Plain-English translation of NCT05440617 on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗ · Source last updated · Translation generated · How we translate trials
This is a research study that collects ovarian tissue samples from people who are freezing their ovarian tissue before undergoing cancer treatment that could affect their fertility. The tissue collected becomes part of a national research database and biobank that helps scientists better understand how ovaries work and what happens to fertility after cancer therapy.
Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation can damage or destroy ovarian function, leading to infertility and early menopause in young women and girls. This study exists to gather real tissue samples and long-term health information that will help researchers improve fertility preservation techniques and understand the long-term reproductive effects of cancer treatment.

You likely don't qualify if…
If you qualify, your participation will involve having a portion of your ovarian tissue collected during your standard fertility preservation procedure at the National Institutes of Health. This tissue sample will be de-identified (your name removed) and added to a national research database. You may be asked to provide follow-up information about your health and reproductive outcomes over time, but the main participation happens at the time of your tissue collection.
