Is this trial a fit for you?

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

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the efficacy of TetraSOD®, a marine phytoplankton extract, in improving semen quality in men with idiopathic infertility. The study will administer a lower dose of 125 mg/day to assess its effectiveness compared to previous trials that used a higher dose. Participants will be male patients aged 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with specific forms of infertility after a year of unsuccessful attempts to conceive. The trial aims to explore the relationship between oxidative stress and male fertility, potentially offering new insights into treatment options.
