Clinical Trial Summary

Whether it is for oncology or personal reasons, fertility preservation allows participants to preserve their oocytes (eggs) at their current age and condition for a better chance of having a baby in the future.

In order to proceed with fertility preservation, participants will need to undergo in vitro fertilization (IVF), which is standard practice, and take stimulation medication to stimulate production of more follicles.

The combination of both Rekovelle and Menopur for fertility preservation may increase ovarian response to stimulation and increase the number of oocytes retrieved to give better chances of embryos once the oocytes will be fertilized.

The goal in this study is to understand the effect of oxydative stress on the quality of oocytes.

For the purpose of the study and to evaluate this connection, serum levels of oxidative stress and cf-DNA in your blood will be measured.

Oocyte quality will also be assessed with Magenta, a prediction tool utilizing artificial intelligence (AI). This method is non-invasive and has no risks on the oocytes.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Fertility Preservation

Intervention

Other:
• Oxidative stress
Oxidative stress occurs as soon as there is an imbalance between pro- / antioxidants, and molecules exhibiting antioxidant properties are at the forefront of fertility treatment and preservation. Oxidated stress will be measured by blood sample
• cf-DNA
cfDNA, extracted from blood plasma in samples collected will uncover the potential role of cfDNA as a stress signal released in response to oxidative stress
• MAGENTA AI
Non-invasive technique analyzing images of oocytes that can differentiate oocytes with a higher reproductive potential reflective of their quality
