Autologous Hair Follicle Secretome + PRP for POI

Official title: Does the Secretome From Autologous Hair Follicle-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Ovarian Reserve in Women With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency?

Run by Trio Fertility · NCT07916740 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This pilot study tests whether a patient’s own hair follicle secretome combined with their own platelet-rich plasma can improve ovarian function in women with premature ovarian insufficiency.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Women aged 25-40 with POI, evidenced by AFC < 5, AMH < 3 pmol/L, and FSH > 30 IU/L on two occasions.

Probably not a fit

Patients without POI characteristics or with contraindications to the procedure may not benefit from this approach.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a small, single-arm study to explore whether autologous hair follicle–derived mesenchymal stem cell secretome together with autologous PRP can modulate ovarian function in POI. Participants receive the combination therapy via transvaginal injection under ultrasound guidance and are followed with serial hormone tests and ultrasound assessments. Outcomes include changes in FSH, AMH, AFC, as well as menstrual function, ovulation, and pregnancy status. The study aims to generate preliminary data on feasibility, safety, and potential ovarian response to inform future controlled trials.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could offer a novel way to support ovarian activity and fertility potential in POI using a patient’s own biological materials.

How similar studies have gone: Prior work in related autologous cell-based approaches has shown exploratory signals of ovarian activity, but this exact combination is novel and exploratory for POI.
