Trial Now Recruiting: IntelliWell: An AI-Assisted Imaging Platform for Detection and Location of Ultra-Rare Testicular Sperm in Surgical Specimens (NCT07074015)

Researchers are testing a new AI-powered tool called IntelliWell that can find sperm cells in testicular tissue samples that appeared to have no sperm when checked the traditional way. If the tool successfully finds sperm, those cells could be used to help men with infertility have biological children through a procedure called ICSI. The study is enrolling 20 participants at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

WHY IT MATTERSFor men with azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) who were told their testicular tissue had no usable sperm, this AI tool could recover sperm that was missed by standard testing, potentially making fertility treatment possible when it seemed impossible before.

New Recruiting Trial: Functional Ovarian Reserve in Sickle Cell Disease

Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital are looking for people with sickle cell disease to participate in a study about egg health and fertility. The study will examine how sickle cell disease affects the ovaries and a woman's ability to have children. This research could help doctors better understand and protect fertility in women with sickle cell disease.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial is now recruiting patients with sickle cell disease to understand how the disease affects ovarian function and fertility — information that could lead to better fertility preservation strategies for affected women.
