Fertility Restoration With Autotransplantation of Cryopreserved Immature Testicular Tissue (ITT) Restaurer la fertilité à Partir de Tissu Testiculaire Immature (TTI) cryopréservé Par Auto-transplantation du Tissu

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Procedure
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

This is a pilot clinical trial to evaluate the feasibility and outcome of autologous transplantation of immature testicular tissue cryopreserved during childhood as a method of fertility preservation for prepubertal boys in case of gonadotoxic therapies. Freezing of immature testicular tissue is performed since the early 2000s and a number of our patients have now reached reproductive age. In case of childwish and azoospermia in adulthood, surgical sperm retrieval is planned and if unsucessful transplantation of the patient's own cryopreserved tissue will be performed during the same surgical intervention as a fertility restoration method.

Eligibility
Participation Requirements
Sex: Male
Minimum Age: 18
Maximum Age: 40
Healthy Volunteers: f
View:

• patients who have completed their gonadotoxic treatment

• patients who are in good health after care of the primary disease based on hemato-oncologist input

• patients with proven azoospermia in adulthood and child's wish requesting transplantation

• patients who cryopreserved and stored their immature testicular tissue (in conformity with regulatory requirements)

• in case of prior hematological malignant disease or metatstatic cancer, if the multidisciplinary assesment considers the risk of cancer cell contamination is negligible
