Sex Selection of Human Spermatozoa Study
This study is looking for couples undergoing infertility treatment (IVF or insemination) who want to choose the gender of their child for medical or non-medical reasons. It aims to find a simple, reliable, and affordable way to select sperm that will result in a boy or a girl. Researchers will use a special procedure called Sperm Sorting, which involves a multilayer density gradient solution (Enhance-S Plus Cell Isolation Media) to separate sperm. This selected sperm will then be used in standard IVF or intrauterine insemination procedures. The study will measure how well this method works by looking at the percentage of desired gender sperm after sorting, and later, the gender of embryos and offspring. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 2000 participants aged 18 to 89 years.
- Study design
- This interventional study aims to enroll 2000 participants to test a method for selecting gender-specific sperm.
- What's involved
- Couples will undergo evaluation and treatment following standard clinic procedures, and males will provide sperm samples for analysis and sorting.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 8 years to assess the gender of embryos and offspring.
