored for up to 5 days.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, fertilization rate, is measured at 2 months.
