About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Infertility focused on measuring Fertility preservation, Ovarian Tissue, Cryopreservation, Assisted Reproductive Technology

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 40 Years (Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Will undergo surgery, chemotherapy, drug treatment and/or radiation for the treatment or prevention of a medical condition or malignancy which are likely to result in permanent loss of subsequent ovarian function or diminished fertility
  • Have a medical condition or malignancy that requires removal of all or part of one or both ovaries
  • Patients may have newly diagnosed or recurrent disease
  • Be in good health so as to be able to undergo laparoscopic surgery as determined by history and physical examinations, and consultation with the medical oncologist, reproductive endocrinologist, surgeon and anesthesiologist

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Moderate to high-risk of ovarian failure due to treatment
  • Documented ovarian metastasis
  • HIV or hepatitis (B, C)-positive serology
  • Absolute surgical contraindications
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
  • Pregnancy
  • Women with psychological, psychiatric, or other conditions which prevent giving fully informed consent

Sites / Locations

  • Newton Wellesley Hospital

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Ovarian tissue cryopreservation

Arm Description

The ovarian tissue is cryopreserved and stored at Boston IVF, which is an FDA compliant and American Association of Tissue Banks accredited long term storage facility for reproductive tissue.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety
Safety, which will be assessed by tracking the number of minor and major complications of the procedure including the following: Minor: Local infection Major: Blood loss requiring blood transfusion, major infection requiring admission or parental antibiotics, injury to surrounding organs requiring further procedures, hospitalization due to unforeseen operative complication

Secondary Outcome Measures

Efficacy
Proportion of women who attempt pregnancy Proportion of women who become pregnant and outcome Proportion of women using assisted reproduction after re-implantation or ovarian tissue. Menstrual cyclicity and ovarian reserve in those with and without re-implantation
